expect an adrenalin pumping soundtrack. I'll Do The Talking Tonight…
First in the album introduces itself as 'I'll Do The Talking Tonight' which is in fact an unusual beginning of the soundtrack of the movie. Despite the fact that one was not looking forward for something like a romantic track to launch the album, a
situational based song and more or less item song like this one does come as a surprise to everyone. Nonetheless, the song does impresses later on, as Neeraj Shridhar and Aditi Singh Sharma direct from the frontage with Shefali Alvaris and Barbie Amod joining them too. A blend muddle up of a well-liked Russian melody with Western engagements and Pritam's line of attack, which is most noticeable in the manner Neeraj goes on singing, 'I'll Do The Talking Tonight' is a satisfactory beginning, though not something like amazing and remarkable. I'll Do The Talking Tonight (Remix)…
The 'remix version' that chases expectedly drive up the push as one listens to it over and over again, and after hearing this remix version, one would definitely feel like there is a slight allusion of 'Music Band Na Karo' from the movie ‘Hum Tum Shabana'. It is not however shocking as Sachin-Jigar were once assistants of Pritam and therefore likeness can be expected to bleed in. 
Dil Mera Muft Ka…
Now we are talking about the most overestimated song of the movie, 'Dil Mera Muft Ka', which comes just after the above track. A 'mujra' song that has been in headlines for more than 6 months at present, is at last allowed to run free with the type of feature sound that one links with this genre. On the other hand the song takes about turn after the completion of one minute with a club sound seizing the popularity and the 'mujra' losing its importance before one could have truly rated it as one. If truth be told it won't be an incorrect statement to state that the song, in the midst of Muazzam, Rizwan, Shadab Faridi, Altamush Faridi, Shabab Sabri as the add-on singers, is more in a 'Munni' or 'Sheela' temper than an Umrao Jaan one, which usually listeners were looking for here. Nonetheless, coming back to the track for what it is, 'Dil Mera Muft Ka', which has Neelesh Misra as the guest lyrics writer, does not relatively come closer to the build-up that was constructed around it and merely more or less manages to pass muster. What is as well visible here is the piece of information that Nandini Srikar's voice is simply not the accurate fit for Kareena Kapoor and looks as if out of site here. Obviously she sings for sure remarkably well and too reveals a good series, after being remarkable in 'Bhare Naina' from Ra.One in 2011, but in this particular case of 'Dil Mera Muft Ka', it seems like it’s a case of mismatch.Dil Mera Muft Ka (Remix)…
Fortunately the 'remix version' (unexpectedly) is more 'desi' with Malini Avasthi sounding further genuine. Furthermore, the breed of whereabouts that one listens here makes one sturdily feel that maybe the labelling of 'remix' was swapped over here and the previous version could have been somewhat named as one.Raabta (Siyaah Raatein)…
In next to no time Pritam does come on his own with 'Raabta (Siyaah Raatein)' which is evidently the finest song that one has listened in this soundtrack upto now. It is just the type of sound that one links with the composer, 'Raabta' is a striking piece of music that might have more apt on an Imtiaz Ali movie, but in Agent Vinod it is still a greeting addition even if it is nowhere closer to being adrenalin pumping. As luck would have it for that, post 'I'll Do The Talking Tonight' and 'Dil Mera Muft Ka', which has one constructed some 'thehrav' in the mood of the album, this one comes as a good wealth for the listeners.Three more versions of Raabta (Siyaah Raatein)…
The song comes in as many as 4 different editions and one does not mind with this change, as it manages to seize your attention whenever it comes. Despite the fact that Aditi Singh Sharma, who is here in an all in all different avatar from 'I'll Do The Talking Tonight', directs from the frontage for the 'Raabta (Night In A Motel)' version, it is the singer Arijit Singh who does in good form for the male version. Later on Arijit too joins Shreya Ghoshal for the last version 'Raabta (Kehte Hain Khuda Ne)', which does fine as a summary version. Special mention here for the lyrics writer Amitabh Bhattacharya, who have really ended up in giving up something fresh to applaud about and had demonstrated for another time that he has a first-rate talent of playing around with words.Pungi…
Up next in the album is the massy song 'Pungi' which can be defined as Saif Ali Khan's naughtiest and bizarre track that have came in his pocket for a long time. From the time when Saif have arrived with his urbane and elegant image, you do not actually connect a song like this with him, as it is a complete surprise for all Saif Ali Khan’s fans. On the other hand one can well look forward for some all-around believable feeling, which has Mika directing from the frontage with Amitabh Bhattacharya, Nakash and Pritam himself joining with Mika later on. In the midst of a 70s and 80s kind of feeling to it and recollecting the old memories of 'Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai' from the movie ‘Kaalia’, 'Pungi', which too arrives and impresses in its remix version, is the naughtiest, funniest and very much entertaining song in the music album of the movie ‘Agent Vinod’.Agent Vinod - Theme…
The soundtrack ends up well with 'Agent Vinod - Theme' track which has its individual atmosphere and progress, and thus that is for the reason the album of this movie has became a decent affair. By tradition it has been witnessed that the theme tracks ends up in just a couple of minutes, but this one is approximately near to 5 minutes, which signifies that Pritam had sufficient time to construct a foundation and then take it to the climax. Certainly you do get an intimation of the themes of James Bond and Mission Impossible that comes as one in this film, but then that is completely all right here since the theme track of ‘Agent Vinod’ does manages to shape its own uniqueness. The reality is that it’s a fast-paced theme track, and also a greatly enjoyable number, which on the whole adds more weight to lift up the graph of the album.Overall
Let us state the truth here - Agent Vinod may perhaps have not become a definitive entertaining experience, which one would have expected for, but still it has its fine moments where one does senses that if the songs in the movie merely could have gone an extra mile, it could have been an outstanding and an unforgettable album. However still, in spite of not actually the type of soundtrack that one would bear in mind 6 months down the line, it is still pretty much fine enough to make sure that it assists the movie's storyline part. Songs such as 'I'll Do The Talking Tonight', 'Dil Mera Muft Ka' and 'Pungi', though not something like amazing and astonishing, but it keeps up the tempo, whereas the theme track is an utter killer. As for the one that might live for long in listeners mind, there is 'Raabta' that you can play on a repeat mode, and feel happy and satisfied.
