Kalyug, HMV Saregama WANT a feel of Pakistani pop? Buy a Bhatt soundtrack. The only Bhatt favourite missing from Kalyug (Mukesh Bhatt's latest release) is former Junoon lead singer Ali Azmat. The line-up includes a new entry from Pakistan—Nazam Sheraz, Nusrat's nephew Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, old flame Atif Aslam, who swept the charts with a single (Woh Lamhe in Zeher) and Jal, the band that later claimed the single was theirs, creating enough hype just before the film released.

Khan opens the album with Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Jaye, which doesn't have the Dil ki Lagan charisma (Paap), but works well for their promo. Aslam and Jal seem to have buried the hatchet and offer two versions of Aadat. Now we're not too sure who composed the original, considering Jal remarked during the Woh Lamhe controversy: ''We don't need to prove whose original it is and make it messy or insult a film-maker of Mahesh Bhatt's calibre.'' Anyway, we prefer Jal's acoustic version and Goher Mumtaz's voice because Mumtaz manages to retain the classic style of singing, characteristic of Pakistani acts like Strings and Fuzon. Anu Malik's Thi Meri Dastan, a duet with Anuradha Paudwal and Indian Idol finalist Amit Sana, does nothing for Paudwal but does complete justice to Sana, who might turn out to be the next most sought-after voice for ghazals. Sana has proved that he can carve a niche of his own, unlike Rahul Vaidya who's a Sonu clone. Alisha Chinai, another Malik favourite, is terrible in Dheere Dheere. Avoid.

Sheraz' vocals and track—Ye Pal—are completely uninspiring, and you realise that Kalyug hasn't been able to do what Paap did for Pakistani music. And that isn't because we've had a Pak pop OD, but only because the selection of songs is rather unappealing.
