The soundtrack of the film features music composed by Vishal Bhardwaj and lyrics written by Abbas Tyrewala.

Released by BMG Crescendo in May 2002, the album marked the company's entry into the Hindi film music market.

Kashyap had previously seen former VJ Luke Kenny perform in a play directed by Vikram Kapadia.

Impressed by Kenny’s performance, Kashyap approached him with a partially completed script, but the collaboration did not materialize.
