Happy Ending is a 2014 romantic comedy which released on November 21. It has Saif Ali Khan,Govindha,Ileana D'Cruz and Kalki Koechlin in the lead roles. Music is composed by Sachin-Jigar who are on the top notch nowadays.

1.Mileya Mileya-Jigar Saraiya,Rekha Bharadwaj,Priya Andrews

The album opens with a breezy love ballad that is high on the melody quotient. The composition is classy and with Jigar Saraiya yielding the megaphone, it gets even better. Rekha Bharadwaj's effervescent rendition is honey to the ears and Priya Andrews does a commendable job. The number will instantly make you fall in love with it. The instruments violin and guitar are used well. Mellifluous!

2.Paaji Tussi Such A Pussy Cat-Amitabh Bhattacharya

A quirky song that will bring a smile on the lips with the very first listen. The nursery rhyme like composition is abundantly funny and the visuals will make it even more enjoyable. The rhythm change in the second stanza gives a R&B touch to the number for a few moments. The repetitive 'Paaji Tussi Such A Pussy Cat' is addictive and the opera ending changes the track into a versatile one. Amitabh's easygoing rendition is pleasant to hear. Chartbuster!

3.Jaise Mera Tu-Arijit Singh,Priya Saraiya

This one is a charming romantic duet that is sure to find a place in the charts. Though it's a remake of Meher Meher number from Raj & DK's Telugu film D for DOPIDI, it carries a whip of freshness all over. Arijit Singh handles the song well with his endearing voice and Jigar's wife Priya Saraiya captivates us with her flawless singing. Another winner!

4.G Phaad Ke-Divya Kumar,Shefali Alvares

A party number which will make its way to the dance floors. It has a controversial touch to it with its lyrics. But brushing it aside, it is a rocking track that integrates all the elements to end up as a dance song. Divya Kumar and Shefali Alvares are excellent in bringing out the right mood of this celebration number.

5.Khamma Ghani-Papon,Smiti Jain,Vidhi Mehta

I think Sachin-Jigar will never run out of melodies as it is becoming their trademark to churn out memorable songs (remember Jeene laga hoon and Gulabi?). Khamma Ghani is a Rajasthani greeting which is effectively used in this gusty number. Papon sounds like an evergreen singer while Smiti and Vidhi complement him well. The string sections work out well in favor of the song and brings out its richness.

6.Haseena Tu Kameena Main-Siddharth Basrur,Rahul Pandey,Shruthi Pathak

The soundtrack gets its final number which is a flirtatious one. The occasional whistle sounds make it a peppy listen and the saxophone blends with the track perfectly. Shruthi Pathak yields the megaphone with ease as her voice flows freely in addition to Siddharth's nearly ideal singing. Gives a delightful end to the album!

Verdict:

The album of Happy Ending is a breezy one that is sure to strike a chord with hardcore romantics. Sachin-Jigar move a notch higher with this soundtrack and their melodies are innovative & engaging.
