In terms of composition tune, two distinct factors stand out i.e. CHAL DARIYA KINARE JAYENGE, HUM DIL KI PATANG UTAARENGE, NAMKEEN ZARA HOJAYENGE from 1.06 to 1.14 & 1.33 to 1.41 in mukhda which have ‘catchy repetitive hooks’ and lines AISA MAUSAM from 2.46 to 2.48 & MERI DHADKAN from 4.04 to 4.06 in stanzas which are ‘typical unique HR melody’. Both are typical traits of Himesh – the pre ABA composer.

Verdict

The songs Tera Tasavur, Honey Honey and Pyar Ke Pence have traces and stamp of typical unique HR melody.

The remaining songs do not have traces and stamp of typical unique HR melody.

My Picks

1. Tera Tasavur.

2. Honey Honey.

3. Pyaar Ke Pench

Best line in mukhda is Kunal Ganjawala's line,

PE-EE-EE (catchy quick twist) from 1.38 to 1.39 & 1.43 to 1.44

Off-da-hook quick heavy drum roll beats from 1.36 to 1.37 followed by off-da-hook table hit effect in unplugged mode 1.38 to 1.39 that catches the listener's pulse

the listener feels the underlying rhythmic foot tapping beat

4. Suni Raatein.
