Sachin-Jigar are flying high this year with chartbusting music in successful films like GO GOA GONE and RAMAIYA VASTAVAIYA, and now we have Shuddh Desi Romance

The two Chauhans, Mohit and Sunidhi, are outstanding in 'Tere Mere Beech Mein', a number that one warms up to instantly due to the easy to hum, infectious tune, the superb chorus and great music arrangements that comprises of instruments like guitar, accordion, sax and street sounds like horn, whistles. 

Jigar Saraiya and Priya (Panchal) Saraiya team up for 'Gulabi', a sort of a tribute to the pink city, Jaipur, where the film is based. It is a lovely composition that has a dew fresh tune composed around Rajasthani folk and embellished with Hindustani musical instruments like harmonium, table and 'sarangi'. 

Rock and raga' fusion along with folk form the backbone of 'Chanchal Man Ati Random', a unique number that etches out the travails of the restless flirty heart in an entertaining manner. The highlight of the track are the superb humorous lyrics with folk lingo (Hindi and English) and Divya Kumar's emotive rendition. 

The title track 'Shuddh Desi Romance' is nothing to write home about The 'antara' is nice with retro and pop fusion and is quite catchy. Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgode do the needful with zest and vigor. 

There are five instrumentals in the album, 'Mujhe Kiss Kar Sakte Ho', 'Love In Jaipur', 'Tez Wala Attraction, 'Boyfriend Banoge' and 'Bhanwara Ma Bhatke'.

Lovely accordion, thrilling Spanish guitar, cello and piano base make up the over two minute long instrumental, 'Mujhe Kiss Kar Sakte Ho'. 

'Love In Jaipur' is a superb fusion of Rajasthani folk inspired from 'Pallo Latke' (NAUKAR) and jazz and Priya Panchal's earthy, nasal vocals are used in repeated Rajasthani chorus. 

'Tez Wala Attraction' is based on 'Chanchal Man Ati Random' folk tune.


'Boyfriend Banoge' too is an instrumental based on yet another song, 'Gulabi', although the start in bursts and pieces adds to confusion . 

'Bhanwara Ma Bhatke' is not quite an instrumental but more of a short remix with lots of added pace and rhythm and Divya Kumar's broken, repetitive folksy vocals. 

Sachin-Jigar  have delivered an interesting track and one looks forward to the movie release.
