The music of this film is as wacky as the title itself. None could be wackier than the title number itself. It has been sung by KK, Vinod Rathod and Nitin Raikwar, and is a riot. Things get even more colourful in Chidiya chidiya and its Fadoo mix, whatever that means, to which the director of the film, Mahesh Manjrekar, who also stars in it, has lent his voice, along with Vaishali Samant.

While Anand Anand Raj is the main music director, some songs have also been composed by Sukhwinder Singh and Nitin Raikwar.
