It has the style of country singing and is very catchy. The song begins with singer Loy Mendosa singing in English. If there is one song in the album, which can be termed as simply "amazing", it is Slow motion angreza.Not just the singer's voice but the music also compliments the feel of the track. Sung by Siddharth Mahadevan, it is really hard-hitting and inspirational. The rock version of title track makes up for the missing element in the previous number.While singer Arif Lohar's voice is a treat for everyone, the listener keeps on waiting for a high adrenaline rushing twist, which never comes. Even though the lyrics are very powerful, the regular pace of the song makes it a little uninteresting for the listener. Bhaag milkha bhaag, the title track of the movie, is a little disappointing.With singer Divya Kumar crooning in the track, it can be easily tagged as a boys' number. Maston ka jhund has already become the favourite of many youngsters.The lyrics prove to be a rare phenomenon with poetry being given a lot of space and the track is one of the high points of the album. Unlike usual romantic numbers, this one stands apart with Sufi music blended into the melody seamlessly. Javed Bashir has sung the next track Mera Yaar beautifully.From hard rock music in the background, the song gradually takes a turn towards a soft, smooth melody. The guitar riffs at the song's beginning are impressive, while the background music along with tough lyrics make the song very encouraging. Zinda, sung by multiple singers namely Suhas Sawant, Raman Mahadevan, Mani Mahadevan and Siddharth Mahadevan, has an inspiring passion and intensity.The album starts with a Gurbani, soulfully rendered by Daler Mehndi to create a mood of peace.While a lot of the songs are inclined towards fun and passion, the romantic tracks also manage to steal a bit of limelight in the album. The music of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has eight tracks, including a Gurbani rendition.What are your thoughts on Bhaag Milkha Bhaag? Let us know in the comments below.
