Kareena's song is out:
The music itself belongs to the sonic wallpaper school of thought, and the walrus mustache does Akshay no favors, but Kareena looks lovely and she and he play off each other very well.

Chitrangda Singh's item number, composed and with backup vocals by Yo Yo Honey Singh; I've seen complaints about the lyrics being raunchy, but haven't seen a translation to know how objectionable the content is (the transcriptions don't seem to include any of the handful of "bad words" I know in Hindi). Visually, it's a pretty standard, moderately risque belly-dance inspired item number (serving the pretty standard function of being the entertainment at a party thrown by the villains), livened up by Chitrangda's flirty expressions and the random intercut fight scenes.

here's a couple of videos:
Coffee Peetey Peetey (Shruti's character's romantic fantasies):
For the record Shruti is scared of heights, so that one shot towards the end was tough on her. Zee Music tends to be sloppy at cutting promotional videos for longer (or more spoilery) picturizations, and that shows here; and keeps me from getting a feel for how much of the awkwardness is intentional (the equivalent songs in the South Indian versions are largely about a woman crushing on a man who sees her as a platonic friend). We do get Shruti dancing a little bit though.
There's also a rap number title track "Warna Gabbar aa Jayenga", which seemed to be inoffensive in terms of lyrics and catchy if you like that kind of thing, but since the video is just rotoscoped versions of the action scenes (and other spoilers), and most people on this forum don't care for Hindi/Punjabi rap, I haven't bothered linking to it. But here's my favorite dialogue promos:
