If <I>Bas Ek Pal</i> was the calling card of Mithoon who shot to limelight with <I>Tere Bin</i> then you watch out for Gaurav Dayal. He may well see good things happening for him in months to come if Sorry Bhai is any indication. The songs bear a certain quality to them and bring with them the kind of sound that spells quality. Let's play them on to see how Gaurav has come together with lyricist Amitabh Varma to promise another successful soundtrack.
Soft rock has been the genre where K.K. has never failed in and <I>Mere Khuda</i> is no exception. A brilliant track that has some never-heard-before lyrics by Amitabh, <I>Mere Khuda</i> is a number which could well be the <I>Tere Bin</i> moment of Sorry Bhai.
A romantic ballad follows next in the form of <I>Pal</i> which has an urban contemporary feel to it and belongs to the pop genre. Sung in a soft and cool mood by Sunidhi Chauhan and newcomer Chayan Adhikari (who is just 21), <I>Pal</i> is the kind of number that you wish was played in the background as you had a candle light rendezvous with your loved one.
Guest composer Vivek Phillip makes a contribution with the title song <I>Sorry Bhai</i> for which he also writes the English lyrics.
A promotional track which goes with the theme of the film and is sung by K.K., Sunidhi Chauhan and Abhishek Nailwal, 'Sorry Bhai' brings with it a feel good factor that should keep the smiles on.
After <I>Mere Khuda</i>, the number which impresses most is <i>Jalte Hain</i>. In the process it also explains how the same song could sound so different when sung by two different singers.
Finally arrives the English track <I>Some Times</i> which is rendered by prominent Jazz singer Nanette Natal. A kind of number which brings with it just the kind of sound that plays on in background as you have a quite-n-nice dinner with your beloved in an up-market hotel, <I>Some Times</i> has an extremely classy feel to it and should manage to find an audience for itself in the long run, just like <I>Rock On</i> did once the film hit theaters.
On the whole the soundtrack creates a hat trick of soulful numbers. Go for it!
