Music Review: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Hindi)
Composer(s): Himesh Reshammiya

It seems Himesh's brief for Prem Leela was to recreate Jumme Ki Raat with the 90's sounds, and the result, needless to say, is middling. The title song is no exception when it comes to mining 90's nostalgia, but it's at least melodious in Palak Muchhal's beautiful vocals. Ditto Jalte Diye, with Anwesshaa and Vineet Singh flawlessly leading on the singing front. Aaj Unse Milna Hai, the most 90's-like song, appears in three different variants, while the folky romantic melody Jab Tum Chaho and the retro dance number Tod Tadaiyya make for passable listens. Bachpan Kahan? comes as a pleasant diversion and Halo Re... (anyone getting a Tune Maari Entriyaan feel?), in Aman Trikha's vivacious rendition, is catchy! Making an obvious nod to the 90's, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo sees Himesh conforming to the Rajshri/Barjatya template.
