![]() Thankfully Cocktail returns to the kind of sensibilities that had caught one's attention from the very beginning. Perhaps there is a situation in the film which actually warrants this Miss Pooja, Neha Kakkar and Nakash Aziz number but on the face value, it is a distraction amidst rest of the album. Seemingly an item number which hopefully turns out to be a spoof of sorts, it is a foot tapping number but in a setting that just doesn't seem correct. In fact the song could have been a replacement of ' Pritam Pyaare' and no one would have noticed. First and foremost the title itself isn't the kind that suits the genre, setting and expected treatment of Cocktail. What surprises though, and in a mixed way, is ' Second Hand Jawaani'. What is most amazing here is to see Pritam not just bring Benny Dayal on the scene but even lend an all-important song to newcomer Shalmali Kholgade who had created quite some impression in ' Pareshan' just a few weeks ago. An even better composition and bringing in much needed 'thehrav' after a foot tapping start, ' Daaru Desi' is written by guest lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya who justifies the reason why he has been roped in here. Just when one wondered if it would be difficult for rest of the album to match the zany feel of ' Tum Hi Ho Bandhu' arrives ' Daaru Desi'. ![]() A well tuned song in all regards and boasting of some poetic lyrics by Irshad Kamil which find their way into today's youth, ' Tum Hi Ho Bandhu' is a winner. A sure shot chartbuster which fuses Indian melody with Western arrangements while being well aided by some terrific singing by Kavita Seth, ' Tum Hi Ho Bandhu' is the kind that would not just turn out to be a DJ's favourite but can also be expected to be hot favourite amongst campus crowds. The album begins on a rollicking note with ' Tum Hi Ho Bandhu' which is just the kind that one expected in a Saif Ali Khan-Pritam-Neeraj Shreedhar collaboration. Result? A soundtrack that goes a good distance in exceeding expectations that audience has from the music of a Saif Ali Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer. First and foremost the genre is 'safe' in industry parlance which translates into the fact that for composer Pritam and lyricist Irshad Kamil, the stage was set to go all out and create a contemporary musical score with a touch of Western sensibilities to it. There are very good expectations from the music of Cocktail.
