Soundtrack

The music for this movie was given by Anu Malik with lyrics penned by Indeevar.

The song "Aaya Toofan" was the last song sung by Kishore Kumar for an Amitabh
Bachchan film before his death. It is also the only film that Suresh Wadkar sung
for Amitabh Bachchan. Although Kishore Kumar was one of the playback singers in the
film, his name did not appear on the credit title which comes at the end of the
film, but other singers were all credited.

The song "Haa Bhai Haa" was sampled from the Iranian song "Havar Havar" by Kourosh
Yaghmaei which has also inspired the Hindi songs "Jawan Jawan Ishq Jawan Hai" and
"Aaya Aaya" from Govinda's Billoo Badshah and Sunny Deol's Aag Ka Gola
respectively. The song "Don't Worry Be Happy" drew inspiration from Bobby
McFerrin's song "Don't Worry Be Happy".
