Niki Debruin
In a soundtrack review, Syed Firdaus Ashraf of Rediff.com states, "It will disappoint you at first, but if you listen to it repeatedly, the music will grow on you."[46] Ashraf felt that "Kyon Hawa", sung by Sonu Nigam, was the best song in the album.[46] Derek Elley of Variety agrees with Ashraf on the first point, writing, "While not instantly hummable, they do the job effectively."[47] In a review of "Tere Liye", a Sify editor writes, "Madan Mohan's mastery with tunes is quite apparent in this number, parts of which are used often in the movie."[48] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama rated it 4 stars out of 5, writing, "Veer-Zaara is a mixed bag varying from a rich collection of love songs to emotional tracks to a patriotic number, a qawwali, a folk song and a ghazal. While the first half of the album is instantly appealing the second half will slowly grow on you."[49] A reviewer for the BBC applauded the album, calling it "unique and special".[50]
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it 4.5 stars out of five and comments, "There's romance, there's a strong dose of emotions, there're songs aplenty, there's drama... But, most important, it has soul, which has been lacking in most movies of late".[76] Writing for India Today, Kaveree Bamzai gave a positive review and compliments Khan's performance, writing, "Khan strides across Aditya Chopra's screenplay with assured ease."[77] Subhash K. Jha gave Veer-Zaara a positive review for Indo-Asian News Service, praising the performances of the leads as "old yet passionate, frail yet sublime" and writes, "The surge of love between two people belonging to entirely different cultures and lands is collected into a quaint and quivering collage of memory and melody."[78]
Carrie R. Wheadon of Common Sense Media gives it four stars out of five and rates it as 11+, writing, "Those who watch can't miss the pleas for understanding and peace between India and Pakistan or the film's strong support of equality for women." She compliments the picturization of the songs, opening, "Even the slower love songs will hold viewers, especially as Zaara dreams about seeing Veer everywhere while she prepares for her wedding."[90] Manish Gajjar of BBC commented, "Veer-Zaara has a great storyline with some unpredictable twists and emotions, keeping you engrossed throughout."[91]
Do pal has outstanding lyrics, and is a very touching song. Sonu Nigam has done a good job in this.
But the best song in the album is undoubtedly Kyon hawa, again sung by Sonu Nigam. Lata Mangeshkar accompanies him, along with a narration by Yash Chopra.
The qawwali Aaya tere dar par sung by Ahmed Hussain and Mohammed Hussain will take you back to the 1960s. But the song seems to be a mismatch when heard against the contemporary music. It does not fall into the same category as Tumse milke dil ka haal in Farah Khan's Main Hoon Na.
Lodi by Gurdas Mann and Lata Mangeshkar is the usual Punjabi song. It's good but does not match Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge's hit, Mehndi laga kar rakhna.
I wonder why two songs, Tum paas aa rahe ho (sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Jagjit Singh) and Jaane kyon (Lata Mangeshkar) are not included in the audio cassette, and the movie as well. These two feature exclusively on CDs.
Due credit must be given to Javed Akhtar for his outstanding lyrics. Madan Mohan's son Sanjeev Kohli -- also the CEO of Yash Raj Films -- recreated the music, and RS Mani has arranged it.
All the male singers have done a commendable job but Lata Mangeshkar disappoints. If you compare her voice now to some of her earlier songs like Naina barse of Woh Kaun Thi, you will be disappointed.
If you love classical music, then Veer-Zaara's music will definitely appeal to you. But if you prefer funky music like that in Dhoom, this is not for you!
In another move to promote curiosity about his new film, Yash Chopra has not allowed radio and television stations to air songs from Veer-Zaara for a while. Yash Raj Films has tied up with MTV to offer exclusive clips from his film, as well as catch up on Chopra's earlier hits.
"Instinctively, I blurted that I had some old world melodies on tape, now not heard for 28 years. He seemed excited at the idea and very surprised that I had never mentioned this before. His son, Aditya Chopra was scripting the new film. Adi was a man of today and needed commercially acceptable songs. There was no place for nostalgia and emotions here. Only Yashji and Adi knew what they needed. I didn't."
Javed Akhtar, who made his debut as a lyricist in Silsila, worked again with Yash Chopra over two decades later in this film. Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar was 75 years old at the time, and she sang the songs as these tunes were originally composed by Madan Mohan decades ago, for her to sing.
"Yashji was clear that only Lataji would sing the female songs and that thrilled me because all Madanji tunes were made only for Lataji and it would have been incomplete if she did not sing them. But at the same time it concerned me. It would be so challenging for her to sing for Madanji again after 30 years.
"And what a coincidence that Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini danced to his tunes again and once again his songs were on the top of the charts for almost an entire year, and he finally won many popular awards," Kohli stated.
