Akshay Kumar’s dark-comedy blockbuster Bachchhan Paandey boasts a soundtrack that complements the film’s irreverent vitality and multifaceted plot. On bilingual album opener “Maarkhayegaa”—a spectacular introduction to the movie’s eponymous gangster lead—electronic bleeps and blistering percussion make a vehicle for gruff, macho vocals. The album’s highlight is playback star B Praak, who delivers stirring, back-to-back solo performances on the soulful love ballad “Meri Jaan Meri Jaan” and festive anthem “Saare Bolo Bewafa”.
