Judai (Kamran Ahmed) – Last year it was Mustafa Zahid with To Pir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta. This year Kamran Ahmed is the Pakistani set to rock Bollywood. This is a good song, but if compared to the two gems by Mustafa Zahid in Awaarapan, it doesn’t quite measure up. Kamran scores the hattrick as the song has been written, composed and sung by him. Another pleasant rock track in this so far so good soundtrack!

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Judai (Singer: Kamran Ahmed, Richa Sharma)
Rating: 8/10
Kamran Ahmed plays many roles for Judai. He is the composer, lyricist and singer of this fantastic track, which is on its way to become the path breaking number. The rock based track is heavily orchestrated. Richa Sharma too puts in her soulful vocals in the backdrop.
Judai – Kilogram Mix (Singer: Kamran Ahmed, Richa Sharma)
Rating: 7/10
The Kilogram Mix is a runaway hit. The song is innovatively remixed with the basic essence of the track kept in its place. However, the original track is much better in totality.

After Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Atif Aslam and Mustafa Zahid, Bhatts introduce a new voice from Pakistan in the form of Kamran Ahmed who writes, composes and sings Judai. Starting off with mellow guitar strumming, the song grows on you with an instantly infectious tune. Kamran’s voice has that typical texture distinctive of our neighbouring country singers. An un-credited female voice plays in the background which in most probability belongs to Richa Sharma as she takes the lead in the female version of the same song.
The usually rustic Richa Sharma sings on rather lower notes and sounds somber in Lambi Judai . But she gets to be her usual self intermittently in the alaaps which is reminiscent of ‘Rabba’ (Musafir). With no difference in the musical arrangements, the male version ends up being more appealing than the female for the texture of the vocals. The Kilogram Mix (whatever that means) of Judai is just modified with faster pace to be a dance track.
