Packed with fast energetic numbers, the soundtrack of director Ayan Mukerji's forthcoming movie 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' has nine tracks. High on energy and beats, it's an out and out fun and masti album. Though the inclination is towards vibrant and youthful compositions, it does have its share of emotional songs.
The album has an energetic start with 'Badtameez Dil', sung by Benny Dayal and Shefali Alvaris. Get ready to groove to the number as its fast beats will definitely pull you to the dance floor. The young, peppy and crazy tune justify the title of the movie. The peppy lyrics are in sync with the mood. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Nowadays, Holi songs are a rarity and 'Balam Pichkari', sung by Vishal Dadlani and Shalmali Kholgade, is one those rare songs. The naughty number would make you dance. The lyrics are witty. Its starts on a high note and ends on a high note. A must hear....
