The next step for a film craftsman is always direction. Time and again we’ve seen writers, cinematographers, critics turning their steps towards direction. The latest in buzz is Girish Dhamija, the dialogue writer with the Bhatts.  He dons this hat for the first time with Yakeen starring Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra. The Asambhav pair re enters with this romantic thriller essaying the role of husband and wife and their relationship, which is on the brink of drowning. Sujit Kumar Singh produces the film under Shreya Creations banner. The story and the screenplay are executed by Vikram Bhatt. Himesh Reshammiya and Sameer do the music.

The album takes off with ‘Tune Mujhko Deewana Kiya’ featuring the ever dependable Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. They passes muster, as this romantic melody number is nothing new to them. The song may not find a place in the charts but Udit and Alka lift it into the good category. The song is honey dipped and Sameer’s word laces it gently. Though there is nothing remarkable in the song, yet the fluid melody takes over you.

Another subsequent duet is ‘Meri Aankhon Mein’ with some yodeling by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik again. The tune looks a bit strenuous and so the singers don’t seem to be in their best spirit. The number appears to be heard ample times before. It’s a harmless passé. The ‘Instrumental’ of the track doesn’t offer much at hand too.

‘Tu Hi’ the third song in a row appeals being a light frothy romantic number. The song is apparent to many Bhatt films. Though it’s a sound alike, the song passes with sheer comfort in the voices of Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. The rhythm and melody has harmony though its falls short again for being a chartbuster.

Throwing some glimpse on the film is ‘Bhoolna Nahi’. This is a situational song but the voice of Shaan doesn’t justify the track. The shivering tone of his vocals that may well validate the film, doesn’t work out well in the audio. The song sounds bland without any respite. This also happens to be the title track. There is a second version of the same track by Sunidhi Chauhan that goes unnoticed too.  Not again, but it appears again for the third time Shaan singing the song of an estranged lover accusing his beloved for heartbreaking.

By now its already yawning time and ‘Chehra Tera Jab Jab Dekhoon’ acts as a lullaby calling sleep. Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik sleepwalk through the song. Can’t blame if the song appears such lackluster and in poor form. Please give us a break from hearing the same stuff again, and again.

A state of relief dawns you as the audio come to a halt. Himesh Reshammiya falters in giving composition that can lay the base of the film. The tracks have Nadeem-Shravan stamp all over it and there is not a single song to hold on to. Only a few tunes manage to float on air. Positioning itself between average to above average score, the album is not worth an ovation.
