Venus, Rs 99
Sajid-Wajid go the melodious way for some ‘90s flavour melodies. The standout tracks are KK’s expertly-rendered Tu mujhe soche kabhi, Trishna trishna dil (Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan) and Tauba tauba (Sunidhi-Wajid). The three-version Milne ko nahin aaye (Shaan/Sunidhi/Shaan-Sunidhi together) is also a pleasant number.

Koi Aanay Wala Hai
Sony-BMG, Rs 175
The latest Strings album is for fans of this band and such music. The lead track is good but the mukhda sounds has a hangover of their own song Dhani. The lyrics are functional and superficial, the singing ditto and Jab bhi main and Titliyan pass muster. A disappointment for music buffs who expect more from a talented band.

Vi. Vaa. Kusumagraj
Times Music, Rs 295
This 3-CD premium pack showcases the popular legend that was Kusumagraj in Marathi literature and culture. The 2 audio CDs include 41 of his poems in his own voice, 3 poems translated into Hindi by Gulzar, a self-confessed major fan of the writer and a video CD with Sonali Kulkarni’s introduction, Vishwanath - Ek Shimpi, a Marathi short film that won an award at the Third Eye Asian Film Festival - 2007 and Sachin Khedekar’s narration of Sataariche Bol, both stories written by Kusumagraj.

Zara Sa…
