This film is starring Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan is directed by Aziz Mirza. The songs of the movie has been written by Sayeed Quadri and Shabbir Ahmed and composed by Pritam. Going by the list of biog names there is no doubt that this album will not connect to the audience. The title song of the film Aai Paapi sets the groove on from very first note. The song has Hinglish lyrics and sung by Neeraj Sridhar. The track Bakhuda Tumhi Ho is also said to be the personal favourite of Shahid Kapoor as well. The song has been sung by Alka Yagniuk and Atif Aslam. Pritam has used this combo second time after Pehli Nazar from Race. The number is special since it merges styles of both Pritam and Atif Aslam. This song can be considered as potentially second best number of the film. The song Move Your Body Now sung by Shaan, Hard Kaur and Akruti Kakkar is a rocking number which will force you to tap your feet. There is a second song with the same title as well which blends the western and Punjabi style. ‘Aai Paapi’ and ‘Move Your Body Now’ are sure hits of the album but other songs might need a bit of pushing from the performance of the film.

Jee Karda is one of the best number in the album. The English version of the song was sung by Souzie and this Punjabi version is a mixture of Punjabi and western culture. Bas Ek Kinng sung by Mika Singh, Neeraj Shridhar, Ashish Pandit and Hard Kaur is an energetic track. The other tracks in the film are Bhootni Ke, Teri Ore, Talli Hua.
