EXPECTATIONS

From a movie that has terror as its background, you don't quite expect a commercial score that would cut across audience. With Kashmir as the setting, there is scope for good music though but then it is mainly expected to be situational and totally theme based. However, on closer look, it comes to one's notice that the composer here is Mithoon who has given some fantastic music for films like Anwar and The Train in the past. Also, he returns with his favourite lyricist Sayeed Quadri and that again makes one look forward to what does the 'jodi' have in offing for the music lovers here.
 
First thing that strikes on reading the credit details is the album's duration. Despite only six songs here, the duration is 41 minutes which makes every song lasting an average of 7 minutes. This is certainly far more than an average of 4-5 minutes that a regular song lasts. In fact there are a couple of songs that run for more than 8 minutes each which makes one wonder what exactly are they all about.
