Review

‘Aadat’ song spells nostalgia. The first job, the first time away from home, the first salary, and longs working hours in office on weekdays and weekends – everything comes rushing back when I hear this song.

This was an instrumental rendition of the song. I must say it was not as effective as the one with lyrics. I listened to the song especially since I have learned the history of the band, especially the current interview of Gohar Mumtaz with Sameena Peerzada made me think that I should know the band more.

The song was slow and lacked the soothing factor and the dhinchak factor, both. I mean, the song should either relax you or pump you up. It did nothing.

What did you guys think of this episode?  Please do leave comments.

Happy work week to all!
