Composers: Sachin-Jigar,Krsna,Sachin Gupta

Lyrics: Rajshekhar,Neelesh Misra

***

The album starts on a breezy note with c,the album’s centrepiece that is already the most popular song,mainly owing to Mohit Chauhan’s vocals. Rashid Khan’s vocals resonate with the dark clouds hovering around the ghats of Benaras in Jheeni re Jheeni,that works simply for its pleasant semi-classical flourishes. Indian Ocean frontman Rahul Ram brings his signature fervour in Bhole Chale,about innuendos of the revered cannabis plant of Bholenath. Ram’s vocals are curiously off-key and the composition sounds too flat to leave any mark. Ankur Tiwary supplies his livewire vocals to Aag Ka Dariya. It has a catchy hook line but the rest of the composition has little to offer. Issaq isn’t ambitious and imaginative in the way Raanjhanaa captured the Benerasi flavours in its music,but it is pleasantly surprising in parts.
