 Nishikant Kamat’s ‘Rocky Handsome’ is considered to be an Action- Thriller Film. It stars John Abraham, Shruti Hassan, Sharad Kelkar & Nishikant himself. The film’s story revolves around a man who sets out to take vengeance against the drug mafia after they take away an eight-year-old girl, with whom he shares a special bond. Let’s listen to the music to know how well it’s done for itself.

 ‘Rock the Party’ the album starts with this track which has been composed & sung by Bombay Rockers. The track originally belongs to the duo and was released in 2004 and has been re-created for the film. The original track is distinctly a better one than the latest.The lyrics have been penned down by Kumaar, the line Dhoom Maccha de Rang Jumma de…..is for sure going to make you feel like you suddenly flipped thechannel to a commercial and got back to the song remember PAN PARAG…Bingo!!!! We’ll have to check the film for co-branding.

Ratings: 2.5/5

The second song in the album is a mysterious romantic one ‘Rehnuma’ sung by Shreya Ghoshal in her incredible voice, making her sound different, however it can’t be considered as one of her finest. Composed by Sunny & Inder Bawra to the conscious lyrics put together by Manoj Muntashir and Sagar Lahauri. It’s an average song and gives you that feeling when some things a miss sounding slightly outdated.

Ratings: 2.5/5

The next song is ‘Alfazon Ki Tarah’ which starts beautifully with the playing of the piano composed& sung by Ankit Tiwari in his unique style of crooning however it fails to touch the heart and also makes him sound off beat in parts of the song. The lyrics have been written by Abhendra Kumar Upadhyay. The song has a soft rock treatment and nothing much to remember.                                                                                                                                            Ratings: 2/5

‘Aye Khuda’ is an empathetic song sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan which starts very slowly and goes really high pitched which is Rahat’s forte. This composition by Sunny & Inder Bawra is the most powerful & effective song of the movie and will accomplish to move you considering the plot of the film. The lyrics have been sensitively and precisely penned down by Sachin Pathak & Shekhar Astitwa. It also has a duet version sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Shreya Ghoshal in her scintillating voice. This is by far the best song of the movie.

The last song of the album is ‘Titliyan’ sung by Sunidhi Chauhan in her sexy and spellbinding voice.This is a techno track and is the apt Item number required in the movie. This is another composition by the Bawra brothers to the interesting lyrics of Sagar Lahauri, the word “Hello” has been superbly used in different ways and several times in the track.                                        

Ratings:3.5/5

Overall, the album of ‘Rocky Handsome is a very average one and could have been much better; It does have a few well known names in terms of composers, singers & lyricists however that doesn’t always mean the album will be a stupendous one. It gives you one old track reworked, 2 very average songs & two songs that manage to save the album. The music will last in your mind only until this movie last in Theaters.
