A few years back, Kachhe Dhaage directed by Milan Luthria starring Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan was released which fell in the `Road movie` genre. But it still it had it`s fair dose of bollywood masalas. But Rajat Mukherjee directed Road seems to be an altogether refreshing way of film-making which if successful may be path-breaking in many ways.

Album begins with `Makhmali Ye Badan Ki` which re-livens the mood of `Sooraj Hua Madhdham` - the difference being that while the latter was both romantic, the former is sensual. A bedroom song, though it has camera rolling all over, it restricts from being vulgar and stays in it`s domain. Antara delivers enough oomph for the song to be a highlight of the movie and Vivek Oberoi in his half shave is charming. Tough to believe that he is the same guy who played a tough Chandu with so much conviction in Company. Sonu Nigam and Sanjeevani sing in a naughty mood and lyrics by Khilesh Sharma are thankfully diferent from the routine `Dil, Ishq and Pyaar` and inspite of this the message is conveyed.

`Raste Raste` is en experimental song written by Jaideep Sahni which is a fierce song and the way it is choreographed gives and altogether different dimension to romance!!! The lead players seem to be more in mood of killing each other rather than loving and is a number worth a `dekko`. It is hard to believe that the male singer is Vinod Rathod and this can be termed as one of the best ever voice modulations by him. Sunidhi Chauhan is tailor made for this number and this is for sure that no one can else could have done justice to this `powerhouse` number. Nitin Raikwar writes and composes `Toofan Sa` which is sung by KK and Sunidhi Chauhan which is again a hard hitting love song - more poppish rather than melodious in approach.

A definite crowd puller is `Khullam Khulla Pyaar Kare', which is again sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and has Sonu Nigam in company this time. The model in this number is a RGV discovery and is a heart stopper. This dusly girl gyrates with choreographer Ganesh Acharya who has earlier also made guest appearances in `Koi Jaaye To Le Aaye` with Mamta Kulkarni in Ghatak and in `Bekaraar Dil Bekaraar` with Govinda in Hadh Kar Di Aapne. In Khullam Khulla he makes a full length appearance and it is interesting to see the way he carries himself so well in the number. A mast number, this is going to pull crowds by hundreds and has a potential to make its way to the top.

Makrand Deshpande who has played number of character roles in past like in Satya, Snip, Jungle amongst others writes a song, probably for the first time for a hindi movie as `Pehli Nazar Mein`. Mohit Chauhan and Sunidhi Chauhan sing this number which seems to be picturized on Manoj Bajpayee and Antra Mali. In a first few hearings, it seems to be a STRANGE song for the reason being that you tend to get a bit uneasy while hearing to this one. It haunts, it scares and doesn`t make you feel comfortable. You can`t figure out whether the girl is in love with a person or just scared and is loving by force rather than choice. A song to be watched out - just for the curiosity of this.

Amar Mohile composes and sings for `Road Rage` with Tannishtha in company that continues in the same vein as the rest of the songs - i.e. intense, powerful, fearful, violent. Sound of a Safari screeching, braking, running fast takes you to the road and this is what one is really waiting for. Tabbish Romani writes for jazzy `Road Ke Har Mod Pe` which is sung in a firang style by Gary Lawyer and Tannishtha. A haunting number again, it is purely situational and audio wise is a weak link in the album. Not a great number audio wise.Fierce, Powerful, Violent - a rage - this is how one can sum up the score of Road - an altogether different genre of movies that has not been attempted too many times before in hindi movie scenario.
