Acid Factory’s first track Yeh Jism Jo has amber like fluidity flowing out of the music box, as the singer evocatively harks on the body beautiful.

The techno lace weaving in and out of the rhythm gives the song a bounce you can sway as well as swing to. Wedged between a dance and a ballad, this song is surely a mean cut.

In Khatti Meethi you get a Britney Spears flavour of the kind one heard from the pop diva years ago in her song I’m A Slave For You. The heavy breathing on the track is surely going to smoke things up on the dance floor. Mansi Scott eerily sounds like Alisha Chinoy.

Jab Andhera Hota Hai, that classic Asha Bhonsle – RD Burman song is covered here to give the film a decidedly racy edge, and with enough groove to re-launch the track on the dance floor in new threads. This is the age of remix, so why not cash on it. However, the track is made slower here, giving it a languid mood to spiral in.

Vasundhara Das, of the husky smoky voice fame, who rarely makes an appearance on film scores these days, return from some corner in Kone Kone Mein. She sings under her breath, a track, which could have been macabre given its underlined lyric about escaping under the shadow of predators. Sadly, it’s routine.

In Raftaar the crooner snakes between speeding sounds of zipping hot wheels to yodel about what else…raftaar. Doesn’t seem out of place from an Emran Hashmi film. ‘Raftaar hai zindagi’ is the strain which is repeated throughout, and we would have liked to hear something more original. On the whole, there's a lot to look forward to in the music of 'All The Best'. Pritam has done a great job and so has lyricist Kumaar.
