While one may have insisted ´Yeh Dil´ is another hit soundtrack from the Nadeem-Shravan, everything obvious begs to differ. Though lyrically apt , the title track, "Yeh Dil" has most of the slow romance tunes that Nadeem has used before. Nadeem´s voice is tolerable for the most part but is very lackluster. Kavita Krishnamurthy and Abhijeet as talented as they are, are forced to demotion to sing the bakwaas lyrics and music of "Aye, Kya Ladki Aayen, College Mein...". The song be the first of songs with "college" in it, the music is boringly used over and over again and tried to make peppy with again, little success.

Nadeem always must have some derivation of a qawaali in his soundtracks hence we are forced to it in "Kyon Dil Ke Bichde" a slow somewhat religious sad song sung by Taushif Akhtar. "Tera Dilbar" is no more than a derivation of "Dilbar Dilbar" from Sirf Tum, again coming to no surprise judging the credits behind the track. Alka and Sonu Nigam are horribly inaudible, even with it being the second listenable song on the soundtrack. As usual, the song is repeated on the soundtrack.

"Telephone" is a song which praises the invention claiming that it has made the lives of its hero and heroine. The song is akin to some of the C- grade music that Anand Raj Anand has composed for his equally C- grade films like Annarth, Maseeha etc. Of course Alka Yagnik who has been quite relegated to poor songs the past year, and Abhijeet are forced to sound like they are interested in the song.

"Ek Main Ek Tu" is again boring, reminiscent of the title track, it is sung by Abhijeet and Nirja Pandit. Nirja is no different and nor is the song any more interesting. Abhijeet was known to be arrogant and hesitant to sing songs for specific composers. His collaboration with Nadeem obviously remaining intact he should realize the quality of tunes being churned out. Very negative! "College Mein" is a typical masti hero number sung by Sonu Nigam. Nothing much likeable about it as it is dosed with typical orchestration.

It´s hard not to be fumigated by the marketing strategy behind this film. Tips have again used the Raaz tag line of "A magical score by N-S". And while Raaz was no magic it is leagues ahead of Yeh Dil. And why is it so necessary to place the pictures of the maestros and the redundant lyricist. Perhaps its due to Tushar´s lack of popularity but promoting N-S won´t help them and not this film either. Nadeem-Shravan may have found success thanks to their long list of avid supporters. It´s more than obvious that this list is getting shorter by the day or rather, by the release of each of these new inane soundtracks.
