After Sarfarosh, Jatin-Lalit scores music for this relatively low budget, run-of-the-mill love story.  The music reflects exactly that.  Though the music isn't bad in any way, its just slightly above average.

The first song starts out softly and gets a bit faster.  "Yeh Dil Deewana Hai" turns out to be the third best number of the album.  Its sung by Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal, who sound as run of the mill as the movie.  All in all, this song is just a little bit better than average.

The second song is the best of the album.  "Yeh Silsila Hai Pyar Ka" is sung by Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu, though it is dominated and mostly sung by Alka.  Alka is tremendous-- she should be nominated for an award or two for this song.  Sanu is okay in the one paragraph he sings.  The music is along the lines of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, DDLJ, etc...--it has a typical J-L flavor, though it has some new touches here and there.  It also comes with intrumental and sad versions which are worth a listen also, though the sad version is only twenty-five seconds.

The only other song worth mentioning in the album is "Suno Suno Ladkiyon", sung by Amit Kumar.  Its a nice void from the normal...  Amit isn't as wild as he can get in such songs and sounds excellent.  His voice isn't as impressive and dominant as it once was, but its a nice change from the Udits and Sanus every once in a while.

Overall, this album is only a little bit better than average, though it has its highlights.  "Yeh Silsila Pyar Ka" should climb up the charts quickly, the song is really beautiful.
