Aadesh Shrivastava is one of the most underrated composers of Bollywood today. Even after giving good music in films like Angaarey, Bade Dilwala, and the Yash Chopra telefilm, Humko Ishq Ne Maara, success has continued to elude him. With this movie, he once again does his job well. A commendable effort.

Yeh Hawaaein is one of the best songs of the album Shaan does full justice here along with the seasoned Alka Yagnik. There is a very interesting play of ghungroos in the background that adds to the charm of this wonderful song. Kuch Aisa Jahan is the other gem. Some good lyrics make this worth listening to repeatedly. It is repeated on Side B.

Dil Nasheen starts off with Arabic strains, which continue throughout the song. Sung well by Sukhwinder and Shaan and very ably supported by Hema Sardesaai, not a great follow up to the first two numbers though. Chota Sa Mann Hai is like a semi qawwali with KK, Alka Yagnik and Roop Kumar Rathod doing the honours. Pretty good stuff.

Sonu Nigam is clearly in his element in Ganga Maiya. A song with very folksy and rustic music. Reminds one of "Khaike Paan Banaraswala" from Don . Kya Hua, marked by a lot of western instrumentation, is a very average number but good singing by Alka and Shaan manage to salvage it from becoming total dud. Jhoomein Yeh Zameen has Roop Kumar Rathod sounding very out of tune and completely ill at ease. He tries out a different style of singing but it falls flat. It is very surprising considering he is usually such a good singer.

The most interesting part of this album is that there is no title song. The lines "Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai" are woven into all the songs with a different tune each. Its nice to know that melody is making a comeback of sorts in Bollywood. A good buy especially for the first two numbers.
