Background


The film reportedly had multiple music composers for composing the songs.
In April 2022, it was reported that Devi Sri Prasad was hired to compose song a song for the film. He was earlier collaborated with Khan for Ready (2011) and Radhe (2021). Prasanth composed a song in June which didn't impressed the Khan and he reportedly exited from the film. Ravi Basrur, who impressed Khan by his composition in KGF: Chapter 2 (2022) roped in to the project to score background score and to compose a song. This marks his second collaboration with Khan after Antim: The Final Truth (2021) and Basrur started composing the score in late June 2022. Prasad, however, denied the rumors, saying that he had already composed a dance number for the film. In July 2022, rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh and Prasad collaborated for a song, marking their first collaboration.

Actually, I had already cleared this confusion but it was never the whole album. It was never supposed to be mine because by the time they approached me, they already done couple of songs. But Farhad Samji told me the entire script for me to know because I want to know the vibe of like ‘what they have done’, ‘what they didn't do’, ‘which part should I do?’ But when he narrated, they were like a little more number of songs. But finally, because of the length of the film and all that, what he told me is the number of songs itself have been reduced.
Sukhbir revealed that Khan met him at Abu Dhabi and asked for a wedding song. When Sukhbir sent him "Billi Billi" which was written completely in Punjabi, Khan insisted him to use some Hindi lyrics and compose. Himesh Reshammiya, Sajid Khan, Payal Dev and Amaal Mallik have been signed to compose songs as well.
Shabbir Ahmed, Kumaar, Devi Sri Prasad, Sajid Khan, Ravi Basrur, Vicky Sandhu, Kinnal Raj and Harini Ivaturi were signed to write lyrics for the songs. The music rights were acquired by Zee Music Company.

Reception

Though there are 8 songs in the film, it doesn’t cause inconvenience and are well-tuned. 'Naiyo Lagda' is the best of the lot followed by 'Yentamma' and 'Bathukamma'. 'Jee Rahe The Hum' is cute while 'Tere Bina' is touching. 'O Balle Balle' is okay while 'Billi Billi' is catchy. 'Let’s Dance Chotu Motu' is the only track that fails to entice. Ravi Basrur's background score is terrific and massy."
