Mohabbat Naam Hai Kiskais a kind of a `safe -bet` . Rope in experienced singers Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, rehash a million tunes composed earlier, add in funky beats and you have a hit number ready. Naughty Kareena adds in to the spice imitating elder sis Karisma`s mannerisms (and even her wardrobe) in the number.

Good news for Adnan`s fans as after `Kabhie To Nazar Milao`, his first ever song for a hindi movie hits the stands. In Mehbooba Mehbooba he touhes the same notes as Lift Kara De. It seems to be a last bit inclusion to cash on to Adnan`s popularity and is slated to be a definite chatbuster. Sundihi Chauhan gives ample support. Also there is a choice to be made between the original and the E-Mix groove of the same by DJ Khalif.

It`s doubtful that Kasam Se Teri Aankhen may be lapped up with both hands. It may appeal only to the teenagers hopping in the discs but not the average cinegoer. In fact the feel of the whole song somewhat resembles Anu Malik`s earlier composition `Hum dono hai alag alag - Hum dono hai juda juda` from Main Khiladi Tu Anari.

Lyricist Sameer is a winner in Meri Zindagi Mein Ajnabee. Sundihi Chauhan vocals have matured of late and that shows in this song. Sanu is routine.

Kaun Main Haan Tum has a kind of sensuality woven around it and is hummable. Along with Udit and Alka Yagnik, the lead actors Akshay, Bobby, Kareena and debutant Bipasha too lend their vocals (although it is limited to just 4 words....`kaun main..haan tum`)

Sanu sounds terribly tired and uninspired in as-stale-as-yesterday`s-newspaper Jab Tumhe Aashique Maloom. Come on now, give us a break. Sanu and Anu Malik have given us better ones like `Baazigar-o-Baazigar`, `Chura Ke Dil Mera`, `Dil Mein Sanam Ki Soorat` before. Situational Mujhko Neend Aa Rahi Hai may apear good on screen but audio wise its` a definite no-no.

Dance Music is no great shakes. There is a cry of Welcome to new millenium in the track but it comes a bit late as the entire universe has already celebrated it in year 2000 itself. May be the composition was done last year when the millenium songs were in full swing (One by Leslie Lewis in Amir Khan starrer Mela - `Dekho 2000 Zamana Aa Gaya`)

In nutshell, Adnan`s Mehbooba is the sole track that lingers long after the album is over.
