Reception

The music received positive reception from critics and audience. Reviewing the soundtrack album, Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama rated album with 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "The music of Housefull 4 is just the kind that one expects from Housefull franchise. By and large it's the kind that goes with the pace of the narrative and stays along as the accompanying partner." [32] Komal Nahta of Film Information wrote "Music (by Sohail Sen; guest composers Farhad Samji, Sandeep Shirodkar and Panjabi Hit Squad (U.K.)) is hit. The ‘Bala’, ‘Chhammo’ and ‘Ek chumma’ songs are very appealing. Lyrics (by Sameer Anjaan and Farhad Samji) are in synch with the mood of the film. Choreography (by Farah Khan, Ganesh Acharya and Chinni Prakash) is very eye-filling. Julius Packiam’s background music is impactful." [33]

Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times said "While Housefull 4 music is ordinary, the Ek Chumma song has been beautifully choreographed. Bala – Shaitaan Ka Saala is clearly the highlight with its lame yet catchy lyrics." [34] Critics at the board of Bollywood Hungama wrote "Julius Packiam's background score is theatrical and the recurring theme is catchy." [35]

Reviewing the soundtrack album, DJ Munks of BizAsia rated album with 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "The soundtrack of ‘Housefull 4’ is funny & cheesy no doubt! Limited by the appeal of the film there is only so much one can do to make the music fit with the film while also delivering on the listen ability parameters that define the success of the music album. Nonetheless the soundtrack is unique in the current times as it does not run after the typical remakes and dance and romantic numbers. It truly is a soundtrack for this film and fits well there keeping a different identity for itself. [36]

Suparno Sarkar of International Business Times commented "Songs are entertaining." [37] MovieCrow stated "The songs (composed by Sohail Sen and Farhad Samji-Sandeep Shirodkar) have already become popular and they suit the madness quotient evident in the film." [38] Namrata Thakker of Rediff wrote "The best thing about Housefull 4 is the Bala song, which plays in the background throughout." [39]

Impact

The tracks "Ek Chumma" and "Shaitan Ka Saala" topped the national charts, in all music and video platforms. "Ek Chumma" inspired the song "Loota Re" from the Pakistani film Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad (2022). [40] "Shaitan Ka Saala" was the 2019's fastest 100 million views gainer on YouTube, and emerged as the most popular song of 2019. [41]
