The moment you hear that here is a movie with a story about the Hindi film industry of the 1950s and early 60s, you expect period music, yet you expect it to be fresh and new.

Lyricist Swanand Kirkire and Ajay Jhingran’s raspy voices take you through the racy title song.

“Ye nigahein”, is a sassy number, with Antara Choudhury trying a Geeta Dutt kind of lilting seductive singing style.

In a similar genre is “Khushboo sa”, crooned by Hamsika Iyer.

And when you are trying to capture the life of a Hindi film actress, can an inviting mujra be far behind?

So “Chale aao saiyan” sings Shreya Ghoshal. “O re paakhi” is a soft and soothing song by Sonu Nigam.

“Sakhi piya” is a classical piece, and “Thirak Thirak”, the final number, nicely ties up the album with the theme of the roads taken and destinations of the heart.
