| Risk - For a select audience |
 When you listen to the Risk album, one thought immediately comes to mind, that it’s not your usual film albums. For except for Hitchki there’s not a single number that caters to the masses. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a listenership. Lakhon Karodon Mein, Risk Theme and Kali Sadke shall surely impress a certain set of people who like the Doors kind of music.

 King of remixes is back. And when he talks, everyone shuts up and dances! He is none other than Biddu, a veteran in the world of pop and remixes.

Let's play on to see if the promise is true indeed.

| Mujhse Shaadi Karogi - One of Bollywood's worst |
 The audience may be jumping with excitement to see who gets Priyanka Chopra in this laugh triangle. But neither of her two suitors - Akshay Kumar or Salman Khan - have nice songs to sing in "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi".

| Rakht - Music is like wild night at disco |
 The inspiration for this album seems to be Sanjay Gupta's "Kaante". The same steamy, smouldering vocals underpinned by tunes that salute the spirit of unstoppable ebullience, the same night-club ambience and feeling of seductive energy oozing out of beats that borrow heavily from international charts.

| Asambhav - Music racy but low on tunes |
 Sameer has set the lyrics for the tracks composed by an ardent Rajiv Rai loyalist Viju Shah for this film.

| Kyun Ho Gaya Na - Creates new sounds, haunting music |
 It's astonishing what wonderful work they do with first-time directors: Farhan Akhtar's "Dil Chahta Hai", Honey Irani's "Armaan", Rohan Sippy's "Kuch Na Kaho", Nikhil Advani's "Kal Ho Na Ho..." and now debutant Samir Karnik's "Kyun! Ho Gaya Na", which has the cleanest and most captivating line-up of melody and rhythm in recent months.

| Uuf Kya Jadoo Mohabbat Hai - 'Uuf Kya...' music endearing but not memorable |
|
Anu Malik gave a peppy and young score for the Rajshri's last film "Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon". And now, the upcoming Sandesh Shandilya has done a mildly engaging young score that doesn't really cross the line between serviceable and stunning.

| Murder - Murder |
|
All of Anu Malik's soundtracks may not be classics. But if you've heard what he composed for the mighty J.P. Dutta in "LOC", and more recently for Pooja Bhatt in "Paap" then you know what he is capable of.

| Hum Tum - Hum Tum |
|
The melodious numbers in "Hum Tum" set off the film's romantic-comedy mood as the bantering songs on gender equations bring a certain freshness to the entire album.

| Hawas - 'Hawas' soundtrack is vapid |
|
"Hawas" isn't likely to take Daboo Malik anywhere near his composer-elder brother Anu Malik's orbit of success.

| Deewaar - Enchanting music for macho movie 'Deewaar' |
|
Though this album takes time to grow on you, it's ultimately a very satisfying experience, far more so than the 1970s' "Deewaar", which also starred Bachchan. It contained one of R.D. Burman's weakest scores ever.

| Lakshya - 'Lakshya' music has daringly unusual sound |
|
Not everything that the triumphant trio of Shankar, Ehsan and Loy did in 2003 was successful. But everything from the flop "Armaan" to the hit "Kal Ho Na Ho" was worthy of a second and third hearing
