The soundtrack was released under the T-Series label on 18 June 2010 to positive reviews from critics.

Background

The soundtrack consisted of five original songs—"Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein", "Pee Loon", "I Am in Love", "Parda" and "Baburao Mast Hai".[1] Neelesh Misra wrote lyrics for "Parda" and Amitabh Bhattacharya did the same for "Baburao Mast Hai", while Irshad Kamil wrote the remainder of it. "Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein", "Pee Loon" and "I Am in Love" had alternative versions, with "Pee Loon" having a remix version performed by DJ A-myth. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Tulsi Kumar, Mohit Chauhan, Karthik, Sunidhi Chauhan, Rana Mazumder, Mika Singh, KK, Dominique Cerejo performed the vocals. The soundtrack was released under the T-Series label on 18 June 2010.

Reception

A reviewer from Hindustan Times wrote "On the whole, the album impresses and will appeal to music lovers" and rated three out of five stars.[2] Beenish Mirza of Music Aloud gave 8/10 and said "The album has been worth the wait, for just Pee Loon, Tum Jo Aaye Reprise and I am in Love (2 versions); These in themselves provide a wholesome musical experience."[3] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Average soundtrack propped by two stand-out songs".[4] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama wrote "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai throws a surprise, a mighty pleasant one at that [...] Once the initial inhibition about the album offering only gangster score settles down and the fact emerges that there are quite a few love songs on the offing as well, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai should enjoy a long innings ahead."[5] Gaurav Malani of The Economic Times wrote "Pritam's soothing tunes 'Pee Loo' and 'Tum Jo Aaye' and the R.D.Burman styled cabaret number 'Parda' are chartbuster material."[6]
