The film's soundtrack album was composed by Anu Malik.

The song "I Love You, I Love You" was reportedly plagiarized from Pakistani Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo".[5][6] Khan was reportedly aggrieved when Malik turned his spiritual "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo" into "I Love You, I Love You".[5] Khan said "He has taken my devotional song Allahu and converted it into I love you. He should at least respect my religious songs."[6]
