With the success of Tum Bin being highly attributed to its music, the expectations for the music of Anubhav Sinha´s next, Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai, a romantic comedy, went sky high. Thankfully, the soundtrack is up to par with expectations. The same musical team has been repeated and they have stayed away from re-hashing the music of Tum Bin, but rather, have focused on creating simple and enjoyable songs. Lightly laced with a regular T-Series jhankar backdrop, Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik sing the title track. Sameer´s lyrics for once restrain from being redundant and the effort is quite evident as the song has a number of lengthy verses which catch the attention of the listener. As with all soundtracks, the opener is the key and this opener is perfect.

Following is Sonu Nigam´s ´Kuch Bhi Na Kaha´, a melodious number. Anuradha Paudwal contributes to the song but Sonu Nigam stands out more. The song is one of the more regular numbers as are Sameer´s lyrics. The highlight of this album ´Aisi Aakhen Nahin Dekhi´ by Jagjit Singh and Asha Bhosle. ´Ishq To Jadoo´ has Alisha Chinoy singing in her inimitable style with Sonu for company. With this song, Alisha Chinoy marks her full return to Bollywood as she has been singing in soundtracks more frequently. With the focus of Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai being on a daughter´s relationship with her father, ´Baba Ki Rani Hoon´ is the mandatory daughter´s tribute/gratitude to her father. Alka Yagnik sings the song to newcomer Rajan Raj´s lyrics. The song is at best time pass.

The theme song ´Chote-The Alternate Trip´ has a techno-beat number with lyrics by Nitin Raikwar. ´Kabhi Khan Khan´ is the ´mehndi´ ceremony´ song by Udit, Alka & Shailaja. The song is melodious, with unique lyrics by Rajan Raj again. Of course, every ten song soundtrack must have a Punjabi number and ´Sajna Main Hari´ is just that. Alisha Chinoy returns with ´Dil Gaya Kam Se´, and again Nikhil-Vinay can not make due of the excellent vocals she has. The song is at best passable. The last song ´Barsaat´ has lyrics by the late Anand Bakshi, and shows why he ruled for more than three decades. 

Udit is flawless in his renditions of the emotions as he describes the first "chance encounter/glance". The song is a culmination of the soundtrack in that it has a shade of many feelings, love, laughter, sadness and emotion. Definite rewind. Like Tum Bin, Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai has a song for everyone. It provides a good balance between good music with variety, without breaking any barriers for extreme creativity. Like Tum Bin, it also introduces new talents, both film wise and music wise and the outcome is effective leaving us with several tunes to enjoy.
