Joginder Tuteja,in his review for Rediff.com assigned four stars to the album,stating "this soundtrack with multiple composers and lyricists at the helm of affairs turns out to be a largely entertaining affair with quite a few party tracks as well as a couple of soft songs that would go a long way." [9] Rajiv Vijayakar of Bollywood Hungama assigned two-and-a-half out of five,stating "The music is completely heterogeneous and partly unoriginal,so the better songs will be dependent on how the film fares." [32] Bryan Durham of The Times of India assigned three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote "t's meant to be played loud,and is apt if you are the type that enjoys club-climbing tracks and songs that have the potential to be party perennials. Equally interesting are the lyrics,high-strung,situational,self-obsessed,quirky yet not entirely putting-off." [33] DJ Munks of BizAsia Live rated 7 out of 10 and summarized "The OST lacks innovation but that does not make a lot of difference when you have decently well done songs that simply sound good and deliver a good melody to the ears." [34] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog described it as a "largely insignficant soundtrack." [35]

The Golden Kela Awards are a satirical take on Bollywood that award the worst performances in Hindi cinema each year. Created by Random Magazine, winners are selected each year by an online poll and receive an award in the shape of a golden banana. The first award ceremony took place on 7 March 2009 in New Delhi (India). The fifth award ceremony was held on 30 March 2013. Jaspal Bhatti made a special appearance at the inaugural event, dishonoring the Indian film talent of the year 2008. The intention behind the Golden Kela is to ridicule the Hindi film stars and acknowledge the worst of Indian Cinema. Since, several award ceremonies each year celebrate the best of Hindi Cinema, Random Magazine and the Sundaas Film Institute chose to be different by giving away the Best of the Worst of Indian Cinema. Golden Kela Awards are not meant to insult anyone. It is just a way to make it a laughter exercise, a therapy of sorts to forget about the failures and look at what went wrong with the movie and the act. Abhishek Bachchan came to the Golden Kela Awards in 2010 and accepted the Dara Singh Award for his attempt to speak with an American accent in Delhi 6
