Critical Reception
Shresht Poddar of Score Magazine, gave it 2 out of 5 stars & said,"Vishesh Films has always been associated with good music and Raaz, as well as, Raaz 2 had set the bar higher. Ironically, this album (as well as the recent Blood Money & Jism 2) have managed to dissolve all those standards to dust. They really need to pull up their socks and bounce back with a chartbuster score in the future."[7] Similarly, as per DunkDaft,"This..is simply below the levels of previous ones. Jeet Ganguly's score for this one, is a downer."[8]Release
