You can listen to the soundtrack here.
Making brilliant use of guitars and horns with some other nifty touches here and there (street sounds at the start, the accordion bits ' I love!), composersSachin Jigar create an absolutely fun piece out ofTere Beech Mein totally befitting Jaideep Sahni's frolicsome words. The fun seems to rub off very well on the singers too, Sunidhi Chauhan and Mohit Chauhan sound just fabulous in this! Almost as a follow up to his song in BMB, Divya Kumar gets another quirky Punjabi flavored dance track here,Chanchal Mann Ati Random. And here too the man is spot on with his singing. The Punjabi-rock arrangement I found a bit too noisy after a point though. Visuals might improve the experience probably (it did, in case of Havan Karenge). Barring the similarity of those opening lines to this Anand Milind song, the title song is quite a neat job, particular for the way the composers employ the harmonium. And then there are the ever-exuberant Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade. Best among the lot is Gulaabi, the composers building an immensely addictive piece around that lovely folk hook played on the choicest of instruments. I would have been happier with a little less techno elements in the voices of Jigar Saraiya and Priya (Panchal) Saraiya,but the song is awesome enough to make up for that.
Rest of the soundtrack is made up of background pieces. Even in just over 2 minutes, Mujhe Kiss Kar Sakte Ho moves across genres ending on an Arabic-flavored note, featuring some lovely Spanish guitar and accordion.Love In Jaipur mixes Priya Saraiya's folksy vocals in a bossa nova-based arrangement, and the result is pretty interesting. Tez Wala Attraction uses the wacky folk base of Chanchal Mann to even better effect albeit in a short burst; particularly liked the flute. Boyfriend Banogey is similarly an instrumental reprise to Gulaabi, building quite neatly on snatches from the song. Bhanwara Ma Bhatke is the only BGM piece that doesn't quite hit the mark courtesy a rather middling arrangement, and even Divya Kumar's singing isn't utilized that well here.
There seems to be no stopping Sachin Jigar this year. Just four months after that winning soundtrack for Go Goa Gone, the composers up the ante even further with Shuddh Desi Romance. This definitely is their best work yet!

Shuddh Desi Romance is all set to release on this september 6th.
Shuddh Desi Romance is an upcoming bollywood romantic comedy film directed by Maneesh Sharma. Set to release on Sept 6, it has Shushant Singh Rajpoot, Parineeti Chopra, Rishi Kapoor and Vaaani Kapoor in key roles.
Expectations:- Shuddh Desi Romance is definitely a very keenly awaited movie of 2013. Owing to the genre of the film, there is enough score for a magical soundtrack, in fact it is a requirement too. Moreover, when you have the tried and tested duo of Sachin-Jigar at the helm, anything less than a cracking album is always underwhelming.
The Reality:- True to its name, the soundtrack of Shuddh Desi Romance is very refreshing, light-hearted and most importantly,very lovable.The duo of Sachin-Jigar have once again shown what they are capable of. Jaideep Sahni as the lyricist too has done a good job.There are total nine tracks in all, five of them being instrumentals (surely, a bit too much). However,each track has its own beauty and lifts the spirits of the listener.
Fab Four :-
You may also like these :- Instrumentals
Hard Talk :- The music album on offer is decent but not quite magical.The presence of too many instrumentals takes the sheen of this otherwise beautiful album.Sachin-Jigar are always there or there about (read at top) but somehow,always tend to give it away in the final moments,which is the case here too. A couple more vocal tracks could have definitely taken it to a different level altogether.
Final Verdict :- On the whole, the soundtrack on offer is sweet, refreshing and very likable. Sure, the romance is very much desi, but whether it is Shuddh(read magical) is a tough question to answer.
Free Advice :- If you love that mushy-mushy kind of romance, then go for it otherwise there is always the next time.

Did you know that the Shuddh Desi Romance couple Parineeti Chopra and Sushant Singh Rajput spent three days together in the same room?
Now before you jump on the surprise bandwagon and start making wild guesses, let us tell you that they did it just to get into the skin of their respective characters.
Since it was the first time that Sushant and Parineeti were coming together onscreen, director Maneesh Sharma wanted them to be comfortable with each other and wanted to create an informal chemistry between the cute duo which plays a couple in a live-in relationship.
The song Tere Mere Beech which features Parineeti and Sushant was shot during this duration.
Parineeti and Sushant may be just one or two movies old but with this they have proved that their commitment is no less than their Bollywood seniors!
The duo of Sachin-Jigar composing music for films, have remained on the fringe so far, but that is about to change with the soundtrack of 'Shuddh Desi Romance'. It is a career resurrection, a big league break to be on the Yashraj music label.
The Chauhans, Sunidhi and Mohit start a tug of war on Tere Mere Beech Mein using a 'chaddar' to shed some light on their new found love life. The tuba-trombone-accordion intersperse warms the cockles of your heart and sets your feet up for some fancy footwork. It's almost like a smooth advert for a brand of dappled sunshine in your routine, damp, dull life.
The Saraiyas, (note the teaming) Jigar and Priya sing Gulabi. Lute instruments and harmonium, the folksy sounds of Rajasthan mixed with autotune vocals is gorgeous. Had the tempo been slow, one would return to Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Le Gaya ('Phagun') but the times are changing. Gulabi is as much modern as it is a vintage tribute to romance with breezy lyrics and spirited singing.
Divya Kumar's Chanchal Mann Ati Random starts off on a beaten track, then shifts to raga-rock interlude, and its Divya's song altogether, jumping genre hurdles with a catchy chorus chasing him through the maze.
The title track has its roots back in the nineties, when Govinda-Karishma shimmied to Jeth Ki Dopeher Mein Paaon Jalaye Hain, and other B movie spin-offs, most dubious of them, Asha Bhonsle screeching, 'macchi ban jaongi, kebab ban jaongi (holy cow!) in 'Sarhad'. Despite, Sachin-Jigar give their 'Shuddh Desi Romance' a zing of its own – coming-of-age lyrics, a 'pure' template to an old format?
Of the five instrumental tracks, and each one of them keeps getting better than the previous arrangement. These boys have something of a wizardry in arrangement, going latin, blues, desi, ambient – what a symposium of sounds.
Maneesh Sharma is back with his third venture after Band Baaja Baarat & Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl. This one will be his third venture with Yash Raj Films.
Sushant Singh Rajput (Kai Po Che fame), Parineeti Chopra, Rishi Kapoor & newcomer Vaani Kapoor complete the starcast.
Sachin - Jigar who are having a dream run this year get a golden oppurtunity to compose for a Yash Raj project. Super talented Jaideep Sahni has written the lyrics and also the movie.
1. Tere mere beech main - A perfect start to the soundtrack. The playful banter of words by Jaideep Sahni is put to great use by Sachin-Jigar who come up with a lovely melody. A breezy love song which will be on your lips from the moment you hear it. Mohit Chauhan & Sunidhi Chauhan are simply superb with their vocals. A special mention to the way the track begins with the noise of the street of an Indian city brings a smile to your face instantly.
Rating - 4/5
2. Gulabi - Things only get better with this song. Sachin-Jigar are in complete form with their music arrangement here and the result is fabulous. Jigar & Priya are spot on with their vocals. The fusion of desi lyrics with contemporary sound is thoroughly enjoyable. The harmonium is used to great effect in this track.
Rating - 4/5
3. Chanchal man ati random - The lyrics, music, singing everything hits the right note in this out and out desi fun number. As much as I enjoyed listening the song, Divya Kumar must have relished singing the super quirky lyrics even more. The song begins with the noise of birds early morning and how the character wakes up with the randomness of his mind doing flip flop, it is these small touches which adds to overall experience.
Rating - 3.5/5
4. Shuddh desi romance - When you have Benny Dayal & Shalmali Kholgade singing together you forget everything else about the song and get blown away by their vocals. Sachin-Jigar use the harmonium to great effect here too along with the contemporary sound. A fun number which has a lovely melody and lyrics going for it.
Rating - 4/5
5. Mujhe kiss kar sakte ho - From here onwards it is all instrumental pieces. At just over two minutes, it has lot to offer in terms of Spanish guitar, accordion, piano and they all come together to make it a very nice melody.
Rating - 4/5
6. Love in Jaipur - A very interesting fusion of Rajasthani vocals with a bluesy music arrangement. The end result is pretty good. An enjoyable piece of music.
Rating - 3.5/5
7. Tez waala attraction - It is more like a prequel to the chanchal mann ati random, so if you like the song you are likely to enjoy this piece of instrumental too.
Rating - 3/5
8. Boyfriend banogey - A prequel to the gulabi track, this one is a good build to the song. The idea of including these instrumental pieces with the soundtrack makes for a good experience from listeners point of view.
Rating - 3.5/5
9. Bhanwara ma bhatke - This one is alright and might work better on the screen as a background piece.
Rating - 3/5
The soundtrack remains true to the title of the movie. There is something very desi yet contemporary about the way each track has been designed.
The lyrics, lovely melodies, fabulous vocals all come together to create a great album which is thoroughly enjoyable and easily one of the best this year.
Sachin-Jigar have delivered good albums consistently throughout the year and they raise the bar for themselves even more with this album.
Overall Rating - 4/5
My pick - The whole album :)
