EXPECTATIONS
Contemplating that Khandaani Shafakhana is a Bollywood movie, it has half a dozen songs in there. In any other case a movie with a topic revolving round ‘let’s speak about intercourse’ hardly has the type of premise which might warrant a music album. Nonetheless, that is certainly the case with this Sonakshi Sinha, Badshah and Varun Sharma movie and one waits to listen to what’s within the providing.
MUSIC
As is the development, a few recreated numbers – each courtesy composer and lyricist Tanishk Bagchi – open the soundtrack. First to reach is Jasbir Jassi’s ‘Koka’ which is an efficient occasion quantity that has an immense foot tapping attraction to it.

The tune is recreated with Badshah and Tulsi Kumar, and the general outcomes are fairly good over again. The core hook of the tune is what makes you revisit this one over again, and there may be someting intoxicating about ‘Sheher Ki Ladki’ that it sounds as contemporary as ever.

Nevertheless, there’s something soulful and serene about this situational quantity that you just would not thoughts enjoying it in loop and listening to it for lengthy.
Rochak Kohli concludes the album with Altamash Faridi sung ‘Bheege Mann’ and this time across the finish result’s nearly unusual. A gradual shifting situational monitor written by Gautam G Sharma and Gurpreet Saini, it really brings down the tempo of the soundtrack. Had there been one of many three occasion numbers positioned because the final tune in Khandaani Shafakhana, it might simply have made for a greater finish consequence.
