When the credits read Ravi Chopra as the producer whose last two films Baghban and Baabul were musical delights, and Vishal, Shekhar, Javed Akhtar joining the proceedings of Bhoothnath, one definitely looks forward to the music of the film. However taking a look at the music one discovers that the music falls short to deliver the required, and definitely won’t be counted as a great musical extravaganza. 

'Mere Buddy' is the promotional track of the film, but it doesn’t rise above expectation. The music arrangement for the song looks chic and cool, however it fails to demand repeat value. Amitabh Bachchan and child singer Arman Mallik are at the helm of affairs. But still the number can be merely judged as an average composition.

For this film made for the interest of kids primarily, with a kid as the main protagonist with Bhoothnath as a friendly ghost, there is going to be ample kid stuff in this soundtrack. Four kids Koushtuv Ghosh, Aparna Bhagwat, Sharavan Suresh and Sneha Suresh come together for the next song 'Hum To Hain Aandhi’ that definitely sounds better than the first outing.
 
A catchy number comes next with 'Banku Bhaiya '. It’s a high charged song in the voice of Sukhwinder Singh. The folkish flavour is the unique aspect of the track, sounding entertaining and nice at the same time. After the hip hop tracks so far, this does bring in some ‘desi’ relief.

Modernistic composers Vishal-Shekhar known for their upswinging numbers go for a complete toss with 'Samay Ka Pahiya ', with the music sounding from ancient era. The song pulls the album further downward. The outdated musical style serves little interest to the listeners and drowns the curiosity as to what would follow onscreen. Hariharan takes the lead while Amitabh Bachchan offers a line or two for this situational track narrating the lone life of Bhoothnath. Any takers?

'Chalo Jaane Do ' is another follower of the outdated style of composition coming from Vishal-Shekhar. The duo seems to be borrowing from Laxmikant-Pyaarelal style of music for this track. It’s a slow paced track with Amitabh Bachahan and Juhi Chawla at the helm. The lyrics are concentrated on Bhoothnath trying to pep up the kids mood with invigorating words.

At the end of the soundtrack, Salim-Sulaiman's theme piece of Bhoothnath appears. Staying true to the theme of the film, the haunting tune of two minutes does create an impact. Probably this would make up as the background score in the film.

The soundtrack of  ‘Bhoothnath’ is a complete downer for the reason that even after repeated hearing the songs hardly grow up on you. For an album with such names associated, one expects to see quality stuff, which sadly is not the case here.
