Salaam Namaste was my most awaited album fo the year I mean when I saw the first promo Saif and Preity the most coolest and the cutest couple made me so eager for it and the movie here are my other reason
1) First Yasraj has deliver 4 excellent movie with excellent songs
2)Vishal and Shekhar hada excellent time in DUS
3)Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta coming together as a pair after a rocking Kal Ho Na Ho. Also they get into a change of image from their last major roles in Parineeta and Veer Zaara respectively
So let get to know the album
1) The first song is the title song Salaam Namaste.. Kunal Ganjawala does a great job in sounding 100% as Saif Ali Khan and while Vasundhara Das doesn’t exactly come across as a Preity Zinta voice, her ’videshi andaaz’ gives the number an exotic touch. It goes slow and then fast and again slow and fast it Magic!!!
Ratings :- 8.7/10
2)The second song which I like the most is named ’’ My dil goes mmmm’’This time its Shaan’s turn to give a near-perfect rendition for Saif Ali Khan while Gayatri Iyer is his duet partner. The song seems to be ’inspired’ by ’Ladki Kyon’ [Hum Tum] with the difference being that while ’Ladki Kyon’ was more as the battle of the sexes, ’My Dil’ gets more up close and personal with personal likes and little squabbles between the lead pair which seems to be living in together. The tunes is so prefect as welll as the rhythm you cant stop humming it and it is a very melodious track.
Ratings:- 9.5/10
3)The next is a kind of hip song named What going on. After Vasundhara Das and Gayatri Iyer, here comes Sunidhi Chauhan.A rhythmic song set in a western mode, it is a ’beat one-beat two’ kind of a soft track seemingly set on dark and empty streets in the night. Kunal Ganjawala gives company to Sunidhi in this ’conversation’ song that is also reminiscent of the style of 70s. It also quite enjoyable in the end .
Rating :- 9/10
4) The fourth song is also a sucess named ’’Tu Jahaan’’. This time it is Mahalaxmi Iyer who pairs up with Sonu Nigam .This has one fo the best tune with good lyrics and you are sure to like it .Once again Sonu Nigam has his art of these type of song.
Rating :- 9/10
5) After this come a mind blowing song. An ’English Club Mix’ of ’My Dil Goes Mmmm’ turns out to be the best track of the album due to its enhanced pace and is easily a promotional material in the same genre as Tata Young’s ’Dhoom Machale’. Expect this rocking English version remixed by DJ Aqeel and sung by Kunal Ganjawala and upcoming Caralisa Monteiro to rock the show a week in advance to the movie’s release. The instrumental of the same ’Mix’ version does the trick again, hence turning out to be a total discotheque material!
Rating :-10/10
6)Next to come is the ’Dhol Mix’ of the title song ’Salaam Namaste’, which is remixed by Nikhil Chinappa and Naved. Unlike the case of remix of ’My Dil’, here the pace of the song remains the same with a few beats added here and there. Though one doesn’t mind this version coming up, it is not much different from the original.
Rating :- 8/10
7) The last is the instrument of my dil goes mmm which is excellent and again your sure to like it .
Ratings :- 8.5/10
Trust me this has the best song of the year 2005 .
Overall rating :-9/10

Hindi Lyrics:
ek din ek pal ek janiya
(ek din ek pal ek janiya
one day, one moment, one life
aaj hain kal phir udd jaaniya
udd jaaniya - 3) - 2
it’s there today and flown away tomorrow
aa mil jaa phir gale, haste haste
so take me, smilingly, in your arms
salaam namaste - 8
hello...
jhoomte saare yeh nazare hain
the whole atmosphere is swaying
jaan lo inka matlab yeh ishaare hain
understand what they mean; they are a sign
kaam ke kitni yeh bahaare hain
these sights add to the feeling
beetey pal do pal mein yeh sab deewane hain
in just a few moments everyone is crazy
jara hadh toh uthana thoda angada ko paana dil dil se milana mere jaaniya
let’s cross all limits while our hearts meet in each other’s arms my love
mera waqt suhana ban jaayega bahana kambaqt zamana mere janiya
my beautiful moments will become an excuse because of this unfortunate world, my love
mere janiya - 3
aa mil jaa phir gale, haste haste
salaam namaste - 8
raah mein chalte milta hai koi
while walking along you meet someone
dekh ke teri khushiyaan khilta hai koi
who blooms when you are happy
haske kar lena baat tu koi
smile while you face the world
dekhna teri kismat jaagi ya soyi
and see if your luck is sleeping or awake
loot jaaye jindgaani jo bhi kehni sunani
life will pass, so whatever you want to say
keh de woh kahani mere janiya
tell that story, my love
teri meri yeh jawani ek baar hain yeh aani
our youth will come only once
phir khatam kahani mere jaaniya
after that the story is over, my love
mere jaaniya - 3
aa mil jaa phir gale haste haste
salaam namaste - 8
Salaam|Namaste - My dil goes mmmm..
aati hai woh aaise chal ke, jaise ?jannat mein rehti hain
the way she walks, it’s like she’s come from heaven
dekhti hain sabko aaise, jaise sabko woh sehti hain
the way she looks at everyone is like she’s just tolerating them
par gusse mein jab aaye, aur ankhein woh dikhlaye
but when she gets angry and her eyes sparkle
ladte ladte galti se muskaaye
and while fighting a smile slips from her
my dil goes mmmmmm....4x
my heart goes mmmmmm
karti hoon jab usse baatein, lagta hain sone wala hain
when I talk to him he looks like he’s falling asleep
soke jab jabbhi woh jaage, lagta hain rone wala hain
when he wakes up he looks like he’s about to cry
par chupke se woh aaye, meri neend se mujhe jagaye
but when he creeps up on me and wakes me up
le baahon mein aur khud hi gir jaaye
and falls down while taking me in him arms
my dil goes mmmmmm....4x
my heart goes mmmmmm
haan, woh na na karti hai
yes, she says no a lot
haan bada akadti hain
she gets angry a lot
haan thodi si ziddi hai
yea, she’s a little stubborn
haan akal se piddi hai
and small in the brains dept.
jaate hain sab aaye, na aaye woh jaati hain
she goes when people come and comes when they leave
tedhi in baaton se mujhko ?satati hain
she drives me crazy with these idiosyncracies
har waqt se pehle aana sunna na koi bahana
she comes early and doesn’t listen to excuses
par dekhna mera rasta rozana
but when she waits for me everyday
my dil goes mmmmmm....4x
my heart goes mmmmmm
haan picture mein rota hai
yes, he cries in movies
haan khulle mooh sota hai
and sleeps with his mouth open
haan zara nalayak hain
yea, hes a little foolish
haan pitne ke layak hain
and needs to be given a beating
jaane kya kehta hai jaane kya karta hai
who knows what he says and does
sofe pe chadhta hain pardon se ladta hai
he stands on sofas and fights with the curtains
jab karne lage safaai samjho ke shaamat aayi
when he starts cleaning it’s like a disaster zone
fir thak ke jab leta hai angdaai
then when he tiredly stretches his limbs
my dil goes mmmmmm....4x
my heart goes mmmmmm
haan thodi alag si hain
yea, she’s a little different
haan thodi galat si hain
and a little wrong
haan thoda alag sa hain
yes, he’s a little different
haan thoda galat sa hain
and a little wrongg ?
aaisi bhi hogi woh aaisa na socha tha
i didn’t think she’d be this way
aaisa hi hoga woh aaisa hi socha tha
i knew he’d be this way
kyon lagta hai yeh apna
why does he feel like mine
yeh sach hai ya hain sapna
is this real or a dream
dar lagta hain kahin ho na jaaye jhuth
i’m afraid this will all turn out to be false
my dil goes mmmmmm.... 12x
my heart goes mmmmmm
