One thing’s for sure – after
listening to the Muskaan soundtrack, you won’t end up smiling.
Not that there’s anything devastatingly wrong with the songs.
It’s only that they’re too long and too routine.
Yes,
Nikhil-Vinay show promise on some numbers, with Sameer writing
appropriate lyrics. Woh Jo Tum (Sonu Nigam-Anuradha Paudwal)
is a pleasant duet, with an alternate version by Sonu and
Shreya Ghoshal, and a sad version by Sonu.
Jis Din Teri
Meri Baatein (Udit-Anuradha) is about loneliness, and Yaad
Aayee (Adnan Sami) is nostalgic. The Punjabi tune, Nach
Panjaban Nachle (Sonu-Anuradha) seems like a faster version of
the antara of the Naseeb hit Chal Mere Bhai.
Jaaneman
Chupke Chupke (Udit Narayan-Alka Yagnik and Anuradha solo)
rambles on, and Ishq Hasata Hai (Sonu-Anuradha) is predictable
and long, with irritating choruses.
Though it’s club
friendly, Nami Danam (Shaan-Alka) isn’t catchy enough. Our
biggest complaint, of course, is the length – after 74
minutes, you’re exhausted.
