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".[3][4] Khan was reportedly aggrieved when Malik turned his spiritual "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo" into "I Love You, I Love You".[3] Khan said "He has taken my devotional song Allahu and converted it into I love you. He should at least respect my religious songs."[4]
