The music was composed by Datta Naik, while Sahir Ludhianvi wrote the lyrics for the songs.[3] [4] On the album, film critic Vijay Lokapally of The Hindu called Geeta Dutt's rendition of the song "Jaate Ho To Jaao Par Jaaoge Kahaan" as "hummable" while terming the rest as "forgettable".
Lokapally noted that Anand's "transformation from a naïve character to a sophisticated urban is expectedly breezy." He felt the film "was not the best offering from Raj Khosla".
