would be easier to do with mediaBlock:
{if $theme.pageType == 'album'} {php}@readfile('http://www.wallpaperhungama.com/mediaBlock.php?g2_itemId={$theme.item.id}&mode=dynamic&g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum&limit=10&useThumb=1&column=10{/php} {else if $theme.pageType == 'photo'} {php}@readfile('http://www.wallpaperhungama.com/mediaBlock.php?g2_itemId={$theme.parent.id}&mode=dynamic&g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum&limit=10&useThumb=1&column=10{/php} {/if}-s

try:
{if $theme.pageType == 'album'} {php}@readfile('http://www.wallpaperhungama.com/mediaBlock.php?g2_itemId='.$this->_tpl_vars['theme']['item']['id'].'&mode=dynamic&g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum&limit=10&useThumb=1&column=10');{/php} {else if $theme.pageType == 'photo'} {php}@readfile('http://www.wallpaperhungama.com/mediaBlock.php?g2_itemId='.$this->_tpl_vars['theme']['parent']['id'].'&mode=dynamic&g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum&limit=10&useThumb=1&column=10');{/php} {/if}and you must have the dynamic albums module installed/active

Just tested this code, forgot to close those statements.
This works:
<center> {if $theme.pageType == 'album'} <h3>Other items from the {$theme.item.title} album</h3> {php}@readfile('http://testr.suprsidr.com/mediaBlock.php?g2_itemId='.$this->_tpl_vars['theme']['item']['id'].'&mode=dynamic&g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum&limit=10&useThumb=1&column=10&useMicro=90');{/php} {else if $theme.pageType == 'photo'} <h3>Other items from the {$theme.parent.title} album</h3> {php}@readfile('http://testr.suprsidr.com/mediaBlock.php?g2_itemId='.$this->_tpl_vars['theme']['parent']['id'].'&mode=dynamic&g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum&limit=10&useThumb=1&column=10&useMicro=90');{/php} {/if} </center>using useMicro to control the size for the space example

you'd need to check for dynamic albums as they have no id.
from:
{if $theme.pageType == 'album'}to:
{if $theme.pageType == 'album' && $theme.item.entityType != 'GalleryDynamicAlbum'}you could also have a default id for dynamic albums

actually i m not using if then and simply added ur code in album.tpl so adding GalleryDynamicAlbum wont make any difference
my question is where should i put if then else statement in theme.tpl to have the random images from parent album below image as it is now shown
<body class="gallery"> <div {g->mainDivAttributes}> {* * Some module views (eg slideshow) want the full screen.

I'd add it where you want it to appear.
just above <div id="gsFooter"> for what you're doing on your site.
