The songs are peppy, upbeat but are familiar to other tunes of the same genre.


The songs can be catchy and do have their singers (Sadhna Sargam, Mohammed Aziz and Sudesh Bhosle) singing well. There are rare chances that they may provide you with endless listening sweets but serve their purpose in the film. “ Bhangda Pale” and “ Jai Ma Kaali” are more situational tracks. Ranging from the dholak, flute, Roshan does a great job in composing a sweet love song here and of course Lata Mangeshkar is sweet and arguably the best part of the excellent song. The ‘woo my lover track’, “ Ek Munda”, uses a wide variety of instruments to provide the song with great music. This is definitely one of the nicer familial bonding songs of yesteryears.īut one shouldn’t wonder why Lata Mangeshkar has one of the best, if not the best, songs on the soundtrack. The song is also emotional, and Indeevar’s lyrics are also well written. Carrying a traditional feel to it with the flute and a tune that matched most of the eighties styled tune, Alka, Udit and Sanu singing greatly. The theme song, “ Yeh Bandhan To”, which appears twice, also succeeded pleasing a listener. Overall, the song was a great start to the soundtrack. Rajesh Roshan’s opening had the right ingredients to become a hit and the swift paced drum backdrop accompanied by the guitar serves the song well. The catchiest portion of the tune is more the renditions of the chorus as the verses do drag at portions. “Jaati Hoon Mein”, the Shah Rukh Khan - Kajol tune had the very popular Kumar Sanu-Alka Yagnik duo singing to a somewhat western tune which served the film picturization well. Either way, Rajesh Roshan was successful in this album proving his versatility as a composer in comparison to some composers who use the same inspiration in composing their tunes. The others may be as well composed but are not meant for the repeat button. A few of the songs are very melodious and call for repeating on instance. Rajesh Roshan was fully aware of this when he composed one his better soundtracks for his brother’s films.

Such typical films like Karan Arjun would more than likely call for something more of regular hit music rather than path breaking music (one shouldn’t expect masaladar films to have exquisite music).
