Based on South Indian dappankuthu beats, this energetic number is the first offering of the album by composer Amaal Malik. Though it has too much shades of many previous party numbers in Bollywood, it would still go down well with the masses.

This number composed by Mithoon is a rehash of a popular melodious duet of the 90s Ae Mere Humsafar. The original one had a happy shade to it while this one has a touch of pathos all over.

With the accompaniment of mellowed piano notes and the not-so-perfect rendition by Mithoon and Tulsi Kumar, this number would appeal after a few listens.

5.Tu Milade-Ankit Tiwari

Well, this number is Himesh Reshmaiyya's forte as it has his stamp all over it. Unlike the previous numbers, this one provides a refreshing change to the the entire album. Upbeat rhythm, blaring hard rock guitar strums and an addictive tune makes this number an ultimate winner. Ankit Tiwari once again proves that he is the best when it comes to melody rock songs. Excellent!
