Jab we meet : Music review

Pritam returns with another soundtrack, a youthful movie starring real life couple Shahid Kapoor and Kareena.

The song Mauja Mauja is already playing on the music channels, with Kareena looking ravishing in a black outfit( after a long time) having lots of weight. Apparently its due to a vegetarian diet suggested by Shahid. Labh Jajua who hit the limelight with "Phas gaya pyar karke" in Pyaar ke side effects does complete justice to this song.

The other good track is Nagada Nagada sung soulfully by Sonu Nigam but the over bhangra orchestrization and chorus makes it quite ordinary at the end after the second hearing.

There is a very Pritam sounding track which could have been part of any Emran Smoochme movie called "Tum Se Hi". And the remix version as usual is better.

There are attempts like Aaoge Jab Tum for the mandatory judai song but they are neither distinctive nor melodious.

The best song is of course "Yeh Ishq Hai" although the beats sound flicked from somewhere. But its a easy listen with Shreya Ghosal singing in a more sexier voice than normal. Of course the picturization on Kareena will aid this song further.

Overall, a slightly above average album that goes well with the movie story and cast.
