Ajnabi has real jazzy touch to the entire song, good differentiator in a world of drums and rocks (not literally) :) Raaj has tried his best, modulations are almost perfect, but frankly, he doesn't have a great voice - a bit flat at times, the reach just wasn't there in a few places (Boondein ghiri khwahishon ki to mein; Ek pal bhi na khud mein raha) is a really great opportunity for a singer, there could have been a better voice is my opinion - I could be wrong though, I'm not a big singer... :P And he twists his tongue to spell - Khwaab (Beeda pottu paadaradha pola :) ) Some ups and downs I just couldn't understand. Reached my tubelight brain only when I saw the video. Aha, it was done for the video, to match the hero's expressions.. And of course - Kunal (the actor) has put up a great show (in that song) ! There are too many sodhapals/turn offs in that song for me :) They could have actually done a separate composition for cassettes (maybe they have)... Pehli Nazar is da song ! Decently composed, excellently sung actually - it doesn't have anything great about the music (iterludes and part of the saranam are a bit normal), just that the singer has more than made up for it.. Atif has sung it with real feelings - rasichu paadirukaanu theriyudu !! Esp. when he does the "O Jaan-E-Jaan Dono Jahan Meri Bahon Mein Aa Bhool Ja Aa" and the Baby I love u varieties.. Atif absolutely rocks.. u r right. Baby I love u jingle really tingles... Gels really well with the song.. Thanks a lot for introducing this song to me ! :) Cheers SRK <strong><em> Aparna: Thanks for the comment.. 2c ku ezhudha sonna neega pattukku $2 ku ezhudharadha.. :P just kidding.. you've said it all..
