Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

If you claim to be a Bollywood fan, then you should've watched Andaz Apna Apna. As simple as that! There are people who watch the cult classic once a week. Such is the popularity of AAA, Rajkumar Santoshi's only attempt at comedy till date in his entire career. The veteran went ahead and did a lot of serious films later on. Now he's back with a romcom, Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani.

Music-wise too, his films haven't been bad at all. AAA and Pukar had a few memorable numbers and of course, Khakee had the extremely popular Dil Dooba.

Pritam on the other hand has been kind of choosy this year. He's had 2 super hit soundtracks in Love Aaj Kal and New York and other albums weren't bad too. Nothing path-breaking is expected in APKGK too!


1. Main tera dhadkan teri : After Twist, here's another song from Pritam that's all set to burn the dance floor. With K.K and Sunidhi Chauhan at the helm with Hard Kaur chipping in with the rap, this song picturized on Ranbir is sure to be a nightclub favorite and would stay on top of the charts for the month, until Pritam comes up with another song like this!

2. Tu jaane na : Atif Aslam teaming up with Pritam has always yielded very good results, in the form of Tere Bin (Bas ek pal) , Pehli Nazar(Race) and Bakhuda (Kismat Konnection). Tu jaane na is no different. The song is so simple(yet effective) that 1 minute into it, you start singing with Atif. Definitely one of the few good romantic melodies to have come out this year. One line bears a startling resemblance to a line from Koi tumsa nahin (Krrish) though. Never mind, it's Pritam; it's expected!

3. Oh by god : The bum bum bole-ish start makes you curious but then this song turns out to be too noisy. Mika and Sunidhi try hard, but are unable to save the song. I don't think this will be used as a full song in the movie, maybe just here and there in the background.

4. Prem ki naiyya : Finally a song where Neeraj Shridhar doesn't sound hoarse, as he always does! Prem ki naiyya can be aptly called the Chor bazari of APKGK. It's a nice, fun track with a lot of cuckoos in the background

5. Aa jao meri tamanna : Javed Ali, who got his big break with Ek din (Naqaab), teams up with Pritam again after a super successful stint with ARR. This song isn't instantly appealing as have been most of the other songs in this album, but takes time for you to get familiar with it. Anyway it isn't that great a song; just above average. May catch up after the film releases.

6. Tera hone laga hoon : The trash English lyrics at the beginning of the song instantly put me off. Again, we have an average number here. But for Atif Aslam, the song is completely forgettable. Alisha Chinoy is hardly there, only her digitally enhanced voice is heard in whatever little we hear of her. But the excessive promotion has actually made many people like this song. Sad.

7. Follow me : Hard Kaur gets a whole rap track for herself. This track forms the base for song no: 1. Again, will be used only in the background.


It's Pritam's year. The soundtrack is more than sufficient for a film like APKGK. Nothing path-breaking, nowhere close to Love Aaj Kal or New York, but good enough to be played on for a few weeks, as long as the film survives at the box office.
