Reception

The Tamil version of the soundtrack opened to positive reviews from critics. Behindwoods wrote in its review "Typical Santhosh in full form" and gave a rating of 3.25 out of 5. [16] Siddharth Srinivas in his music review for Sify , gave a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and wrote "The best thing about Irudhi Suttru is how the album hints you about the film all over, without dropping any big notes. The orchestration is mostly minimal, but the lasting effect is created with ease. Although the soundtrack does impress on the whole, Santhosh must be lauded for using Dhee in the right way in Ei Sandakara and Usuru Narumbula, for she in turn comes out with flying colours. Irudhi Suttru is an album you will want to have on your CD rack." [17]

Indiaglitz gave a rating of 3.25 out of 5 and stated it as "a fresh and pumped album from Santhosh". [18] Vipin Nair of Music Aloud rated the soundtrack 8 out of 10, saying, "Santhosh Narayanan starts the year with a thoroughly entertaining soundtrack that works a tad better in Tamil". [19] Studioflicks rated the album 3 out of 5 and wrote "Santosh Narayanan is back with a bang with a complete package of emotions and joy conveyed through the songs. Well for Madhavan, it’s been a long time we got to see a fabulous album and this one is more engrossing." [20] Moviecrow rated the album 3.5 out of 5 and stated "Santosh Narayanan once again proves that he can deliver the highly listenable album with enough experimentation in tune and orchestration." [21]

The Hindi version of the soundtrack received mixed response. Writing for The Times of India , Kasmin Fernandes gave the soundtrack a rating of 3 out of 5 stating it as "a diverse effort despite the narrow scope for musicality". [22] Critic Joginder Tuteja in his review for Bollywood Hungama , gave a mixed review saying "The music of Saala Khadoos stays strictly situational and doesn't have much to offer beyond the theatrical run of the film" giving a score 2 out of 5. [23] Aelina Kapoor in her review for Rediff.com called the album as a "mixed bag" and further went on to say "While none of the songs will go all the way, a couple of them fit in well and promise a good narrative", giving a rating 2.5 out of 5. [24] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Santhosh’s Hindi debut doesn’t break new ground like in Tamil, but it’s immensely listenable." [25] Suanshu Khurana of The Indian Express gave 2.5 out of 5 saying "The five tunes in Saala Khadoos, come with a combination of unique personalities and absolutely, scrappy, nonentities." [26]

Other versions
