Ekla Chalo is a bengali song done with a good orchestra support.
Des Ki Mitti about Subhash Chandra Bose reminiscing about his land. Once again, Sonu Nigam shines with his hypnotic rendition.
Ghoomparani is the last of the lyrical tracks in the album. A soft, melodious number with some lines in Bengali.
The rest of the tracks are themes from the movie depicting the various phases of the great INDIAN Bose.
Overall the album may not be hitting the charts becos of its not very commercial but it will definitely win the hearts of the critics.
