7 Khoon Maaf is the soundtrack to the 2011 film of the same name directed, produced and composed by Vishal Bhardwaj starring Priyanka Chopra. The film's nine-song soundtrack featured lyrics written by Gulzar, Javed Sheikh and Ajinkya Iyer and released digitally on 24 January 2011 and in physical formats the following day. The album received positive reviews from music critics.

Background and release

Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar worked on the film's soundtrack, post their successive decade-long collaborations, while Javed Sheikh co-wrote "Bekaraan" with Gulzar and "O' Mama" by Ajinkya Iyer.[1] The song "Darling" is inspired by the Russian folk song "Kalinka". The track itself featured Russian words in the lyrics as in the film's context, one of Susanna's husbands was Russian.[2] Bhardwaj brought four singers from Russia to record the vocals, and also credited the track on the album cover as well as the film.[3] "Tere Liye", sung by Suresh Wadkar, was not used in the film. The soundtrack was digitally released via Ovi (Nokia) internet service on 24 January 2011, and via CD on 25 January 2011. Chopra and Bhardwaj launched the album at the Radio City and Radio Mirchi offices in Mumbai, where all the songs aired live on those stations during the physical release.[4][5]
