A Hinglish number with a pop flavor to it, it belongs to the kind that makes for a pleasant hearing. The soundtrack continues to find itself on a stable ground with Benny Dayal stepping in with 'If You Hold My Hand'. Expect this one to find patronage amongst youth in a big way and also pep up the narrative in a big way. Soldierz joining as well (who also contributes with the lyrics), it is fun all the way right through its quick-fire three minute play. A pajama party number which has Sachin and Jigar coming together behind the mike with Varun Dhavan and D. Thankfully, there is respite immediately with 'Happy Birthday' which is yet another birthday song to arrive this year after a fantastic 'Birthday Bash'. One just hopes that in the film it doesn't play for its entire duration of four and a half minutes! A pathos filled track about a youngster remembering the care and affection from his mother, it has Arijit Singh sounding quite different from his usual self. It is a slow moving sad number that typically brings down the pace of the film. However, what surprises is the arrival of 'Chunar' at this juncture. A package track which has Divya Kumar coming behind the mike as well, this one warrants a repeat listening. Moreover, what really impresses about this classical fusion number is the manner in which Shraddha Kapoor takes it to the next level with her dance moves. Priya Saraiya also makes a guest appearance for this number as a lyricist and does complete justice as a singer too while rendering this one. Immediately after comes the most melodious number of the film, 'Sun Saathiya'.
Expect a terrific outing on screen when the song arrives in the film. As for Anushka Manchanda, she makes an entry two minutes into the song and brings in just the right variation that was needed before Vishal takes over the scene yet again. The choice of singers is right through as Vishal Dadlani is as ferocious as he can get for this high decibel number while Madhav Krishna brings on the right contrast with his pleasant rendition of 'Bezubaan'. Now that's a right move indeed as an instant connect is formed with the listeners due to the recollection factor. The soundtrack kick-starts with the anthem number 'Bezubaan Phir Se'. Now that was pretty much the need of the hour too as there are as many as 10 unique songs put together by composers Sachin-Jigar and lyricist Mayur Puri. Thankfully for the film's sequel, the makers have kick-started the promotional campaign well in advance. While the music of ABCD was good too, its songs had arrived for audience consumption quite late in the day. When a film belongs to the music and dance genre, the obvious expectation is of an out and out foot tapping soundtrack which doesn't have a single dance moment.
