Barsaat, Shree Krishna AudioTHERE’S no fear of Nadeem Shravan fading out. The duo didn’t do too badly with the music of Bewafaa, and have brought back some mass appeal tracks in Barsaat.The opening track Barsaat Ke Din Aaye by Kumar Sanu (a favourite of the duo) and Alka Yagnik will be a sure-fire hit with Mumbai’s cabbies and autowallahs. But Abhijeet and Yagnik are completely wasted in Mushkil, which has nothing new to offer. Pyaar Aaya has an Eastern RD Burman-like feel from his 1942 A Love Story days. It’s a cloyingly sweet melody, but Sonu Nigam and Yagnik manage to pull it off. If you have Western sensibilities, you’ll dig the number featuring Alisha Chinoy and the highly underrated rapper Ishq. This is where hip hop meets the oh-so-popular bhangra beats. Don’t miss Nadeem-Shravan’s cunning rip-off of 50 Cent’s In Da Club. The next one is a dandiya special. Sapna Awasthi, burns up the folksy Chori Chori Ladi Akhiyan along with Yagnik.Skip the rest, or tune in if you’re a diehard NS fan. Lalitha Suhasini
