As promised I give you the OST extracted (and a bit cleaned up) from the film Mainz Raat. In addition to original compositions, I have included some interesting dialogues, background scores and folk melodies.

5th Track is a harvesting folk song.
Track 6 covers some dialogues.
Track 7 and 8 are Kashmiri folk songs
Track 10 is a traditional Kashmiri song for Mainz Raat.
