The film’s accompanying soundtrack on the film is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Akhtar and Kapoor sang all parts of their respective songs.[46] The soundtrack was as pivotal as the script according to Saudagar. They didn’t wanted just a few hit songs. Shankar composed the music side-by-side when Chaudhuri was working on the script.[8] The soundtrack also features music from Shillong-based band Somersault.
