Soundtrack The score and soundtrack were composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. This was supposed to be the first Bollywood project of Rahman which he signed before Rangeela. But due to undisclosed reasons, release of the film was delayed. Rahman reused the song "Anjali Anjali" from 1994 Tamil film ''Duet'' as "Mil Gayi Mil Gayi" as per the director's request. This is the only song sung by Kumar Sanu for A. R. Rahman.Reviewer of ''Screen India'' said, "A. R. Rahman spins another fizzy, frothy score for this long overdue film. This is vintage Rahman — resolutely stub — born in style — yet, it makes for much pleasant listening." The soundtrack also proved popular upon release.The official track listing:The song "Tu Hi Tu" was remastered as "Manase Manase" in the Tamil movie Nenjinile.
