Telugu megastar Mahesh Babu's Okkadu gets a Hindi version with 2 States star, Arjun Kapoor taking over the responsibility in Tevar produced by his father and uncle (Boney Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor). In this high voltage action movie includes stars as Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee. With the promos by now creating quite a stir, the soundtrack has also created the curiosity of the audience. Composers Sajid-Wajid known for their commercial and lively compositions have been roped in for this movie and therefore one can definitely expect a mass-friendly soundtrack here.

The album begins with Superman. It is the last tribute by a self-confessed fan (Arjun Kapoor) to his bollywood idol (Salman Khan)! The fact is that this track has been composed by another Salman devotee, Sajid-Wajid. In fact, getting Wajid to go behind the mike is a stroke of genius in itself particularly so because Wajid's voice seems to suit Arjun to a tee. The composition itself is pretty lively and memorable and Wajid's singing serves to only highlight it further while Sajid, Kausar Munir and Danish Sabri show their vital devotion to Salman with their words. With its lively and rhythmic beats already making it dance-worthy, the remix version is sure to pull you into the dance floor!

The next song is Radha Nachegi which gives you an impression of a classical number. In fact, this is a wonderful cocktail of western and Indian sounds with the kind of spunk needed for a movie in this genre. Billed as Sonakshi's introduction number, Radha Nachegi has the lively voice of Ritu Pathak who manages the classical and western twists outstandingly well to give the listener a marvelous dance number. Kausar Munir's lyrics are quite modern and fit in the setting though there is sure to be some criticism about the wisdom of using words like 'Radha Nachegi' and 'music bajega loud' in the same line.

The next song is Dutch-Pakistani Singer’s debut in Bollywood with Lets Celebrate and unluckily it is not exactly a brilliant one. With a high amount of EDM and techno beats managing to drown out the Punjabi-hindi-english lyrical cocktail (Imran Khan), the only words one might end up clearly hearing is Lets Celebrate! Sonakshi Sinha has also been credited as Imran's co-singer but honestly it is quite difficult to hear her vocals due to background music.

The next one is Joganiya track with its rock-led arrangement metamorphosing into an intense, romantic yet melancholic song. Shruti Haasan manages to spring a surprise with her influential vocals managing to convey the intensity of the emotions inherent in this ditty. Sajid-Wajid's fondness for grandeur is visible in the track's mood shift from melancholic to haunting to full-on passion. Kausar Munir's lyrics are bang on and fit well with the mood of the song.

The next one is the mandatory 'item number' Madamiyan with Mika Singh and Mamta Sharma. The composition is loud, crass and utterly predictable and at best is a poor man's Munni Badnaam. Sajid-Wajid reuses their usual 'item number' sounds for this entirely avoidable track written yet again by Kausar Munir.

The last track is a soulful romantic melody in this album; Shafqat Amanat Ali is here with Main Nai Jaana Pardes. The opening notes of this track transports you literally into musical heaven but the follow-up is not fairly convincing, though melodious nevertheless. Also, the pace is a tad too slow which can get weary.

The songs for Tevar are a blend of all the fast paced numbers like Superman, Madamiyan and Radha Nachegi and is OK.

In general, the soundtrack of Tevar is quite an assorted bag and songs like Superman, Radha Nachegi and Joganiya are tuneful and lively.
