Kambakkht Ishq
Music Composer: Anu Malik
Lyrics: Anvita Dutt Guptan
Singers: RDB, Neeraj Sridhar, Alisha Chinoy, Shreya Goshal, Shaan, KK, Sunidhi Chauhan, Anushka Manchandani
Om Mangalam, the most advertised song in the movie is definitely the BEST!!! Sorry Anu Malik, but the one song you DIDN’T compose, is the best! RDB – Rhythm, Dhol, Bass are known for their song Rafta Rafta from Namastey London, and others. The melody of the song is absolutely brilliant! The mix of background english and “Mangalam” chants is completely original and sounds a fresh melange! A special mention should go to the female singer, Nindy Kaur. She’s a new member of the band who will has joined them as they release their new album! Nindy has sung the track extremely well, and really sounds hip and happening. GO RDB!

Lakh Lakh, sung by Neeraj Sridhar, is a decent track on the album. It brings out a lot of dance beats. But the rap and punjabi mix is really getting old! There are way too many songs in that genre already! Though Neeraj Sridhar has sung the track well, the song is nothing great, even when it comes to lyrics. Also, the sounds are hardly authentic sounding. It sounds like a complete studio track with techno background music and hardly any real instruments used.
Bebo by Alisha Chinoy is a nice listen. Alisha is a brilliant choice for a song like this, and the feel of the song comes out beautifully with her singing. Not too bad, the song.
Kyun, by Shaan and Shreya Goshal is a lovely track. Needless to say, these two are truly amazing singers. Shreya Goshal seems to get better and better by the day! The song’s lyrics are also beautifully written. A definite thumbs’ up for this track! Way to go, Shaan and Shreya!
Kambakkht Ishq is by far the worst track I’ve heard in 2009. Pathetic melody, bland music. Not even KK and Sunidhi Chauhan could save this track. I was bored halfway through the track.
Welcome to Hollywood is a modern track on the album, and is completely in english. It has been sung very well by Anushka Manchandani, and she continues to provide a bright future for Bollywood western mixes!
Overall, though the songs on the track are quite alright, the remixes are just a repeat of the song with a higher tempo, or a few extra beats. One starts to question the need for these remixes on the album anyway! Increasing the number of songs on the track isn’t going to sell more albums!
