Satya 2

Music: Nitin Raikwar, Sanjeev-Darshan and Shree-Isshq
Critic's Rating: **
Leonard Victor and Shweta Pandit sing Tu Nahi, a track composed by Nitin Raikwar, that starts out promisingly but ends up sounding like a mish-mash of sets we’ve heard before (one part sounded a lot like Yuvvraaj’s Tu Muskura).
Payel Aditiya Dev sings Special, an item number composed by Sanjeev-Darshan that’s all noise, no substance.Next is Maangne Se, the title track composed by Sanjeev and Darshan and sung by them along with Argha Bannerjee. Meant to be a gritty introduction to the title character, it lacks bite. Palkon Se follows. Sung by Rishi Singh and Shweta Pandit and composed by Raikwar, it is a forgettable track.
Saathi Re, another Raikwar composition sung by Rishi and Tishika Jain, however, is a much better listen. Taaqat comes next. Sung by Hricha Narayan, Jolly Mukherjee and Sanjeev, it sounds a lot like a street play. Control is next. A Shree-Isshq composition, Sonny Ravan and Shree D bring the city’s cacophony alive.
Payel and Mohd Irfan singing Veerani, composed by Sanjeev Darshan is one of the few things that try hard to make this album work. Composer-lyricist Kary Arora’s Satya Is Back Again brings up the rear. With dialogue by Makrand Deshpandey and screeched (yes, not sung!) by Arsalaan Akhoon along with Arora, it tries to hard to be different.
A little too hard. A tighter soundtrack might have saved the day. This one fails to.
