Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC), run by the father-daughter duo of Pritish and Rangita have given us quite a number of unsuccessful movies and out of that list only 'Shabd' and 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena' had good music. On the other hand Vikram Bhatt's directorial ventures like 'Kasoor, 'Ghulam', 'Fareb', 'Raaz' and 'Awaara Paagal Deewana' had chartbusting scores. The music director in PNC-Vikram's latest offering 'Ankahee' is Pritam and he has an enviable track record with 'Dhoom', 'Chocolate', 'Garam Masala' and the most recent 'Gangster'. So without much delay, let us check out what the audio has to offer.

The first track is 'Ek Pal Ke Liye' and it appears thrice in the album. Don't jump to conclusions, as these are not remixes (like Club Mix, Dhol Mix etc.). They are in fact, the same songs sung by highly talented, young and upcoming artists of today K.K. and Shreya Ghoshal and of course the seasoned Sonu Nigam.

K.K.'s passion filled crooning (reminiscent of the 'Holiday' theme) commences this highly infectious, partially seductive and part romantic track. The soft, subtle melody along with the superbly arranged orchestra is a listener's delight. Full marks to Pritam (we hope its original!) for coming up with another beautiful romantic track after 'Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai' ('Gangster'). Amitabh Verma's lyrics stand out and the words keep haunting one even after the song concludes - 'Phir kya ho kya khabar, dekha hai kisne kal, aa raat rok le, phir ho na jaaye seher.' K.K. is excellent, though his diction is faulty.
