Jackpot ' is a story of a married couple played by Himanshu Malik and Meghna Naidu who realize one fine day that they have hit a "Jackpot" when they come across a stack of fortune. Directed by Sameer L Baadkar, 'Jackpot' seems to be a result of the trend that began in 2004 when the combination of thrills and sex seemed to be a 'Jackpot' for its makers. With 2005 not coming up with optimal results for such flicks, it all depends upon the actual merits of the movie to be able to excite the moviegoer. With Sayaji Shinde in a supporting starcast, 'Jackpot' promises some groovy tunes by DJ Phukan. ' Mehbooba ' surprises you at the very beginning of the album with its superb arrangements that take you on a love ride. Both the lead singers sing with their heart IN and put up a good show. Full marks to DJ Phukan for coming up with a haunting melody that stands out, especially the title word ' Mehbooba ' that is quite effective in an echo effect (never mind a distinct similarity with ' Anjaana Anjaani ' from ' Yuva '). Cinematography is cool as well that preps up the proceedings. All said and done, this is one of the better songs both Himanshu and Meghna have been a part of in their short career so far.

Calypso music forms the base of the 'fun-on-the-beach' number ' Rom Rom Jal Jaaye '. Shaan, as always, enjoys his time behind the mike and makes the number exciting enough to invite people to join the party. OK, so it is not the chartbuster of the year but then succeeds well in making the party lovers dance to its tune. This one turns out to be another enjoyable number. From an album like 'Jackpot', there was a 'nothing' expectation to begin with! But with ' Mehooba ' and ' Rom Rom ', one feels that it has already been money's worth. This is exactly the reason why one is not immensely disappointed inspite of a bad song in the form of raunchy ' Khullam Khulla Pyaar Hai Tu Loot Le ' set on tribal tune! It is quite garish on the ears when the male chorus starts crooning ' khalbali khabali ' while the female singer keeps proving herself time and again as ' chulbuli '. Ignorance is the best way of just moving on. The surprise part of the song is Udit Narayan who makes an appearance after a couple of minutes and the heartening part is his commitment to even such a number that doesn't have any stakes whatsoever. Title song ' Jackpot ' brings back the techno-groovy feel to the album that again starts moving on the fast track with this number. A rap number about the greed for money, power and all the luxuries in the life, if only one is able to hit the 'Jackpot', sets the context of the movie there and then and lays the cards clear. This one should be quite effective if placed in the title sequence and then intermittently during the defining situations in the movie. The second version of the title song 'Jackpot' is even more interesting as it narrates the pitfalls when the lead protagonists actually hit the 'Jackpot'. Again a rap number that does well for a situation like this, it turns out to be entertaining due to the reversed fortunes. It has to be admitted that after hearing both the versions of the title song, one does get a wee bit interested in watching the movie!! For an album like ' Jackpot ', it is a definite bonus when one hears two romantic melodies that have been minting money for the album company for a couple of years now - ' Tere Naam - title song ' and ' Maine Jisko Dil Ye Diya Hai - Muskaan '. Frankly, one doesn't get tired of hearing these numbers, especially the title song of ' Tere Naam ' and does feel satisfied with the final outcome of the album. Overall Jackpot.
