With a grand circus as the backdrop, a stunning Isha Sherwani matching steps with Hrithik, Russian dancers, clowns, colours - it is the perfect high energy �item' song. Mahalaxmi Iyer and Amit Paul lend their voies to �Pyaar Ki Dastaan', a beautiful romantic duet. �Yeh Aaj Kya Ho Gaya' supported by the powerful Sunidi Chauhan and picturised on Konkona Sen Sharma captures Javed Akhtar at his best. �Sapnon Se Bhare Naina' stands out as the song of the album.
