Reception
In a 2015 review of Bombay disco compilation albums, Jeffery S. McMillan described Bappi Lahiri's "Taqdeer Ka Badshah" as a "12-minute epic tour de force...Boasting everything from a gamelan-like bell sequence to muscular volleys by a brass section, 'Taqdeer' settles into a steady dance groove with Bappi again handling the singing duties in call and response with a chorus."
