Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah (Singers: Mohd. Aslam, Bonny Chakravarti)
The album starts with the thumping Azeem-O-Shaan Shehanshah. The melodic female chorus provides a
beautiful balance to the energetic male ensembles. Amazingly well written by Javed Akhtar and a perfect composition by ARR for the epic melody.

In Lamhon Ke Daaman Mein (Singers: Sonu Nigam, Madhushree)
Its a melodious track. Sonu sounds his best for rahman for this track. Madhushree comes only later to gear up the proceedings.

Jashn-E-Bahaara (Singer: Javed Ali)
This track is the pick of the lot. Javed at his best and his pleasing sound treat us with love.

Khwaja Mere Khawaja (Singer: A.R.Rahman )
Rahman himself has stepped up to sing the song, and arguably my favorite piece. A pure qawwali in the traditional sense, Khwaja Mere Khwaja opens with the flowing lines of the harmonium.

Mann Mohana (Singer: Bela Shende)
Speaking of devotion, we all know Ashutosh Gowarikar can’t do without a bhajan on Krishna or Rama in his films. With Man Mohana, its Lord Krishna again

Rating : 9/10
