‘Tu Jaane Na’

Singer: Atif Aslam

Album – Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)

Composer: Pritam Chakraborty

This song opens with a chorus eerily similar to ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja’ from the soundtrack of Jodhaa Akbar (by A.R. Rahman). That sing-along, deep throated chorus leads to a tabla infused beat over which Atif sings about love, and the not-so-literal distance between two lovers. The chorus repeats during the song with Atif’s characteristic alaaps, and the song tends to grow on you.

Verdict: A cue from A.R. Rahman or the classical influence of Coke Studio? Either way, good on Atif for having two songs in the same film.
