Kaun is Ramu's next biggie - or actually smallie because Ramu finished shooting for this low-budget film in 40 days, I believe. The suspense-comedy has only three characters, played by Urmila Matondkar, Manoj Bajpai and Sushant Kumar.

The film does not have any songs, reason being that songs would have hindered the pace of the thriller. The audio has a track called "Who's that?" where Urmila and Manoj say a few words and leave the rest to Sandeep's singers. The orchestration does remind you of the theme song of Ramu's very own Daud - "The thump of Daud". Apart from this pretty interesting "song" and an unbilled instrumental track of background music from the movie at the end of Side A, the album has nothing new to offer - and I mean literally.

Excess audio space - there's a lot of that - is filled with songs from Dil Se and Satya. This is where Venus could have done better. I mean - WHO doesn't have the audio of Dil Se or even that of Satya? Venus should have included less popular - but still enjoyable - songs in the album. Only then people would have thought of buying the soundtrack of Kaun.
