Music
Golmaal Returns’ soundtrack was released on September 19, 2008 by director Rohit Shetty and actors Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor & Shreyas Talpade on the musical show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009. While the film’s soundtrack has been composed by Pritam, lyrcis have been penned by Sameer.
Joginder Tuteja from indiaFM gave the film’s soundtrack 3 out of 5 stars and noted, “Golmaal Returns is yet another winner from Pritam and guest composer Ashish Pandit who delivers what is expected from a soundtrack for a film belonging to action-comedy genre. No one attempts to do anything exceptional or different from routine and walk the path that has been successful in the months gone by. The music may not go the Race (2008) way but does well enough to ensure immense awareness about the film due to its fast paced approach.”
