Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is the soundtrack to the 2006 film of the same name directed by Karan Johar starring Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza. Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy composed all the songs of the film, with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. The soundtrack which consisted eight songs, was released on 8 June 2006, under the Sony BMG label, to positive reviews.[1][2]
Development
The music and background score of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, while the lyrics were penned by Javed Akhtar. This is the second time that lyricist Javed Akhtar and the composers Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy have teamed up for a Dharma production. The trio also replaces Johar's usual collaborators Jatin–Lalit, who had composed for his previous films. The audio rights were acquired by Sony Music India, under Sony BMG, teaming up with Karan Johar, for the fourth time after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... and Kal Ho Naa Ho.
In an interview, Johar stated that the filming for the song "Tumhi Dekho Naa" was done at multiple locations and ended up being extremely time-consuming. The "blue section" of the song was shot at Columbia University in Upper West Side, the "yellow section" was shot at Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, the "orange section" at Bear Mountain State Park, the "pink section" at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Midtown Manhattan, the "red section" at the Pier A Park in Hoboken, New Jersey, and the "green section" at the Union Station in New Haven.[3]
The title song "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" rendered by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik is a tearjerker. "Mitwa",[4] an evocative Sufi rock ballad, marked the introduction of Pakistani singer Shafqat Amanat Ali into the Bollywood scene. "Where's The Party Tonight?" by Shaan, Vasundhara Das, Loy and Shankar Mahadevan is the club song picturized on Abhishek and Preity. Then follows "Tumhi Dekho Naa", a soft and romantic ballad, which again is sung by the Sonu Nigam – Alka Yagnik duo is picturized on Shah Rukh and Rani. "Rock 'N' Roll Soniye", picturized on Amitabh, Abhishek and Preity is a 60's Rock 'N' Roll track, sung by Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan and Mahalakshmi Iyer. "Farewell Trance" is the trance version of the title track, which is a rarity in Bollywood. The album also has a remix for Mitwa – Revisted".[5] The soundtrack ends with a sad version of the title track, again by the Sonu Nigam – Alka Yagnik duo, "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna – Sad Version" which speaks of destiny, meeting again in life and never saying goodbye. The trio took care to not make the album sound repetitive, especially since the overall genre of the soundtrack is similar to that of their previous chartbuster Kal Ho Naa Ho.[6]
Release
The soundtrack of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was released in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2006 and was officially released in India on 16 June 2006 along with a grand music launch at the 7th IIFA Awards in Dubai.[7]
Reception
The soundtrack received positive reviews from critics. Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama dismissed the initial negative reaction and hype, saying "Much before the official release of the music album of KANK, rumour brigade has been having a field day in pulling down the album. Well, that's not something new as with every biggie comes its share of detractors. But on hearing the songs for yourself, you realize that is it NOTHING, but a rumour! The album is yet another fine product from the team that delivers the kind of path-breaking music expected from it."[8][9]
Sukanya Verma of Rediff called the album "a treat for the melody-starved."[10][11] S Sahaya Ranjit of India Today stated, "There is something fresh about the music of the trio-Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The title track is soothing and Sonu Nigam shines through. The duet 'Tumhi Dekho Naa', is a romantic number that is a sure winner. And no Karan Johar-film can be complete without a dance number, 'Rock 'N' Roll Soniye' has all the ingredients of a hit. A good mix. Enjoy the unpredictability of the trio.[12]

Bollywood Hungama, in its half-yearly music roundup, remarked, "The song that rocks most is 'Mitwa', that has so far been responsible for the good opening of KANK."[15][16]
