The soundtrack preceded by two singles, was released under the Sony Music India label on 4 March 2016. The album was met with mixed response from music critics, who were dismissive of including multiple composers in an album and noted the repetitive tunes from the composer's previous works. Despite that, the album received three Mirchi Music Awards, and other accolades.
Release
[edit]The first single "Kar Gayi Chull", a party number, was released on 18 February 2016.[1] The song was composed by Amaal Mallik with lyrics written by Kumaar and sung by Sukriti Kakkar, Neha Kakkar and Fazilpuria;[2] Badshah wrote, produced and performed the rap portions.[3][4] The romantic number "Bolna" was released as the second single on 24 February 2016.[5][6] It was performed by Arijit Singh and Asees Kaur, composed by Tanishk Bagchi with the lyrics of Dr. Devender Kafir.[7] Bagchi had modified one of his compositions, in order to create a folk romantic number.[8] The remaining songs were released along with the soundtrack on 4 March 2016 under the Sony Music India label.[9]
Reception
[edit]Mohar Basu, in his review for The Times of India, disliked the idea of multiple composers, "as the rhythm of one song doesn't connect with the other" making it "ordinary".[10] He mentioned "Kar Gayi Chull" as the only well-composed song of the album.[10] Swetha Ramakrishnan, journalist of Firstpost mentioned that the adapted songs of the film hadn't brought a new thing to the table except for the slight change of lyrics.[11] She, however, praised Arko's "Saathi Re" and felt that other songs of the album are forgettable.[11] Rohit Mehrotra of The Quint, giving the album one and a half star, said the album has nothing new to offer.[12]
In contrast, Aelina Kapoor of Rediff.com stated "While the music of Kapoor & Sons holds on well, one waits to hear a soundtrack like 2 States or Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani from the house of Dharma Productions."[13] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog praised it as a "highly listenable multi-composer soundtrack" despite its recreations.[14]
