This song has an interesting mix of Indian semi-classical coupled with haunt feel effect, thus justifying and catering to the situational setting of da storyline in question.

The duet melodies of Vaada, Yakeen and Fear were such that they could all be put in one single album to see the association of sound with each other, and this fact is primarily due to the fact of the backdrop theme of the projects in question. i.e. haunt feel.

My Picks

1. Tune Mujhko Deewana Kiya

Udit's lines, KIS KADAR (terrific sooth feel) from 0.41 to 0.43. The bazz trumpet from 1.44 to 1.49 wins over da listener. The fast paced tabla hits from 2.00 to 2.03, 2.17 to 2.20 & 2.33 to 2.35 give intermittent kick. The two tabla hits from 3.23 to 3.24 & 4.56 to 4.57 catch the listener's classical pulse. Alka elevates this song to a whole new level especially from 5.07 onwards, with emphasis on lines, LUT (OFF-DA-HOOK fulltu high pitched melodious vocals) at 5.18, EK TERE SIWA KUCH NA AAYE NAZAR (catchy melodious vocals) from 6.00 to 6.05

2. Meri Aankhon Mein

It is the 'most melodious' HAUNT FEEL song in pre ABA era.

Great haunt feel elements are used throughout the song, with emphasis on the the mysterious groovy sound and female haunt feel chorus from start to 0.19, the haunt feel piano theme piece from 0.20 to 0.39, the intense violin piece from 0.41 to 0.50, spooky oriental flute from 2.13 to 2.25 in between 1st stanza gap, haunt feel keys from 3.35 to 3.55 in between 2nd stanza gap, haunt feel tune from 5.46 to 5.50 and female haunt feel chorus from 6.08 to 6.14 near the end.

(time stamps are for OST version, not music video above)

3. Tu Hi Mera Dil Hai & Chehra Tera (tie)

Tu Hi Mera Dil Hai

It is a SADDISTIC song with a DEPRESSING FEEL, especially the STANZA lines which are sung with a DEJECTED HELPLESS FEEL that leave the listeners a little gutted, due to the fact that the lovers are close and yet so far apart (itne paas ho kar bhi itne door), due to a breakdown in relationship or a tradegy of separation lurking nearby due to situational cicumstances, and despite that they somehow wish to be together, as expressed in the lyrics i.e. 

Shreya's lines, BEHKE HAI AARMAAN, MEHKA SAMAA HAI...TANHAIYYON KA-AAA (terrific twist) at 2.56, PAL SHABNAMI HAI (terrific subtle feel twist) from 2.59 to 3.00, followed by Sonu's line's with subtle feel vocals, Sonu's lines with subtle feel vocals, TU PAAS MERE BAITHI HAI PHIR BHI...LAGTA HAI JAISE TERI KAMI HAI (outstanding lyrics that can cause teary eyes due to the emotional konnekt with the listener) from 3.01 to 3.10 in 1st stanza in the sense that his lover is sitting right by his side, but he loves her so much to an extent that still he feels the void with whatever remaining gap n distance there is between them. 

Shreya's lines, DEEWAANGEE HAI DEEWANAPAN HAI, KAISE BATAU-UUN (terrific twist) at 4.29, KAISI LAGAN HAI (terrific desperation plea twist) from 4.31 to 4.32, followed by Sonu's line's with subtle feel vocals, AANKHON MEIN KYA HAI, CHEHRA TERA HAI...TERE LIYE HI BECHAIN (halke se desperation feel) at 4.41, MANN HAI in 2nd stanza.

The emotional raga theme piece from 2.16 to 2.27 followed by female emotional chorus from 2.28 to 2.38 depicts the desperation feel.

4. Bhoolna Nahi

The two versions of this haunt feel love ballad are a plea to seek reassurance from both unconditional lovers who have doubt over the loss of trust in their relationship and do not want separation due to circumstantial misunderstandings and interference of extraordinary supernatural happenings.

The male (Shaan's) version is better than the female (Sunithi's) version.

The song begins with a mysterious feel tune and female haunt feel croons until 0.15, followed by dodgy male croons from 0.15 to 0.22, The underlying beat from 0.36 onwards has a quick repetitive hard skip pattern. Spooky freaky croons in between 2nd stanza gap from 3.43 to 4.01, Off-da-hook fluctuating groovy sound from 4.42 to 4.47 in 2nd stanza. Jayesh Gandhi's catchy croons from 5.41 onwards to end.
