== Reception ==
The soundtrack received highly positive reviews from music critics. Joginder Tuteja of ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' rated it four out of five, calling it an "excellent album": "There is not one single number which doesn't work. In fact, if three soft numbers 'Kuch Kum', 'Khabar Nahin' and 'Jaane Kyun' are the pick of the lot, then 'Desi Girl' is a definite must for the dance floors. 'Maa Da Laadla' and 'Shut up & Bounce' have their own place under the sun."<ref name="album">{{Cite web |last=Tuteja |first=Joginder |date=17 October 2008 |title=Dostana Music Review |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/dostana-3/songs/music-critic-review/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170311145006/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/dostana-3/songs/music-critic-review/ |archive-date=11 March 2017 |access-date=11 March 2017 |website=[[Bollywood Hungama]]}}</ref>
