Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by Sajid-Wajid.[2]

Reception

Subhash K. Jha of IANS wrote that "Shrill, shallow and shrieked-out AK-47 is the pavement-friendly actioner that you thought had ceased manufacture in Bollywood's dream factory. But it's back. And what can we do about it?"[3] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "On the whole, AK 47 is an ordinary fare".[4]
