Background

In an interaction with Nithya Ramani and Syed Firdaus Ashraf of Rediff.com , Rahman felt that working with Abbas Tyrewala was initially strange but got used to each other. [1] When the songs were composed, the producer Aamir Khan appreciated them and recalled that both Rahman and Tyrewala would make a good team. Rahman opined that "It's just that when he gets excited about something, he likes the integrity of the same thing. And when something goes wrong, he wants to bring the integrity back." [1] Aamir involved in the music discussion of this film and the actor's previous collaboration Rang De Basanti (2005) along with the actor's subsequent film Ghajini . [1] Aamir stated that the score was "very youthful and fresh". [2]

Release

Initially the film's music was scheduled to be launched on 21 May 2008 at a grand event in Mumbai. [3] [2] However, Aamir cancelled the event and directly presented the first copy of the audio CD to veteran actor Shammi Kapoor at his residence on the same date; [2] he previously did the same for the audio release of his directorial Taare Zameen Par (2007). [3] Speaking of this initiative, Aamir added "Shammiji's blessings are important. He has been a guiding force since a long time and has been very close to our family. It's a kind of ritual for us to go and present him the first copy of the music. This time it's Imran's launch and it's all the more important." [3] Besides the physical launch, the album was further made available for streaming through digital platforms. [4]

Reception

The soundtrack received positive reviews. Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated three out of five stars and stated, "Rahman's frothy tonic of vibrant and breezily-tempered creations in Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na should certainly catch your fancy." [5] Joginder Tuteja from Bollywood Hungama rated three-and-a-half out of five and mentioned that the album is "unlike a conventional Bollywood score and instead introduces a style, which goes with the contemporary youthful setting. It is an album, which deserves to be bought this season." [6] Meghna Menon, a reviewer based at Indo-Asian News Service, commended "AR Rahman's attempt at experimenting with new and different sounds for the album may not have resulted in chartbuster hits, but the attempt is worth hearing" and rated three out of five. [7]

Bhasker Gupta of AllMusic wrote "A. R. Rahman rightfully excludes his usual grandeur here and sticks to cheery melodic compositions without compromising his genius." [8] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Abbas Tyrewala’s directorial debut has Rahman giving him youthful and trendy numbers, even though the overall package is entertainingly diverse from a standard Rahman product." [9] Gauthaman Bhaskaran of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "A.R. Rahman’s music no longer has the magic of his earlier days, but here one finds a bit of the old pep." [10] Khalid Mohamed of Hindustan Times mentioned Rahman's score as "remarkably bouncy, especially the 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi' and 'Pappu Can’t Dance Saala' tracks". [11]

The soundtrack held the number one spot on the music charts for several consecutive weeks. [12] According to the Indian trade website Box Office India , with around 15,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's eighth highest-selling. [13]
