Film Half Girlfriend’s music album could well be one of the
biggest musicals ever that Arjun Kapoor is featuring in. Yes, Shraddha Kapoor
still has Aashiqui 2 to her name, considering her association with director
Mohit Suri in the past as well. But now that she is the leading character in
Half Girlfriend along with Arjun Kapoor, one assumes yet another hit album that
would enthrall the viewers.

1. Song Baarish
The album begins with song Baarish. It is a track that one
would like to sing to his or her loved one on a rainy evening. Lyrics by Arafat
Mehmood & Tanishk Bagchi are just the kind that would make one's heart melt
away and this actually turns out to be good team work, considering the effort
that Ash King and Shashaa Tirupati put together behind the mike. It is a melodious
one.
2. Song Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga
The next song is Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga. Mithoon and Manoj
Muntashir are the designers of this song as the composer and the lyricist and
they do not upset as Arijit Singh comes on board for the first version along
with Shashaa Tirupati. While Arijit proves once more that he is the master of
the genre when it comes to songs like these, Shashaa is a surprise as she gives
a good account of herself despite being a newbie in the world of playback
singing.
3. Song Pal Bhar
The next one is Arijit’s Pal Bhar, which is 'Chaahunga
Reprise', you do give a nod of approval as slowly and gradually the sound of
'Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga' begins to settle down. This is the reason why once
'Half Girlfriend Love Theme' comes up towards the end, it acts as a good
instrumental version to keep echoing in your mind long after you are through
listening to the whole album.
4. Song Thodi Der
In the next song, newcomer Farhan Saeed coming up with Thodi
Der. Written by Kumaar, this one with Farhan and Shreya Ghoshal as the singers,
is a good continuation of 'Baarish' and 'Phir Bhi Main Tumko Chahunga', and in
the process brings on a trilogy of romantic numbers in Half Girlfriend. It is
remarkable to see how Mohit Suri has guaranteed consistent sound from his
musical crew.
5. Song Stay A Little Longer
The next song is an English version as Stay A Little Longer
by lyricist-singer Anushka Shahaney, though one waits to see how it is integrated
in the movie. Ishita Moitra Udhwani contributes with additional lyrics and it
is understandable that a couple of English numbers would feature in the film as
well due to its language divide theme.
6. Song Lost Without You
The next song is with Anushka Shahaney who pitches in as a
singer-lyricist for 'Lost Without You' where she has composer-singer Ami Mishra
for company. The team, with Kunaal Vermaa chipping in as well as a lyricist,
comes up with a decent situational track.
7. Song Tu Hi Hai
In the next one, newcomer lyricist Laado Suwalka contributes
with Sufi lyrics while composer-singer Rahul Mishra gives his soft rock touch
to song 'Tu Hi Hai'. Sounding a bit like 'Sun Raha Hai Na Tu' [Aashiqui 2] in
the opening portions, the song comes on its own soon after, what with the Sufi
turn making it sound like an Emraan Hashmi number from five years ago. A good
number, this one should good on screen.
8. Song Mere Dil Mein
The album ends with song Mere Dil Mein. A sung composed by
Rishi Rich, it is sung by his regular partner Veronica Mehta, who has Yash
Narvekar for company this time around. While they also play the role of the
lyricists for this fun track, they are also supported by R. Rekhi, Yash Anand
and Ishita Moitra Udhwani on the lyrics. A cool and happening number that
should catch fancy amongst the campus crowds.
In general, the music of Half Girlfriend is good and
melodious. It actually delivers a little more than what one had expected from
it.
The songs Mere Dil Mein, Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga and
Baarish are enjoyable and melodious numbers.
