Tanu Weds Manu is Krsna's debut as a music composer;[1] Krsna trained under the tutelage of Ustad Mehboob Khan Mirajkar learning Hindustani classical music and also learnt western music for over three years.[2] When he was interested to compose for films, he came in contact with several people within the film industry, during which he met Raj Shekhar, who was hired as the lyricist. Through Shekhar, Krsna met Rai, who asked to compose tune which he did it the same night.[3] Impressed by it, Krsna was brought onboard for the film.[3] Krsna composed the music that the film demanded, instead of adapting it to the market demands.[3]
Critical reception
Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama described "Sadi Gali" and "Jugni" as the pillars of the album, that not "just add value to the album but also help the film gain added visibility" and further added "Mannu Bhaiyya" and "Piya" "add further variety to the album".[4]Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Krsna's debut isn't ideally one with fresh tunes, but even within familiar templates, his songs are immensely engaging".[5]
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com called it as an "effervescent score ranging from thumping bhangra to rousing Sufi."[6] Monica Chopra of Sify described the music "exemplary".[7]Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India wrote Krsna's music "captures mofussil India with all its bustling beauty".[8]Anupama Chopra of NDTV, "Music plays an important role in a wedding-based romantic comedy and the director could have got it right if he had opted for fast-paced peppy numbers."[9]
