Soundtrack

Anand–Milind composed the music of this film. Sameer wrote the lyrics.

The song "Dil Mera Churane Laga" was quite popular when the album released, especially for Sunny Deol's dance moves. The tune of "Haule Haule Dil Dole" was inspired from the Telugu song "Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju" from the film Rakshasudu (1986), which was composed by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja. The tune of "Dil Mera Udaas Hai" was inspired from the Tamil song "Aasaiya Kathula" from the film Johnny (1980), which also was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.
