Background

edit

According to Rajesh, Koi... Mil Gaya was more difficult to compose for in comparison to his other films as it came after the success of Kaho Naa...Pyar Hai (2000) increasing the expectations from the audience. Rajesh had persuaded consciously on doing something different than usual, a technique that he previously employed in Kaho Naa...Pyar Hai. Rakesh would assist him on composing the score, that stood true to his ideas. He intended on scoring fast-paced tunes for the film, but Rakesh told him to redo it so that it would be less conventional.[1] The album was sold for ₹50 million (US$600,000) to Saregama who released it on 28 May 2003.[2][3]

Reception

edit

Critical response to the album was positive.[1][4] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama concluded, "In all, the music ... doesn't disappoint. Though we may not be able to compare its music with the earlier Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai by the same team, it has its share of plus points going in its favour."[5] Planet Bollywood's Anish Khanna declared "Jaadoo Jaadoo" as the best song from the soundtrack album.[2] In a less-positive review, Narendra Kusnur from Mid-Day opined that it "loses out on consistency".[6] The Hindu concluded the title song was "the unique selling point" of the film, referring to it as a "sonorous number", praising Chithra's singing.[7] The critic added, "The lyrics of all the songs are simple and easily understandable. Rajesh Roshan is able to impart a certain freshness to the music."[7]

Although Anupama Chopra claimed that the sales of the soundtrack would fall short of 1 million copies due to piracy,[3] the film-trade website Box Office India, reported that the soundtrack album sold 2.1 million copies becoming the fourth-highest-selling Bollywood soundtrack of the year.[8]
