The tune is nothing special but the singers are a treasure to listen to. Udit Narayan and Yagnik lead the sweet number in J-L’s, “ Dagariya Chalo”. The middle portions between the “ Gum Shuda” refrains are tolerable but those parts have an outdated eighties/Bappi Lahiri feel to them. Ouch! Well, to be fair, he does not shout but he repeats it so much that it feels like the song is being forced into your ears. Please cover your ears as Nigam repetitively shouts, “ Gum Shudaaaaaa”. Things take a downturn with Shrivastava’s next song “ Gum Shuda” Pappu Dhillon and Babu Maan) alive and makes your heart skip a beat. Singh magically brings the emotive poetry (by Shrivastava’s music has a traditional Punjabi tone to it and, naturally, Singh feels right at home in this lovely composition. Sukhwinder Singh take center stage in “ Layi Vi Na Gayee”. Javed Akhtar’s lyrics play a huge part in making this song so loveable!Ībhijeet and J-L take a break and let Aadesh Shrivastava and I especially love the way they knowingly say the word “ kahaan” as if they are slightly nervous about where they are heading but are also anticipating it. Abhijeet’s soothing intro is marvelous! Another excellent part of the song is when both he and Yagnik hum “ mmm ooo kya bata… kahaan hum chale”. There is also an instrumental version of this.Ībhijeet opens up the next song, “ Chalte Chalte” with the introductory line “ Pyar humko bhi hai, Pyar tumko bhi hai, To yeh kya silsile hogaye”.

Jatin-Lalit were a bit too heavy-handed with the beats, which is occasionally slightly louder than the singing. Rendered by Abhijeet andĪlka Yagnik, “ Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishare” is an instantly likeable romantic duet. It is a relief to know that it is anything but that. When I first read the lyrics “ Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishare, Hum To Deewane Hain Tumhare”, I feared that it might be a re-tread of another Abhijeet-Shah Rukh Khan song, “ Hum To Deewane Hue Yaar, Tere Deewane Hue Yaar” (“ Baadshah”). Roaming through the songs, it is clear who the real star of the soundtrack is.įor Abhijeet is given the most melodious songs in the album and evidently those are the tracks that are making an instant impact on the charts right now. Alas, “Chalte Chalte” does not reallyįulfill any of those types of expectations but that is not to say that it is not a good album. Indeed, it would not be unreasonable to expect an album that might just be as good as “ Yes Boss” and “ Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani”.

It would be silly to expect a soundtrack of “ Pakeezah” proportions from “ Chalte Chalte”. Singers: Abhijeet, Alka Yagnik, Sukhwinder Singh, Udit Narayan, Sonu Nigam, Preeti and Lyrics: Javed Akhtar, Pappu Dhillon and Babu Maan
