When lyrics like 'We will rock you - We will shock you' open a club track, one wonders if this is going to be yet another 'wannabe cool' number. An extended English passage arrives next in 'Rock The World' which is a dance floor number rendered by Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan. The number has a strong 80s hangover both from the tune and orchestra perspective and there isn't much enticing about it even as it gets into a core Anu Malik territory in it's subsequent portions. The song later comes twice as a solo by Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan each but not to much avail!

Well, if 'Rock The World' was average then let's say 'picture abhi baaki hai mere dost'! That's because 'New Age Mantra' which follows is so pedestrian that one just wishes to pronto move on the next track. Kunal Ganjawala and Sunidhi Chauhan come together in this youth centric club track where Anu Malik completely looses the plot. In fact, two minutes into the song and one starts wondering whether composers of yesteryears themselves never ever realize that they are going wrong and are hardly able to catch up with today's times! Worse, 'New Age Mantra' too makes a twin repeat appearance with a Sunidhi and Kunal solo.

The best track of the album comes in the form of 'Almadad Chere Khuda Mera Yaar' which is a Zubin Garg solo. With a 'sufi' base to it, the song is in the same mode as numerous other imports from Pakistan and isn't a bad hear at all. In fact the 'alaap' which happens in the background comes pretty close to that of 'Woh Lamhe' that was heard in Zeher and keeps the overall racy feel of the track intact. A song about being passionately in love with the one you love and not able to live a moment in his/her absence, 'Almadad' could well be pitched as the flagship song of the album.

It's time for some seduction with the arrival of 'Hum Hein Tum Ho', which should be picturised on the second lead heroine of the film Monishka. Set in night with the girl going all out to seduce the man of her dreams, the number is yet another average composition which only has its arrangements pepping up the scenario. Rest should be left for Monishka to ignite the scene since this Sunidhi Chauhan sung number doesn't quite come out of the time wrap.

Well, just like Anamika, even Hastey Hastey isn't quite a comeback project for Anu Malik. Thankfully he doesn't make an outrageously bad tune per se but except for 2-3 tracks, the album doesn't quite succeed. With 'Almadad' carrying maximum punch and 'Bheegi Bheegi' working quite well for its melodious feel, Hastey Hastey in the end turns out to be barely 'theek-thaak' album.
