The soundtrack of the film finds itself in the hands of Salim Merchant and Sulaiman Merchant, who have musical successes like Neal n Nikki, Hum Tum and rocking numbers of Dhoom and Kaal under their belt.
The Salim–Sulaiman duo recreates magic with the title track Chak De India sung by the ever versatile and spirited Sukhwinder Singh. Marianne Dcruz sports the English lyrics. The number with its catchy tune will surely find a place in the charts soon.
Badal Pe Paon Hai, sung by Hema Sardesai, is a situational song with a women-of-today feel to it. And there is more than one reason why it reminds you of certain Fair n Lovely and Ponds jingles.
Next on the track we have the motivating voice of Shahrukh Khan introducing the hockey team, which is too verbose to qualify as a song, but might be worth watching on the 70 mm screen.
Anushka Manchanda, of the VIVA fame, has lent her husky voice to Bad, Bad Girls. The song manages to capture your attention with its lyrics. It is all set to make you stir in your seats and tap your feet to its catchy beats.
You are taken to a completely different level with the qawaali Maula Mere Lele Meri Jaan, sung by Krishna and Salim Merchant. It is the only soulful track of the album and has a melancholy feel to it.
Hockey Remix by Gaurav and Tapan Raj of Medieval Punditz, has a similar tone as Ek Hockey Doongi Rakh Ke but with a lot more punch and gusto added to it.
The fast paced beats get your adrenaline rushing. It is definitely more promising than the original score.
Sattar Minute by Shahrukh Khan is a pep talk to the hockey team. The saving grace is that it does not last as long.
Overall, the album tries to break-free from the branded Yash Raj music. It offers refined vocals, but is far from achieving the chartbusting status.
It is a mediocre attempt from the power-packed team of Salim-Sulaiman.
