Director: Ahmed Khan

Music director: Sandeep Shirodkar, Arko, Mithoon, Gourov-Roshin, Pranaay Rijay

1. Mundiyan - Navraj Hans, Palak Muchhal

Recreating a sensational Punjabi song is a tough job. Especially if the execution is haywire, the song would turn out to be a damp squib. However, Sandeep Shirodkar does a commendable job in remixing the popular Mundian To Bach Ke bhangra song and giving it an excellent contemporary touch. Singers Navraj Hans and Palak Muchhal also do justice to the number with their playful vocals. Chartbuster!

2. Ek Do Teen - Shreya Ghoshal, Parry G (rap)

Here comes yet another remix version of the evergreen song Ek Do Teen from Tehzaab. This song is touted to be an item number featuring actress Jacquelin Fernandez. With some high-on-energy beats, this remix version is foot-tapping and is sure to stay on the charts just for its popularity quotient. Though Shreya Ghoshal puts in her best efforts, somewhere midway her rendition falls short. Rap by Parry G also doesn't make any impact. This Sandeep Shirodkar rehash would work well with the visuals.

3. O Saathi - Atif Aslam

Beginning with a lilting lullaby-like humming, this mellifluous romantic ballad is sure to mesmerize every music lover. This song scores high on the breezy quotient with its simplistic tune and minimal orchestration. The entire number lies on Atif Aslam's shoulders, whose flawless rendition flows like honey in the ears. Dulcet guitar strums and flute loops punctuate throughout the song and elevate its lovely mood. Instantly likeable track from composer Arko!

4. Lo Safar - Jubin Nautiyal

Mithoon gets into his composer mode with this refreshing love song. The ebullient guitar strums play throughout the background and set the overall mood of the song. Heartmelting flute sections in the interludes accentuate the romantic feel. Jubin Nautiyal's voice oozes with melody and he croons with elan. Though the song has an oft-repeated template, it is sure to find a top place in the charts and linger in your playlists for a long time. Beautiful!

5. Soniye Dil Nayi - Ankit Tiwari, Shruti Pathak

A cacophony of flute and strings open this number along with a lovely chorus. The song then veers off into a soulful duet with some foot-tapping beats and a reverberating effect that would calm the listener. Ankit Tiwari and Shruti Pathak yield the megaphone with ease and their mellowed rendition makes this number even more amazing. The electronic guitar section in the second interlude provides the ideal break before continuing the breeziness of the number. Perfect for lovey-dovey evenings with your loved one!

6. Get Ready To Fight Again - Pranaay, Anand Bhaskar, Jatinder Singh, Siddharth Basrur, Big Dhillon

Right from the word go, this theme song has some energetic techno beats and electro dance music that is perfect for a situational number. There's nothing new in the tune, except the jubilant voices of Jatinder Singh, Siddharth Basrur, Pranaay, Big Dhillon and Anand Bhaskar. This short theme track will do better with visuals.

Verdict:

This multi-composer soundtrack is high on melody and feel-good songs. These songs are sure to be played repeatedly in the upcoming days. Listen to this album for those sweet melodies and give the remixes a try.
