Wazir : Hindi

Music by: Shantanu Moitra, Ankit Tiwari, Prashant Pillai, Advaita, Gaurav Godkhindi

1] Tere bin: Very melodious-sweet song composed by Shantanu Moitra and sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. Shantanu and Ajay-Atul have given such songs in past years with very melodious tunes and western classical style arrangements in interludes/preludes. Best song of the album

2] Maula Mere Maula : A qawali composed by Shantanu Moitra and rendered by Javed ali, but again, Shantanu maintains his signature softness in tune and composition.

3] Tu Mere Paas: This is quite usual Ankit-Tiwari-Song! Like Himesh, Ankit is a good composer but should avoid singing. Songs composed and sung by him appear to be same.

4] Khel Khel Me: This is equal to Instrumental music + Bachchan's vocals! Composed by band Advaita.

5] Tere Liye: This is solo song composed by Prashant Pillai, standard-bollywood-sufi style! Fans of the genre would certainly admire the composition

6] Atrangi Yari : Composed by Rochak Kohli (Often seen in past together with Ayushman Khurana in credits) and rendered by Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar  -non formal singers. Country pop style song is good listen for the admirers of Bachchan,Farhan and Rochak.

7] Theme: Composed by Gaurav Godkhindi , this is suitable background instrumental.

Overall, Shantanu Moitra's songs are attraction of the album and total album is above average.

Airlift : Hindi

Music by: Amaal Mallik and Ankit Tiwari

1] Soch na sake (2 versions): This song is the highlight of the album. Although the most attractive lines of the song are taken from Hardy Sandhu's song "Soch", Amaal Mallik has made significant contribution in composing rest of melody equally pleasant and also arranging the song beautifully. Arijit Singh's solo version sounds better than the duet version due to Tulsi Kumar's limitations.

2] Mera nachan tu: This is a typical Punjabi-folk derived song. Song is a good listen but fails to make any impression and doesn't seem catchy at all.

3] Tu bhula jise: The patriotic and very well arranged song. KK has rendered the song with required feel. Producers should have thought about including instrumental version of the song.

4] Dil cheez tujhe de di: It is the only song composed by Ankit Tiwari. The song is designed to have a middle-eastern (Arabic) feel with instruments used in song and its arrangement. Song is very much catchy and makes impression very quickly. However, song derives melody for the words 'de di' from Cheb Khaled's very popular song 'dee dee'.

Overall, an impressive album.
