Review The album opens with the title song Saathiya, a melodious number with the rich flute solos and guitar accompaniment in the backdrop. Lyrics by Gulzar are good and Sonu Nigam rendition is appreciable. The album then gets into a festive mood with Chalka Chalka Re sung by Richa Sharma, Mahalaxmi, Vaishali, and Shoma. The song is a wedding number with a distinct South Indian flavor. On the whole Saathiya has one of the most commendable compositions by Rahman. Gulzar s meaningful words enrich the album. --apunkachoice.com

Another masterpiece from A.R. Rahman
A.R. Rahman borrowed most of the tracks from this movie from "Alaiputhiye", but the tracks are extremely good. I am listening to these tracks more than 10 years after it was first released - that's how good the album is. At times, it seems like Rahman tries to bring in Michael Jackson-ish beats into his music (like in "Humdum Suniyo Re", but it always works. My favourites:Chupke Se - A song about longing.O Humdum Suniyo Re - The opening track to the movie.Aye Udi Udi Udi - A song about the high point of newly-married Viveik Oberoi and Rani Mukerji's troubled marriage.Mera Yaar Mila De - Accompanies the movie when Viveik goes in search of Rani, who is a volunteer doctor in rural India.Saathiya - A beautifully composed and choreographed sequence.Songs like these deserve to be played again and again on your music player.

A. R. Rahman Rocks
Sonu Nigam's syrupy sweet vocals do wonders for the title track. Gulzar's lyrics are a breath of fresh air and he seems to be in fine form here. Rahman has created a very soft and soothing number, and Shaad Ali seems to have done justice to it by picturising it beautifully as it's evident from the trailers.
