Music: Himesh Reshammiya, Ajay-Atul
An average album that is focused of the comic angle of the movie. Most songs are goofy, and while being so not totally hilarious making its' shelf life very short.
1. Jab Se Dekhi Hai --------- 5/10
When Himesh Reshammiya and Mohit Chauhan meet, comes to life Jab Se Dekhi Hai. Mohit Chauhan is no doubt the force of the Bollywood music industry today, however HR's style is going stale by the day. This song would have a smash hit 6 years ago. But, today?
2. Nach Le Nach Le ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5/10
Ajay-Atul are brought into service for Rohit Shetty's film, if only for this one song. They do add a Marathi-style dhinchak flair to the album. But is it enough for the album, or even for the song? No.
3. Bol Bachchan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/10
A resurrection of Amitabh Bachchan's legendary gibberish English dialogues from Namak Halal. It is funny, although over it's entire length falls flat. Ajay Devgn is a total fail in delivering hilarious dialogues and sounds very dry. The only best part of the song is the melodic use of a random word: pendulum.
Final verdict: Overall, gets a 5/10. Very average. HRs style feels average now that he is out of his prime. He must explore a greater musical territory as his trump card of once is a bust now.

Music: Sneha Khanwalkar
If someone takes the songs/album by its' face value, I can bet the person would go to the extent of buying an audio CD of this album and smash it into pieces like the printer in Office Space.
However, if there is any love for experimental music or someone possesses enough sarcastic sense of humor, there could some gems for you in there. Hats off to Sneha Khanwalkar for creating such a hilariously boorish album while not compromising on the rustic authenticity of the music. This album is surely not a piece of folk songs collection, but a deliberate stab at irony. Definitely not for everyone, but if you are ready for the rollercoaster ride, check these out:
- O Womaniya Live - The gem of it all. A female chorus with thick rural voice singing the word woman in Bihari accent accompanied by colloquial rhyme and good beats. Simply genius.
- Humni Ke Chhodi Ke - With no offense meant, this is the most brilliant beggar song ever recorded.
- Hunter - This is just one dumb, non-sensical song with English lyrics and raw tune. The lyrics are oddly funny.
- Keh Ke Lunga - Those who loved G*** Me Danda Re, will relish on this one. A melodic way of expressing F U.
- Manmauji - A brillliant retro track, certain to remind the era of Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar. Composed in true flashback colors.
Final verdict: For true adventure lovers. There is more to explore than the aforementioned tracks, but these are the better of them all.

Music: Anand Raj Anand, Jatin Pandit
A fair attempt, although not enough. Very formulaic with no-name playback singers. Bin Tere is a fairly decent track that almost sounds like Haan Tu Hai from Jannat. That is where all the good things end.
GOW 2 is more interested and power full than first part, but only if you like bloody fight shots and high voltage action, its real Hindi movie where no western costume and foreign location are there, it has some lovely Gallis which make you laugh. Nawajuddin Siddiqui is a brilliant new comer. Anurag Keshap direction is outstanding. please make sure you watch this film only with friends not with family.
