`Mumbai Express' -- Music in ` ... Xpress'

The Hindu : Entertainment Chennai : Fun and frenzy on `Mumbai Xpress': "Ilaiyaraja is the composer. 'The songs have come out very well. Leave alone the Hindi number you have to listen to Sonu Nigam singing in Tamil. His diction is excellent ... I've also sung a couple of songs.' Kamal's eyes are aglow with excitement as he dwells on the maestro's composing skills.

'Ilaiyaraja went to Budapest for composing. At a time when synthesised music holds sway he has gone in for a live orchestra ... and the difference is discernible,' says a happy Kamal. 'He's done a wonderful job with the Hungarian orchestra, which he has used for the opening of the romantic number. The quaint piece, `Bandar Ki Dug Dugi Hai,' has been well sung by Sonu Nigam, KK and Shaan, and is a recurring theme in `Mumbai Xpress,' he adds. "
