The initial beats of the music that touches the ears gives enough evidence that the talented music director Pritam, is all set to capture people’s hearts. New York Music is young and has inspiring lyrics with melodic compositions and makes a fine new addition to the YRF Music label. 

Hai Junoon begins the album. The movie is centrally based on friendship and it is summarized beautifully in this song.

Focused on John and Katrina, Mere Sang has been shot in several locations of New York. 

A slow emotional number rendered in the voice of Mohit Chauhan, is Tune Jo Na Kaha. Sandeep Srivastava wrote it beautifully and Pritam superbly composed it and will surely become one of his new masterpieces. Many musical breaks in the rhythm of the song are seen and a wonderfully written flute solo in the music interlude. Unrequited love is depicted in Tune Jo Kaha and also contains very hummable melody which will stay with you for a long time. Tune Jo Na Kaha is filmed on Neil and Katrina. 

Pankaj Awasthi sung and composed Aye Saye Mere is a Sufi rock number. It is mixed artistically with a raw and rustic vocals and a wonderful variety of Indian and Western instruments. This track though having Sufi character has a very contemporary feel to it. IT is very evocative and compelling due to the lyrics by Junaid Wasi. The soul of the movie is captured philosophically by this track. 

After Aye Saye, here comes the fast paced Remixes of Hai Junoon and Mere Sang – both composed by Julius Packiam. This remixes are very catchy and danceable club numbers and has a great groove. It is sure you will have your feet tapping and head swinging after hearing them.

Sam’s theme comes at different stages of the movie and is the backbone of the background score of the film. Sam’s Theme is uplifted with a hauntingly beautiful violin solo.

Julius Packiam has superbly composed and arranged the New York Theme that rounds up the album. Energy is infused in the piece with the heavy percussion and a great guitar solo giving it a very international feel.

Moreover, two music videos choreographed by Ahmed Khan have been picturised on the remix versions of Hai Junoon and Mere Sang.

The Hai Junoon remix music video shows the three friends having a blast on the cluttered terrace of a New York skyscraper and is filmed on John, Katrina and Neil. The video shows the endearing bond that exists between the three and also the lighthearted moments shared amongst these friends.

Katrina Kaif light heartedly flirts with the camera in the Mere Sang remix music video which is picturised on her. Katrina draws the audience into a magical world with the song bringing out hope and true love.
