Aishwarya too enters with stars turning producers bandwagon with her maiden production Dil Ka Rishta, however she has given the reins in hands of her brother Aditya Rai along with Shabbir Boxwala. The story is by her mother Vrinda Rai. Besides Ash herself, the movie has Arjun Rampal, Lisa Ray newcomer Priyanshu and Isha Kopikar. DKR is directed by Naresh Malhotra, whose last direction Kranti bombed at the box office. Music is by Nadeem Shravan and lyrics are penned by Sameer. The music is much hyped and is considered to one of the best by the duo, however it's just the same like many romantic compositions of Nadeem Shravan.

The first song on the album is 'Saajan Saajan', which starts of with a throaty voice of Sapna Avasthi, which reminds us of the Pardesi Pardesi of Raja Hindustani. After the start, Alka Yagnik takes over followed by Kumar Sanu. It sounds like a situational number. One can expect something better from Sameer, but... As everyone has a song in 2 version, DKR is no special. Jaspinder Narula renders the second version and she wins the race with Alka Yagnik.

'Haye dil' is a romantic duet by Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu (Nadeem Shravan's favourites). While the music and the lyrics are nothing great, it is Alka Yagnik who steals the show with the voice. Overall an average song.

The title song 'Dil Ka Rishta' is again by Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu along with Udit Narayan. The song is best in the album. Nadeem Shravan's simple music excels and so does the singing. Sameer's lyrics are just typical. This song too has her twin sister, which is a really sad version. Babool Supriyo and Sarika Kapoor renders this number, which is equally good.

'Dayya dayya re' is a solo item number and as you guessed, the jhatka-makta's are by Aishwarya. Alka Yagnik rendered the song in her usual manner with no innovation. The other elements music and lyrics too can't save the song. The only thing worth is the song would be Ash's dance and it has helped it remain in the charts.
