Comical star Arshad Warsi changes gear into thought-provoking cinema for the first time in 'Sehar'. Reality shows made in the cinema are current rage among new directors, and 'Sehar' is one such offering. 'Sehar' meaning "morning" in Urdu is a cop-underworld story based on real life characters and incidents set in Uttar Pradesh. Arshad Warsi plays Superintendent of Police and actor Sushant Singh an underworld don. Mahima Chaudhary once again pairs up with Arshad after the debacle of Samar Khan's 'Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaaye'. 'Sehar' is a journey of 31-year- old SSP of Lucknow in bringing dedicated police officers under the tutelage of Special Task Force. Debutante director Kabeer Kaushik tries to glorify the changing infrastructure of UP politics as the film travels through harsh realities. The film explores nexus between politician, builders, police and mafia, pro-activism of criminal gangs, ISI involvement in the criminalization of innocent University students. 'Sehar' is made under the banner of Choice Films Production with Ashvin J. Patel as the producer and Sumit D Rajani as the associate producer. New musical composer Daniel B George has rendered musical soundtracks. After some fine work in 'Parineeta' Swanand Kirkire tries to maintain his creative work as a lyricist along with Dr Nilanjana Kishore. Audio release of 'Sehar' was held recently in Mumbai. Local Police Commissioner A.N.Roy along with Mahima Chaudhary and Sushant Singh launched the audiocassettes and CD's. The album has ten original soundtracks on "Music Today".

Side A has five soundtracks with title track "Sapno Ka Shehar Ho" being the outstanding track. "Sapno ka Shehar Ho, Khushiyon bhara Safar Ho, Koi Dar Na Ho, Kab Aayegi Sehar Woh" is heart warming and inspirational lyrics. Alka Yagnik along with underprivileged girls renders this. Lyricists have reciprocated the words "Shehar" and "Sehar" beautifully that epitomize the tyranny and suffering of the underprivileged. Producers have credited the soundtrack to Alka Yagnik and underprivileged girls to evoke sympathy for the sufferers or simply it's just a gimmick to boost the sales. The theme of the soundtrack sounds similar to Raj Kapoor's classic soundtrack "Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi". Daniel B George has used auto phonic and stringed instruments with ease and delight to make it notable and appreciable. The soundtracks find importance in the film as the soundtrack reappears as the concluding track of the album.

Adnan Sami's soft romantic voice makes way along with Alka Yagnik in the sentimental soundtrack "Palkein Jhukao Na". After the recent hit "Ek Ajnabee Sa" from 'Lucky', Adnan impresses once again with his mesmerizing voice. It's pleasant to hear lovable romantics in realistic action drama that outfits present political scenario. Alka Yagnik's voice echoes and then soothes senses making it a perfect romantic track. The instrumental as well as the brief version of the soundtrack appear on the other side of the album.

Instrumental expertise forays the instrumental 'Sehar' theme I track "Force" with flamboyance. Daniel B George has made the optimum use of instruments like saxophone (Raghav), guitars (Kalyan & Ankur), sarangi (Dilshad), drums (Ashwani), mandolin (Chandrakant), bass (Brennon) and clarinet (Sirajuddin). This five and half minute's soundtrack works as signature tune and background score at the climax and various stages of the film.

Classical singer Shubha Joshi renders pious and religious Sanskrit shlokas in "Prayer" that lasts less than two minutes.

Sehar theme II comes out with some soft and somber orchestration as flute recitation renders the line "Sapno Ka Shehar Ho" in "Sacrifice". The soundtrack like "Force" epitomizes the theme of the film.

Side B has five original soundtracks with the instrumental version of "Palkein Jhukao Na" and repetition of title track "Sapno Ka Shehar". Traditional folk singer and now pop singer Shubha Mudgal sings customary marriage song "Nakhredar Banno". Song describes the feeling and emotions of the newly wed bride with the chorus supporting it well. The soundtrack is customary UP folk style marriage celebration song with ethnic touch. Romantic soundtrack "Palkein Jhukao Na" comes out with a different feel in the voices of composer Swanand Kirkire and Meenal Jain. Fine piece of mandolin and guitar gets the perfect match of the vocalist as this comes out as softer version of the track. New talent Meenal Jain's voice impresses the most with sensual touch and promises. Gifted and critically acclaimed actor Pankaj Kapoor renders sentimental theme lines in "Faiz" that last for a minute. Instrumental version of "Palkein Jhukaon Na" by Raghav Sachar comes out with fine piece of saxophone. The romantic lines and couplets are well described in instrumental notes of saxophone.

The album concludes with the repetition of the title track "Sapno Ka Shehar Ho". Music composer Daniel B George has shown promise in this action-oriented film album. The album will find appreciation from classes and might not hit chartbusters. George certainly deserves better opportunities to prove his mettle, and one hopes for bright prospects for the film
