“MareGa Salaa” comprises of 8 songs. The first song of the album is “Sehra Sehra” by sensational Sunidhi Chauhan. It’s a typical Sunidhi Chauhan song, entertaining and a dance song. Followed my Sehra Sehra is “Parde wali baat” sung by Alisha Chinai is a let down by the popular pop singer. The song lacks the zeal and spirit for a happening dance track. The next song is “Tu hi hai” again sung Sunidhi Chauhan. This song is beautifully sung by the famous singer but the music could’ve been better. The next track is “Aankhein Tumhari “is a duet by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal which is the best song of MareGa Salaa. It’s a soft romantic mass appealing song. The 5th song of the album is a Daboo Malik version of “Tu hi Hai”. The music is good but Daboo Malik is better off as a music composer. The next song is a remix of “Sehra Sehra” by DJ Hash. DJ Hash has also remixed the song “Tu hi hai” which is the last song of the album, both the songs sound much better the remix way. There is a remix of “Parde Wali Baat” by Raamji Gulati and DJ Dev. The original one is a big disappointment but the remix is a good techno song if you don’t pay attention to the lyrics.

All in all, the songs of “MareGa Salaa” are a combination of good and bad songs. The remixes are the best tracks in the album. Music: Saregama , Price: Rs. 150
