A number with a predictable base to it, ‘Ai Meri Zindagi’ is a conventional track about living life and being positive about the day to follow. A kind of number that has been heard a zillion times before, it may well have been somehow exciting if only the music and the singing were energetic. However, the composer duo follows a conventional route while Roopkumar Rathod and Mahalakshmi Iyer merely go through the motions only to make ‘Ai Meri Zindagi’ an overall forgettable outing. Shaan seems to be the only person on the scene who thought that by being ever-so-youthful and excited, he could make things happen for ‘Marathon’. He succeeds to an extent as well and even though the tune here is nothing new or extraordinary, it at least is peppy in sound due to a decently paced rhythm. Sunidhi Chauhan’s entry on the scene is good as well though the ‘antara’ portion is in complete contrast to the vibrant ‘mukhda’. An ordinary number but still better than the rest. However, the worst is reserved for the end and what’s even more pitiful is the fact that it has Udit Narayan and Shreya Ghoshal at the helm. A number straight out of ‘Aayi Milan Ki Bela’ and ‘Nadia Ke Paar’ days, ‘Aate Jaate’ is so boring and pedestrian that it starts making the rest of the album good. A love song set in a village, ‘Aate Jaate’ justifies its title and is best forgotten just ‘aate jaate’! 42 Kms is a below average album that doesn’t stand a chance. Except for ‘Chand Zameen Pe’ and to some extent ‘Tumse Milke Hua’, there isn’t much that leaves any impression whatsoever.
