His duet with Lata Mangeshkar, Tujhe Dekha, however, happens to be one of the top songs of the soundtrack. Given his recent success rate (the man won a record fifth consecutive Filmfare this year) and the fact that the previous two SRK-Jatin Lalit movies have had him on most songs, it is surprising that Kumar Sanu sings just one song in this movie. The tune is heard-before, the arrangement is uninspiring for most part and the singing by Manpreet Kaur and Pamela Chopra isn’t exactly top-drawer either.

In this case the age aspect is rather evident in the singer’s voice, though it is largely mitigated by the other singers (especially the chorus) and the general folk-based liveliness of the composition.

The soundtrack starts off with Lata Mangeshkar’s Mere Khwaabon Mein, even at the age of 65 presenting a convincingly spirited rendition of a teenage girl’s fantasies.
