Fashion, Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest venture, is already in news for its controversial subject. According to trade analysts, it is the biggest project of Madhur Bhandarkar. So, the music album has to live up to expectations in order to promote the film.

Based on the glamour world, making music for this movie had been a tough task for Salim-Sulaiman, the composers of the film. But, they handled it quite well. The soundtrack has 5 original songs with 5 remixes.

1. Fashion Ka Jalwa

Soundtrack opens with a blast with Fashion Ka Jalwa, a blend of western music and Indian singing, composed beautifully and penned amiably by Sandeep Nath. Sung my Sukhwinder Singh, he gave a pure Indian touch to this song with Satya Hinduja and Robert “Bob” Omulo helping him on the song. A remix version of the song is also there in the album. A great track with good replay value.

2. Mar Jawaan

This song is one of the best songs to come out this year. The power lies in the singing which is done amazingly by Shruti Pathak. Lyrics are great and music is good, too. A true lounge feel has been given to the song. With Salim Merchant on backup vocals, song reaches to a whole new level. Music is really smooth and you can play it again and again.

3. Kuchh Khaas

This song somewhat appears to be out of the league for this album. It somewhat resembles to those romantic numbers by Vishal and Shekhar. Singing is great but the music is a letdown. There is nothing great about the song which is 5 minutes in length and with no reply value.

4. Aashiyana

Aashiyana is another disappointment after Kuchh Khaas. I can’t imagine this song in the movie at all. Lyrics are not great and nothing special about the song. It is a really bad track. Salim-Sulaiman went completely wrong with this one.

5. Theme Of Fashion

Just when you think they had lost the touch, here come another great song. The sound of santoor grabs your attention and forces you to listen to the song. There are hardly any vocals in the song and it can be played in the background during the movie. A fast paced track which captures your attention during the whole 4 minutes of its runtime.

It’s an above average album with classics like Mar Jawaan and Theme of Fashion. Madhur Bhandarkar finally gets a good soundtrack for his movie and Salim-Sulaiman carried on with their good form. A must listen for everyone.
