The soundtrack of the movie has been well-recieved by the general public; although there have been comments about the predictability of music soundtracks from Yash Raj Films. Despite this piece of criticism, the soundtrack comprises odd songs from all different styles and new types of genres; and not to forget the fantastic marketing techniques and visual appeal that Yash Raj Films produce, this is definitely going to be one of the most successful albums of 2007!
