 Upon release, the soundtrack of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham ... emerged as a major success by selling 2.5 million units within 30 days. Additionally, it became the largest selling album of the year in India. Writing for Rediff, Sukanya Varma praised most of the compositions, while being critical of the song "Say Shava Shava" due to the "overdose of Punjabi emotions". She summed up by saying, "The music of K3G has a presence. Hate it or love it, you certainly won 't ignore it." Planet Bollywood gave it 8 of 10 stars, calling "Suraj Hua Maddham" the best song, and the best reason to buy the album. In 2002, Sony released another album titled Klub K3G, featuring remixes by Indian electronic music producers Akshai Sarin, Harshdeep Sidhu, Prempal Hans and others.
