Filhaal- Asha Bhonsle
The title song starts off with a superb piano intro. Asha Bhonsle croons softly to her vocal best. The lyrics are deep. The tune is average but the instrumentation & orchestration is really good. Good song.

Le Chale Doliyon- Roop Kumar Rathod, Anuradha Paudwal
Anu Malik starts the song with a weird mix of Indian classical and Scottish music. A slow song that is worth listening to because of its sweet tune and nice lyric.

Sola Singaar- Jaspinder Narula, Palash Sen
The tune is very typical. The instrumentation is nice to listen to. The chorus is very western, and is typical of Anu Malik, remember Rabba Rabba from Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai? Special mention for the style of flute and obo (ala Sandeep Chowta). Average

Kyon Baar Baar- Chitra
is an absolute delight to listen to in this song. Like the other tracks in this album, this too is a slow sweet number.

Naya Naya- K.K., Chitra
The track gets a melodious intro but the tune is boring. The singers are good. Average.

Dil Ke Samnate- Palash Sen
Euphoria's Palash Sen sings this solo. For some reason Palash's and K.K.'s singing styles are very similar. The song is too slow but the lyric is terrific. Average.

Waqt Ka Saaya- Sonu Nigam, Jaspinder Narula
This song sounds strikingly similar to the Na Leke Jaao song from Fiza. Not only that, the song is just too boring. Skip it.

Kitne Door Kitne Paas- Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurthy
The song starts on a promising note and becomes an average number. Kavita Krishnamurthy's voice is too high pitched for this song. Udit Narayan is O.K. The Background music sounds like it is part of a 'typical' Bollywood song. Average.

Ji Jeend Jaan Jawani Janam- Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik
Folks, listening to this song, I wonder if this song is from an album of the infamous Mann's from the west (i.e. Harbhajan Mann, Gursewak Mann). The song is more Punjabi but Hindi but even the Punjabi lyrics are worse than mediocrity. Bad, bad, bad!

Humko Mohabbat Dhoond Rahi Thi- Roop Kumar Rathod, Jayshree Shivram
With this song, Sajjeev -Darshan are slowly joining the ranks of Anand- Milind and Dilip Sen- Sameer Sen. The ranks of boring and repetitive. Mehul Kumar never had good music in his movies anyway (remember the awful Kohram?). Rulati Hai Mohabbatein- K.K. (Lyrics: Anwar Sagar)
The tune is ok while the techno beat makes this song worth a couple of listen to it's. Anwar Sagar's lyrics aren't anything exceptional. K.K's rendition is simply superb. This song sounds like an Indo-pop song. Above average song.

Diwana Dil Hai Mera- Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan (Lyrics: Abbas)
The song starts off average and it ends average. The Arabic touch given to this song is getting repetitive of the Sanjeev- Darshan duo. They had songs similar to it in Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai and Mann. Average.

Yaar Mai India Chala- Sonu Nigam, Mohd. Aziz
The intro sounds sweet. The song is melodious. Good Song.

Grace your ears with the nightingale's voice, Lata Mangeshkar as she up with the title track for the film, "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham".

Next follows, "Bole Chudiyan" and it is catchy but you can't help but notice the similarity in the lyrics written by Sameer to those of Bally Jagpal's "Aaja Soneya" sung by Shazia Mansoor. What happen to creativity, there is more improvisation if you ask me. Sandesh Shandilya is the next music director after Jatin and Lalit and he does a funkier tune compared to his somber tune of the Indian pop album "Piya Basanti". This time it is "You are my Soniya" and it clearly is a song where Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor's puppy love develops, with the sultry voice of Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik.

Sandesh is back with a truly exceptional romantic song, "Suraj Hua Madham". It has been well written by Anil Pandey and the mood set by the song is touching. Also make sure you don't miss out on the "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" bit in the song, which brings you fond memories of Shahrukh and Kajol's fiery love on screen, now sounding mature in this song. Exclusive bit here also is that this song has been shot in Egypt near the Pyramids of Giza so it should look fantastic and yes, different! So what's this "Say Shava Shava?" Aadesh Shrivastava had hit the right chord with Amitabh Bachan with the song "Sona Sona" in Major Saab and does it again with "Say Shava Shava". Sameer has written it and with Aby Baby leading the vocals, it is really cool. So what if he is 59, he still is an icon. Also looks like there will be a female guest appearance for the song, maybe Simone Singh, Rani Mukherjee or even Aishwarya Rai. So watch out!

Remember "Ladki Badi Anjani Hai, Saajanji Ghar Aaye"? Now it is "Yeh Ladka Hai Allah" featuring Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan, music by Jatin-Lalit and lyrics by Sameer. The song has a small story to tell and is interesting. The title meanwhile reminds you of Asha Bhosle's hit song, "Yeh Ladka Hai Allah". Sonu Nigam has been chosen to sing the title track's sad version. I'm not too sure if I like it that much yet, how about you?

Kareena Kapoor challenges Hrithik Roshan in the song "Deewana Hai Dekho". Music by Sandesh again but lyrics by Sameer, let's see what it will look like, because it takes time to become your favorite. The soul of "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" has been composed brilliantly by Sandesh. It has the sense of drama, emotions and is excellent work by Sandesh, well done. The surprise of the whole film's songs is "Vande Mataram" by Usha Uthup. It sure is a treat and music by Sandesh is different. It is an honor for her and a pleasure for her fans, but how does it fit in the film?

The songs of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham are not such a disappointment considering that it is Karan Johar's second film with the expectations so high.
Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche
Starring: Aftab Shivdasani, Esha Deol, Sanjay Kapoor Music: Rajesh Roshan Lyrics: Ibrahim Ashq, Dev Kohli, Suryabhanu Gupt

Intro-koi mere dil se pooche- Udit Narayan
Short 30 second intro to the album. Udit Narayan sings it well.

Aawaara Main Badal- Sonu Nigam, Hema Sardesai
The orchestrations are boring and the tune is a little dry. But Sonu Nigam and Hema Sardesai render the song beautifully and make the track at least average.

Deewana Tera Hai- Udit Narayan
The tune is sweet and the Spanish guitar is nice. However, Rajesh Roshan still repeats some of his older Kaho na pyaar hai instrumentations. Udit Narayan sings this song. Good song.

Koyi Mere Dil Se Pooche- Udit Narayan, Pamela Jain
The song is a feel good happy number. It is a good listen but Rajesh Roshan keeps repeating the same sounds from Kaho Na Pyaar Hai for the back ground music. Nice title track though.

Mat Ho Udhas- Shaan, Pamela Jain
Shaan is at his usual best for this song. Biggest drawback for this song is that it is a straight repeat of Naa Tum Jaano Na Hum from Kaho Na Pyaar Hai.

Kahti Hai Mangni Ki Anghooti- Preeti Uttham
This song starts off on a promising note because of Preeti Uttham. The song just dries up after the first 20 seconds. Sounds like a Jatin Lalit composition, the only difference is that Preeti Uttham sings this, not Lata Mangeshkar. Ms. Uttham could not save this one.

Lapak Jhapak- Kamaal Khan
The track starts of superbly and evens out to an above- average song. Kamaal Khan is not a good choice for the song because his voice keeps breaking in the song. The use of synthesizer is nice. The song sounds like its from a concert.

Hanse Tim Tim- Pamela Jain
Pamela Jain sings this song wonderfully. She sounds like Alka Yagnik sometimes. The tune is boring and there is almost no good supporting music. The only support is from the chorus and the chorus sing like they are singing for a sad song from the 80's. Average.

Tera Bhala Kare Bhagwan- Sonu Nigam
Sonu Nigam is good in this song but I think K.K could have done a better job. The song itself is extremeley mediocre and one feels like fast forwarding after the first 2 minutes.

This album is ridiculously average. It looks like Rajesh Roshan is still stuck on Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai because he keeps repeating the same numbers. . I don't think Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai had exceptional music, it was more the picturization that made its music a big hit.

None of the lyrics in the songs stand out. This Boney Kapoor film has to be a good movie in order to be a hit. The music definitely will not help. Boney Kapoor said that a movie like Gadar did not need its music to become 2001's biggest hit (Gadar had mediocre music also). Uh-oh, did Boney bhai forget the likes of Mohra or Taal? The music in these movies made them blockbusters.
