Director Imtiaz Ali from Jamshedpur impressed everyone with his very first venture 'Socha Na Tha'. The movie did not get the commercial success it deserved, mainly because the two very talented and fresh faces, Abhay Deol and Ayesha Takia did not get the backing of super hit music, which is a prerequisite for a successful love story. The music by Sandesh Shandilya was good, but the chartbusters were missing. So it is not a surprise that this time around Imtiaz has chosen the music director who has lady luck smiling on him all the time. Yes, we are talking about Pritam, whose movies(for which he composes music) seldom fail at the box-office. The latest example is that of Priyadarshan's 'Dhol', which despite the lean period of 'Ramzaan' has already become a good average. So let us check out whether Pritam will be lucky for Shahid-Kareena and Imtiaz.

After the rocking title tracks of 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' and 'Dhol', Pritam seems set for another chartbuster in 'Mauja Hi Mauja', which is the first track of the album. The groovy rhythm propels one to dance, which when combined with Mika Singh's mast and bindaas singing and the deadly combo of the always popular Punjabi-Hindi-English lyrics, is bound to become a sure fire hit. The composition should be patronized by the youth and will burn the dance floors of the discotheques and pubs. The only hitch will be the lyrics in Punjabi, which will be difficult for those who are not conversant with the language. But no worry, as the deadly rhythm will do the trick.

Some lovely synthesized rhythm commences the 'Mauja Hi Mauja-Remix' by Bunty Rajput. As the original was already rhythmic and pacy there was no need to remix this track. But it's a demand of today's times and Bunty has done a good makeover, so who minds a second, spicier version of the chartbuster.
