The film's audio was digitally released on 12 December 2011,[5] and a physical release of the album took place on 16 December at the Radio City FM station (Mumbai) with the composer duo, lyricist and the director in attendance.[6]
The music of Agneepath has received positive reviews from critics. Joginder Tuteja praised the compositions and added that "Chikni Chameli" would be responsible for the rise in sales of the album.[9] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave the album 3 out of 5 stars and said that the film's soundtrack was better than that of the original, while praising the composition of the songs "Deva Shree Ganesha" and "O Saiyyan".[10] A review carried by the BBC summed up, "Blessedly free of unnecessary remixes, Agneepath is a well-crafted, evocative collection of songs that proves the adage that, when it comes to Indian music composers, sometimes two heads can be better than one.[11] The song "Chikni Chameli" was extremely well received and topped the music charts.[2]
In January 2012, a plagiarism suit was filed against Sony Music and Dharma Productions by a Mumbai-based engineer, for lifting and featuring the song "O Saiyyan" in the album. The Nagpur High Court ordered Johar to release the film, only after truncating the use of the song in it.[12]
A poetic version...if you please...
Within me somewhere,
a bit of life remains still ..
With renewed heartbeats,
being alive is what I feel
An unknown persistence
this moment has brought,
Where was this moment before ?
So long that I have sought
Now that I on its threshold
All I want is to feel its lore
Tell me should I just die
Or rather strive for a bit more?
Should I embrace the bliss,
or is it just tears that is in store,
Tell me should I just die
Or rather strive for a bit more?
Sweltering under the ruthless sun
Found the tree where shade loomed
Like the smile of an angry child
After cajoling it again bloomed
Many a thing similar in my heart unfold
And anoint the pains that are ages old
Such demulcent compassion
this moment has brought,
Where was this moment before ?
So long that I have sought,
Now that I am on its threshold
All that I want is to feel its lore
Tell me should I just die
Or rather strive for a bit more?
Should I embrace the bliss,
or is it just tears that is in store,
Tell me should I just die
Or rather strive for a bit more?
Like a severed kite falling through the sky
Has been my life all along I find,
today I am still holding on,
Tomorrow may not be that kind.
But everyday it used to be a tale of mine
Now a new bond holds my string from behind,
Why yet again after such a long time,
A concern for things to come mystify my mind?
Such sting for longing
this moment has brought,
Where was this moment before ?
So long that I have sought,
Now that I am on its threshold
All that I want is to feel its lore
Tell me should I just die
Or rather strive for a bit more?
Should I embrace the bliss,
or is it just tears that is in store,
Tell me should I just die
Or rather strive for a bit more?
How should I tell her? She is leaving our college in 2 months. Each moment is giving me pain after listening this song. Where is that moment when i'll dare to tell her, she is my life. Don't know shall I be alive without her after two months.
I am so happy that songs like this can be made -Sonu Nigam and other singers who really value our tradition of Indian film music should educate our creators of Indian film music in this modern era to produce music and songs like that we heard in the golden era of Indian film music, the times of Rafisaab, Lataji, Kishoreda, Mukeshji, Ashaji, etc.Please do not westernize - we the audience hate that..especially falcetto voices, hip hop etc, lets modernize our Indian culture, don't Westernize it! Even DID, the dances are more acrobatic than dances and so Western; what happened to our Indianess! Lets get more songs like this...thank you.
this is not a song only. This is something which is equal to a power of support to enable you to go ahead and explore...a pessimistic gets a courage to die and forget his pain...an optimist gets enormous force to dig the earth and gets the ultimate for which he was waiting so long. A loneliness can be fulfilled with a big hug by the sole person by your side...just like a stressful life comes to an end suddenly and you are in the woods after opening your eyes...
I haven't seen the movie so I don't know the purpose this song was written for but It is amazing and every word is in sync with my every heartbeat....I can relate to it so much it brings tears to my eyes but no one else knows how much it means to me because it's hidden deep inside my heart in the most purest chamber :)
I had the opportunity to hear this song live during his Klose to my Soul concert that took place in Dallas... And now I can't stop listening to it. So in love with this song, the musical composition and the way it was sung. This is a masterpiece for sure! A classic! Beautiful! Cannot praise this song or the wonderful artist Sonu Nigam enough! Thank you for this priceless gem!
I chose this song to my 2 PM, after lunch alarm, to wake me up from sleepy mood to remind me to the losses I made & to look for those new ways to overcome and energise me. May be the voice suits my feeling.

Film buffs waiting for the release of Karan Johar'sAgneepathon January 26 might not get to see one of its popular songs-Oh Saiyya... as it has got tangled in copyright issues.

The court has ordered the defendants- Sony Music and five others apart fromKaran Joharand his production house Dharma Productions- to file their reply before January 27.
So, for the time being, the film would release without this number.Published By: AtMigration Published On: Jan 25, 2012--- ENDS ---
Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra starrer Agneepath created magic when it released in 2012. Agneepath is a revenge drama film in which Hrithik Roshan, as the lead character, plans to avenge his father's death by killing a spiteful villain, Kancha Cheena (played by Sanjay Dutt). The movie reportedly managed to earn over Rs.195 crores at the box office and was declared a blockbuster hit. Check out some of the iconic songs from Priyanka Chopra starrer Agneepath.
The song has been composed by well-known Marathi music director duo Ajay-Atul. The original version of this song was a tried and tested hit Marathi song Kombadi Palali. However, its remake, Chikni Chameli, was sung by Shreya Ghoshal and was a super hit. The song has a lot of energy, is catchy and also have a lyrical hook, which makes it a perfect Bollywood hit song.
O Saiyyan is a romantic, soulful and melancholic song which shows the shades of loneliness and longing. The track begins with a recurring note and builds up gradually. The melodious song has been sung by Roop Kumar Rathod, which brings a soothing, ghazal-like touch to the song.
Deva Shree Ganesha is a high energy devotional song. The song starts with bells of different pitches fused and then the introduction of percussions. The entire song gives out a Mumbai Ganesh Visarjan-like feel. The vocals are rendered by one of the composers himself (Ajay Gogavale), who is known for having similarity with Sukhwinder Singh for his style and delivery.
