The album, for starts, has great expectations. First and foremost, Pritam, who is the music director of Kismet Konnection, seems to be on a roll this year. After super hit albums like Race and Jannat, it seems that he might prove his superb caliber with this new project. The tracks of his previous albums such as “Pehli Nazar Mein” and “Jannat”, ”Lambi Judayi” are still being played on scratched disks all over the country, and most of the radio stations don’t seem to tire of them!

The title track goes by “Aai Paapi” which has Kismet Konnection peppered throughout, sets the groove of the album. The lyrics are a decent blend of English and Hindi to give it a contemporary tone,

However, the remix version of this track is much more pumping and will be a sure fire chartbuster. Shahid’s dance will definitely heat up local dance floors much like “Mauja hi Mauja”.

“Bakhuda Tumhi” is a unique track with musical influences of Pritam and Atif Aslam. Both merge nicely and coupled with Alka Yanik’s soothing voice, the result is indeed excellent. Aslam’s voice does wonders to Ahmed’s lyrics.
Another groovy number is “move your body now” which sees Shaan and Akruti Kakkar teaming up to give a totally hip, and retro track perfect for moving your body! The high tempo combines Western and Punjabi music in the right proportions without going overboard.

“Is This Love (Kahin Na Laage)” is another blended track written by Sayeed. Mohit Suri and Shreya Ghosal perform to this serene track and do total justice. After, “Tum se Hi” from Jab We Met, Suri might give another hit with Pritam again.
Overall, the music of kismet Konnection might do well on the charts if it received a decent push from the movie itself.
