It's a pleasantly syrupy ballad with some master strokes of wording by lyricist Prasoon Joshi, who does a commendable job of lending a lyrical freshness to the entire album.īut even the title song isn't half the melody that Laxmikant-Pyarelal created for Yash Chopra's "Daag" 30 years ago. Both Alka Yagnik and Babul Supriyo give their best shot to the title track. The faintly appealing soundtrack of Hum Tum has one melody that we can hold close to our heart. Hence, when the album concludes with the catchy but vacuous "U 'n' I" by Rishi Rich, you know you've come a long way from Yash Chopra's illustrious melodies in "Daag", "Kabhi Kabhie" and "Chandni". But here the ear is strictly to the ground reality of the youth market.
This just goes to show that the entire musical packaging of a film from the Yash Chopra house of entertainment is a pooled passion. Unfortunately, her solo "Gore gore" that is propped up by an unbilled chorus line, and duet "Yaara yaara" with Udit Narayan are little more than contagious knick-knacks, special neither in their composition nor arrangement.Ī lot of pace in the film reminds us of the music of Yash Chopra's "Dil To Pagal Hai", not to mention two recent Yash Chopra productions - "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai" and Kunal Kohli's directorial undertaking "Mujhse Dosti Karoge". The most interesting interludes in "Ladki kyon" are provided by the film's lead pair Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan who, unbilled in the credit details, carry on an amusing gender war in the track.Īlka Yagnik, whose claim to the youthful renderings is fast being overtaken by Shreya Ghosal and Sunidhi Chauhan, dominates the album. Burman's old Lata Mangeshkar-Kishore Kumar ballad "Koi ladki mujhe kal raat sapne mein mili" from "Seeta Aur Geeta", the track shows you can't take Jatin-Lalit too far away from their source of inspiration. "Ladki kyon" is a mildly enjoyable song of bonding. Shaan and Alka Yagnik have a gala time lending their full-throat to songs about one-upmanship between the sexes. But this Yashraj Films venture now has a place in the sun for them.

The songs, played in a subdued octave to great effect, are also bound to see the Jatin-Lalit duo's career springing back from a series of setbacks.Īfter "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" the music directors had been ousted from Karan Johar's camp. The melodious numbers in "Hum Tum" set off the film's romantic-comedy mood as the bantering songs on gender equations bring a certain freshness to the entire album.
