First things first - Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
takes time to sink in. Music here is not bad by any
means but it is not instant coffee that hooks on to
audience in the very first listening. In fact one
has to give the album a hearing - once, twice,
thrice - and it is only then that the songs start
registering themselves. This is what is evidenced in
'Yeh Des Hai Mera' which reminds one of the namesake
tracks in Swades. However, the mood, treatment and
setting of the song is totally different here as the
revolutionaries get together to see that light at
the end of the tunnel. Sung by Sohail Sen himself,
this soft sounding number has a distinct Rahman
touch to it and gives the album an expected start.
