‘He’s back to do something’, goes the title song, indicating how undecided Sardaar Gabbar Singh may be about his next steps; the flashy tune and Benny’s punchy vocals help, though. O pilla is staid DSP formula, but catchy enough, with that easy-on-the-ears rhythm. Tauba tauba owes a lot to Kalyanji-Anandji’s Lawaris number, Apni toh jaise taise, while Aadevadanna is DSP running amok in a percussion instruments warehouse. Khakhee chokka is painfully outdated Andhra kuthu. The soundtrack’s best is the wonderfully pleasant and breezy Nee chepakallu, with a Laxmikant-Pyarelal’ish lilt. Looks like DSP recycling was caused by Gabbar’s, ‘Kitne tunes thay?’.
