If there was one word to describe the star power of Hum Kisise Kam Nahin (HKKN), it would be Lethal. Big B, Sanju Baba, Ajay Devgan and Ash in one frame - could a silver screen look better than this. Sanjay Dutt is back in his Vaastav getup as Munnabhai and the celluloid romance of Ajay Devgan and Ash are revisited after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam which was diagrammatically opposite to laugh riot HKKN. After playing Ash`s father in Mohabbatein, Amitabh enacts the role of her brother in this flick.

Music by Anu Maliik is very much in Laxmikant Pyarelal mode - especially `Dulhe Raja`, `O Sapno Ke Saudagar` and `Mein Sohni Tu Mahiwal`. Do you know who is the voice behind Amitabh in the track `Ye Kya Ho Raha Hai`? Your first choice would be Sudesh Bhonsle or Amitabh himself. But believe it or faint, it is Anu Maliik !! He does a good job although getting a bit overboard sometimes with the `bhaiiii` and `haiiien` act. The number is about Amitabh stopping the two love birds from enjoying themselves. A fun song by Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam that may not last for centuries to come but is entertaining nevertheless.

When there is Munnabhai then there are bound to be some tapori numbers. The two that go here are `Kya Kehna Mere Sher Ka` and `Munna Mobile`. It must have required a real convincing to Anand Bakshi sahab for writing lyrics like `watt lag jaaye meri, khaat lag jaaye meri` or `munna mobile, pappu pager, raju dhakkan, hanif hatele`. Amongst the two numbers, `Munna Mobile` (Sonu Nigam and Anu Maliik) is marginally better than Udit Narayan and Vinod Rathod rendered `Kya Kehna Mere Sher Ka`, but this is the maximum that can be said about these.

`Dulhe Raja` from start-to-finish is Laxmikant Pyarelal revisited. It features once as a solo by Udit Narayan and then Alka Yagnik accompanies him in the duet. One will really find more of this number being played in this shaadi byaah season. A good number and the best among the lot. Instrumental-Music Part seems to be just following the trend of having a musical piece in every album, and so it is here. Nothing great about it.

Love song `O Sapno Ke Saudagar` is the second best number by Anuradha Paudwal and Sonu Nigam and is lively. Again, not a number which may be having immense staying power. An above average number. `Mein Sohni Tu Mahiwal` is again situational and is just average only. Anuradha Paudwal, Sonu Nigam and Vinod Rathod try to elevate the song by infusing life in it but just about manage to do that.

Overall HKKN is disappointing with just `Dulhe Raja`, `O Sapno Ke Saudagar` and `Ye Kya Ho Raha Hai` being somewhat average. Thank goodness that HKKN has a solo composer and lyricist. It makes the job of a reviewer much much easy !!!
