Heavy Rotation: Arrol Corelli, Pritam Chakraborty, Vishal Chandrashekhar & More

Kahani, with its waltz rhythm, is ear-pleasing and characterised by a spring in its steps, while Main Ki Karaan, sung beautifully by Sonu Nigam and Romy, has a lovely, breezy sound. Tur Kalleyan works well as a hymnal mix of sufi and qawwali'esque elements. Tere Hawaale is cut from the same cloth as the former, featuring a meditative soundbed that finds solid vocal backing in Arijit Singh and Shilpa Rao. Pritam has an easy winner on his hands with Laal Singh Chaddha.
