Reception

Umesh Punwani of Koimoi gave 3.5 stars out of 5 wrote "Sanju is not like any other Hirani album – it has songs which not only are situational but also will be with you way after you watch the movie". [22] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama described the soundtrack as "decent to good". [23] Reza Noorani of The Times of India wrote "Hirani has moved away from working with only established musicians and has depended on a mix of new and old, which is why there is a freshness to the tracks". [24] In a mixed review, Vipin Nair of Music Aloud rated 3 out of 5, complimenting Hirani's decision to collaborate with a new set of composers which avoided the repetitiveness of the soundtracks of his previous ventures, but "barring a couple of songs, the music still fails to make a major impact". [25] Anish Mohanty of Planet Bollywood wrote "Rajkumar Hirani's films continue to disappoint with their music [...] It is high time Hirani starts introspecting and try to up the quality of music in his films." [26]
