Badhai Ho Badhai seems to be another HAHK, DDLJ or K3G in making with a horde of characters. Promos are colorful and vibrant and make for yet another shaadi byaah mood. Best friend Satish Kaushik directs and co-produces this Kapoor production which is presented by Subhash Ghai`s Mukta Arts. Music is by Anu Maliik who had earlier composed for Satish Kaushik`s Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hai and Javed Saab write the lyrics.

None of the stars of BHB have been having a good time in recent past. Anil Kapoor`s Nayak didn`t exactly set box office on fire. Shilpa Shetty`s career graph has always been fluctuating and Keerti Reddy has two duds Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya and Pyar Ishq Aur Mohabbat behind her. Let`s pray Badhai Ho Badhai really sets celebration music for everyone concerned.

The title song by Udit Narayan is just OK. In fact it is one of those rare title songs, which are lacklustre. It narrates the ongoing proceedings in a family where a marriage is taking place but fails to hold interest. Teri Zindagi Mein Pyar Hai features thrice, once as a duet by KK and Alka Yagnik and then as solos by both and we keep wondering why is it there even once at first place. The song seems to be a sutradhaar kind that runs throughout the movie.

Raag Banke Pyar Chhaye is classical in feel and soft to ears. It is a romantic duet by Alka Yagnik and Shaan but then that`s all. It doesn`t really guarantee a blockbuster status for the music of BHB. enjoyed.

Thehro Zara - a romantic duet by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik brings a smile on the face for its being a simple `n` sweet number. Sonu Nigam gets that naughtiness of 60`s back with his Md. Rafi style of rendering. But then neutralizes this with his Dil Bata Mere Dil Bata which is similar in composition style as Ye Meri Life Hai from Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hai.

There are two typical Anu Malik fast pacy tracks Jogan Jogan and Dil Vich Vich Rukda. Preeti-Pinky had so many hit numbers in their kitty but law of averages seem to have struck them with Jogan Jogan, which is the least impressive of them all. Preeti-Pinky sound screechy rather than their naughty sensual self and fail to ignite the same fire as their earlier songs. Newcomer Kunal gives them company in this so-so number. Anuradha Sriram and Sonu Nigam sing the mandatory punjabi pop `Dil Vich Vich Rukda` which is as fresh as yesterday`s newspaper.

No badhai to Anu Maliik for this score. Movie is quoted to be a "A bouquet of melodies full of masti, mithas and mohabbat." Sad to say but there is a deficiency of all of these in the music of BHB.
