Ramgopal Varma's Latest flick featuring his latest finds Antara Maali & Vivek Oberoi with Manoj Bajpai. Road is directed by Rajat Mukherjee who got acclaimed with his debut 'Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya'. Sandesh Shandilya of the K3G fame composes the music. Khilesh Sharma, Jaideep Sahni, Nitin Raikwar, Makrand Deshpande and Taabish Romani pen the lyrics, whereas the songs rendered by popular names like Sonu Nigam, Vinod Rathod, Sunidhi Chauhan, K K, Sanjeevani with new additions in the form of Mohit Chouhan, Amar Mohile Tannishtha and Gary Lawyer.

The album begins with a very sensous number 'Makhmali Ye Badan', which is already making waves over the satellite channels, thanks to the hot new find Antara Maali. Well, the music composition is as smooth as 'Makhmal' silk complimented with good lyrics. It definitely is a youth, romantic and a sensuous number. It did easily fit in the top 10's from day one. Sonu Nigam and Sanjeevani have rendered their voice for the song and have done a good job. Khilesh Sharma pens the lyric. The same song is later repeated again in the album.

'Raste Raste' is the next number rendered by the all rounder Sunidhi Chauhan and Vinod Rathod. The music is good and quite different. It's good to hear such experimental compositions, which is much required today. The lyric for the number is by Jaideep Sahni. This is a fast-slow number and neatly executed.


A rap kinda song is followed in the form of 'Khullam Khulla Pyar'. The lyric has to be very situational and will be definitely a hit for people on 'ROAD', i.e. while driving. The song has voices by Sonu Nigam & Sunidhi Chauhan. The lyric is by Khilesh Sharma. The music is at par with the tempo of the song and interestingly different.

The next number starts with a 'Toofan' with a very western music. 'Toofan Sa' is rendered by K K and Sunidhi Chauhan. Nitin Raikwar has composed the music for this number penned by him. The music is definitely different and gels well with the lyrics.

Makrand Deshpande pens 'Pehli Nazar Mein'. The song has voices by Mohit Chouhan and Sunidhi Chauhan. The music is unique with no particular direction. This song has some good pieces of Indian classical music. Sunidhi Chauhan has done a marvelous job.

'Road Rage' has voice by Amar Mohile and Tannishtha for music composed by Amar Mohile himself. The music is definitely is not for Bollywood. It is surprisingly so good that it might appear to be a foreign song.

'Road Ke Har Mod Pe' appears to be the title song rendered by Gary Lawyer and Tannishtha. Gary's rendition and the music composition are worth a special mention. The lyirc is special for the situation.

All an all 'Road' is value for money for real music lovers and that too specifically for people who like different kinds of music. It will be incomplete without given due credits to the producer and the director to try such music.
