There was a time when long titles used to be in vogue. ' Mohabbat Ho Gayee Hai Tumse ' belongs to the same era that also establishes the launch period of the movie. A Satish Khanna production that has Rishi Talwar wearing the director's hat, MHGHT is one of those long long-delayed products that is now getting ready to see the light of the day. With Sanjay Dutt in the lead along with Shamita Shetty and Chandarchur Singh in other principal roles, MHGHT has Sanjeev Darshan trying their luck on the music scene with yet another outing while Sameer, Abbas Katka and Naseer Farez churn the lyrics.

Sanjeev Darshan's regular Kavita Krishnamurthy opens the album with painfully boring ' Mere Sanam ' that has nothing much to offer. The only new thing about the song is Udit Narayan voice alike Shaurin Bhatt who does a pretty decent job while rendering this love song that is more sad than joyful. The song moves at its own sweet pace and continues to drag during its entire duration. Give it a miss!

Title song ' Mohabbat Ho Gayee Hai Tumse ' comes up next that is sung by Sonu Nigam and Mahalaxmi. Modeled around Md. Rafi's sad songs from the 60s, this one too misses the bus and doesn't rise to the occasion at all. Sonu Nigam tries to give varied pitches to the number but even that cannot salvage the song from being more than just mediocre. Mahalaxmi too fails to make her presence felt in this track that is quite weak for a title song.

Shaan and Shreya Ghoshal come together for the first listenable song in the album ' O Saathiya '. A sweet sounding track, it is vibrant and has the pace that would make for a good dance'n'love song. The lyrics are nothing more than ordinary but at least the tune has something in it that keeps the interest alive in the song. Shaan is good while Shreya Ghoshal is in her spirited best.

The album gets back to where it started with the item song ' Saiyan Sanye Sanyoni ' by item-voice 'Sunidhi Chauhan'. Simply bad, the tune is so predictable from the word GO that you can actually hear what Sunidhi is going to sing next because of the 20-30 odd songs from this genre that she has already sung in last two years. The music doesn't help the cause either while the lyrics are at best situational. By now one looses all interest in the album and just waits for the rest of the songs to come and see if there is anything at all worth humming.

An interesting trend seen so far in the album has been that none of the singers have been repeated in any of the songs. The trend continues with ' Sona Sona Mukhda ' where Alka Yagnik makes an entry into the album. The song is just a continuation to the ' balle balle shaava shaava ' mode that is hardly surprising. A 'mehndi' cum 'shaadi-byaah' celebration song, it is just about average to save it from being an outright dismissal.

Rest of the album comprises of two bonus songs that are not a part of the movie. Both ' Baahon Mein Aaja ' and ' Kaise Kahoon ' are duets by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik from the movie ' Kaise Kahoon ' that was made way back in 2001 and was supposed to be Aditi Govitrikar's launch pad. The album had music by Kumar Sanu while Shyam Raj wrote the lyrics. ' Baahon Mein Aaja ' is a love duet that doesn't sound a bit melodious inspite of proven singers. ' Kaise Kahoon ' comes way towards the end and this is the only song in the entire album so far that really impresses. A very good melody, it has both Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik in their elements. How one wishes if there were a couple of such more songs in the album that would have lifted the songs from being average to below average.

MHGHT is an album that has hardly been visible while the promos too have been far and few to create any awareness. The quality of songs too is nothing sensational to talk home about that further reduces any chances of the album reaching out to people. In all probability, MHGHT would just go unnoticed.
