Music Review: Ladies vs Ricky Bahl

After the last year's sleeper hit Band Baaja Baaraat, the Ranveer Singh-Anushka Sharma-Salim-Sulaiman-Maneesh Sharma-Yash Raj combination (phew!) is back once again with Ladies vs Ricky Bahl. Aadat Se Majboor is an obvious nod to Tarkeebein, but sails through effortlessly in Benny Dayal's smooth vocals, while Jazba, sung by Shilpa Rao, works well as a vivacious motivational anthem. With Salim Merchant and Shraddha Pandit providing the vocals, Jigar Ka Tukda is Ainvayi rehashed, but is nonetheless foot-tapping. Thug Le is just about passably engaging a dance number, but Fatal Attraction is as interesting an instrumental as it can get. Salim-Sulaiman's Ladies vs Ricky Bahl is a case of old wine in a new bottle, and it's high time the duo step out of their comfort zone.
