2 of 2 people found this review helpful Wanna go on the dance floors...? Then the wait is over since the musicians Vishal-Shekhar bring a dance number for you. ‘Desi Girl’ is electrifying all the way. Shankar, Sunidhi and Vishal impress a lot with the vocals. Excellently written lyrics by Kumar make the song more catchy. The composition is a class. A wonderful number to listen to.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful Khabar Nahi is a soft soulful number; it's not hard to identify Amanat Ali's voice, his trademark alaaps fill the score. But, if you hear his previous film songs or his new album 'Tabeer', the improvisations seem to be more or less the same. Again, Khabar Nahi is spewed with Hinglish lyrics. Call it Vishal- Shekhars trademark sound.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful Shut Up & Dance, more or less, maintains the same feel as the previous track, but with a bit more flair and energy. High on attitude, the track features heavy mixing and synthesized sounds with little authentic backing. However, it's the half decent melody and Sunidhi Chauhan's smooth vocals that save this song from early retirement...

1 of 1 people found this review helpful Vishal-Shekar (V-S) makes another ''Dostana'' with their enthusiastic fan-following by delivering out a reasonably pleasant album that correlates to the feel of this hi-profile flick. Unlike last few Karan Johar albums, DOSTANA may not be enjoying higher shelf life but will surely be hitting charts in coming days...

1 of 1 people found this review helpful We do feel that for 'Dostana' Vishal-Shekhar have tried to incorporate the good features of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy style, keeping in mind the fact that they are composing for Karan Johar. But credit must be given to them for incorporating their own brilliant touches instead of just rehashing blindly...

2 of 2 people found this review helpful Shaan brings the album to a close with Kuch Kum, another romantic number. This one is slower and it is harder to get your heart into it. Shaan's rendition, while effective is nothing unique. The song basically sounds like something out of his personal album Aksar...

1 of 1 people found this review helpful The album features some of the nicest groovy numbers for this festive season. But somewhere, the main title 'Dostana' is missing from the songs. The feeling of companionship which was strongly felt from the songs of yesteryears superhit 'Dostana' is not there in the 2008 release 'Dostana'.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful The series of pleasant numbers doesn't end here. "Kuch Kum" takes it forward. Shaan renders the rhythmical and flowing number to perfection. "Kuch Kum" has some beautiful lyrics, courtesy Vishal Dadlani, who is determined to impress his fans. Listeners would not only like to hear this track repeatedly but would also look forward to watching it onscreen.
