Ishq Mein Tere Bina (KK and Shreya Ghoshal)

The first number of the album is quite spongy and romantic laced with mellifluous rhythm to enjoy with. KK entices the souls and Shreya is as usual super sugary in her rendition. Lyrics are impressive and music is attractive.

Rating: 3.5/5

Khatti Meethi (Shreya Ghoshal)

Again Shreya Ghoshal comes behind the mike. She impresses with her vocals and the song is a treat to listen too as it is filled with good lyrics, composition and musical arrangements.

Rating: 3/5

Kuku Duku (Mohit Chauhan)

Mohit as usual displays his histrionics. The guitars and flute glide on the ears. Lyrics and music are the culprits of spoiling this track as they are not well executed.

Rating: 1.5/5

Ramba Mein Samba (Usha Uthup)

Usha attracts you with her well delivered singing otherwise it is a boring track with poor lyrics and melodies to stay with.

Rating: 1/5

Kaafir Andhere (KK)

KK loots the souls with his power-packed singing but what he alone can do when other departments of music fall flat. Yes, the song is lyrically and musically is just about okay.

Neeraj Sridhar croons the lines brilliantly and lyrics hold values. Music has been scored with ease and gusto.

Rating: 3/5

Kuku Duku (Mohit Chauhan)

Mohit this time simply disappoints with his vocals. He is unable to show his potential here with this song. Lyrics are okay and music is average.

Rating: 1/5

The duet is impressive since it is melodious. Shreya Ghoshal shows her usual class and KK loots the souls. Lyrics are impressive and music is soul-lifting.

Sonu Kakkar attracts with the vocals but the song is letdown by lyrics and music, which both are ordinary.

Music: Dharam Sandeep, Vikram Nagi and Bappa Lahiri

Lyrics: Shabbir Ahmad, Vayu and Sandip Singh

Ram Gopal Verma’s Department keeps on grabbing the bigger chunks in the media. Ramu is that filmmaker whose films, whether they turn hits or flop badly, capture the attention a lot in the media and among the masses. His subjects of the movies mostly revolve around the underworld and if not underworld then around horror stuff. There were times when Ram Gopal Verma’s movies considered being the success even prior to the release and most of the time, they used to be superhits. Well, it was the time of 90s and early 2000. But for last few years, Ramu has not been enjoying that worth which he used to have. Reason – many of his flicks are getting bombed at the box office. But in between, he gave many hits like Sarkar series, etc. Ramu’s latest upcoming is Department and this too goes on the lines of underworld. Since it carries the big star cast ranging from Amitabh Bachchan to Sanjay Dutt and Rana Daggubati.

The item number ‘Dan Dan’ picturised on Nathalia Kaur has been well in news. Sanjay’s Dutt’s tribute to Amitabh ‘Thori Si Jo Pi le Hai’ and other songs have been making waves in news. The music of the film has been launched. Let’s check out the album.

Dan Dan Cheeni - Shoot Mix (Paroma, Ravi and Sandeep Patil)

Rating: 4/5

Kammo  (Mika Singh and Sudesh Bhosle)

Kammo is the one that too has its place among the listeners and it can turn a popular one like Dan Dan. Mika allures with his usual style and so does Sudesh. Lyrics are fine and music is well-orchestrated.

Rating: 3.5/5

Ek Do Teen Chaar (Theme of Department) – Sandeep Patil

The theme song of Sandeep Patil is laced with rock influences. The focus pours on variety of the beats more than the vocals. It is okay.

Rating: 1/5

Bad Boys (Ritu Pathak and Earl)

The song opens up with the sounds of helicopter and sirens followed by the explosions and gun shots. The voice of Ritu attracts. Good piece to listen to.

Rating: 3/5

Mumbai Police (Sanjay Dutt and Farhad Bhiwandiwala)

This one is a fully tapori song like Ramu’s previous ones – Ganpat, Kallo Mama and Khallas. Farhad sings well and Sanjay Dutt’s trademark tapori voice over injects true life and pleasures. Lyrics are classy and music is a treat.

Rating: 4/5

Apart from the above songs on the album, a specially added song ‘Thodi Si Jo Pi Li Hai’ too has been added for the promotional works of the movie.

Chaahat (Singer: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan)

The album begins with the internationally renowned Sufi singer and Bollywood playeback singer of Pakistan Rahat Fateh Ali Khan who sings Chaahat.

Rating: 4/5

Gunaah (Singer: Mustafa Zahid)

Clinton does a fine job with singing. But the song lacks somewhere in lyrics and music which are not as great as they should have been.

The unplugged version of Gunaah is average. You can give it a listen for only once.

Rating: 3.5/5

Anarkali Disco Chali (Singers: Mamta Sharma and Sukhwinder Singh)

The item number ‘Anarkali Disco Chali’ has been making waves on the channels and among the listeners. The song is a true soul enticer and foot tapping.

Lyrics are good and music is boisterous.

Rating: 3.5/5

Anarkali Disco Chali (Singers: Mamta Sharma and Sukhwinder Singh) – Hyper Mix

The Hyper Mix is not appealing and you want to skip it.

Rating: 1/5

Anarkali Disco Chali (Singers: Mamta Sharma and Sukhwinder Singh) – Remix

The Remix version is a big ‘No’ for ears. The remix penetrated into the song is lackluster.

Rating: 1/5

Right Now Now (Singers: Wajid, Sunidhi Chauhan and Suzzane)

This track is on the lines of Oh Girl You Are Mine. It is appealing but goes average with the ears. The singers do well. The lyrics are good but the music is just about okay.

Right Now Now (Singers: Wajid, Sunidhi Chauhan and Suzzane) –Remix

The remix version does not appeal to the ears as it has not been rightly composed.

Rating: 1/5

Let’s check it out whether he succeeds in this task or not.

London Paris New York (Singers: Ali Zafar and Sunidhi Chauhan)

The album starts with the title song that is sung by Ali Zafar and Sunidhi Chauhan. An electrifying song, it really injects the soothing pleasures into the souls. Both entice with the vocals. Lyrics and music are well maintained.

Rating: 4/5

Voh Dekhnay Mein (Singer: Ali Zafar)

Ali Zafar tries to be Kishore Kumar in this song. He is utterly impressed by the legendary singer and always copies his style of singing. In this number, he brings the magic of Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si but fails to generate the oomph. Lyrics are ordinary. Music is okay.

Rating: 1/5

Ting Rang (Singer: Ali Zafar)

A Punjabi number then comes up on the album cover sung by Ali Zafar, who sings all the male versions in the album. He renders the lines beautifully. Lyrics are good. Music goes well also. When you hear the song, it appears as if you have heard this kind of song before.

Rating: 2.5/5

 

Thehree Si Zindagi (Singers: Ali Zafar and Aditi Rao Hydari)

Ali sings it with finesse and Aditi loots the hearts with her rendition. Her vocals are as pretty as she herself is. Lyrics and music both are stupendous.

Rating: 4/5

Oo Lala (Singers: Sanam Marvi, Hadiqa Kiyani and Ali Zafar)

In this song, Ali Zafar gives room to two other Pakistani singers – Sanam Marvi and Hadiq Kiyani. Sanam impresses with the classical portion of the song. Hadiqa ia good. Ali sings well. Rap portion is electrifying. All seems good but the song loses values due to the heavy noise that is too bad.

Rating: 1/5

Aaja (Singer: Ali Zafar)

Ali Zafar ruins the pleasures with his badly delivered singing. Lyrics and music both are pretty bad also.

Rating: 1/5

Voh Dekhnay Mein (Singer: Aditi Rao Hydari)

The female version attracts the souls. Aditi sings it with class.

Rating: 3.5/5

Rating: 3.5/5

Piya Tu Kahein Rutha Re (Singer: Javed Bashir)

Tore Bina (Singer: Sukhwinder Singh)

Sukhwinder renders the song with super ease. The lyrics of the song are appealing but the music disappoints and makes the song drastic and unpleasurable.
