The soundtrack for the 2003 film Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, composed by Anu Malik, was commercially successful, with the album becoming the year's seventh-highest selling at the time of release. While some viewers and critics found the songs like "Bani Bani," "Aur Mohabat Hain," and "Kasam Ki Kasam" to be among the highlights, others felt the score was partly tuneful but lost amidst unimaginative picturizations and that the film's overall music was "partly-tuneful".
The songs were performed by various singers, with K.S. Chithra providing vocals for the female lead, while KK and Shaan lent their voices for Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan, respectively. The lyrics for the entire album were penned by Dev Kohili.
Despite the criticisms, the soundtrack's popularity led to it being the seventh highest-selling album of its release year

The soundtrack for the 2001 film Ajnabee, composed by Anu Malik, features a haunting and sensual mix of romantic and suspenseful songs, complementing the film's dark tone. While some critics found the music a somewhat derivative collection, with tracks like "Mehbooba" and the title song standing out for their style and sensuality, others felt the overall album was a less impressive offering, failing to reach the high bar set by other films from the same director-composer pairing.
The haunting title track, sung by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik, captures the film's foreboding atmosphere.
Some critics found the music to be a rehash of Anu Malik's previous work from films like Soldier and Baadshah, lacking a unique identity. There were also opinions that the album, rather than having a strong theme, came across as a compilation of dance music.
