The songs are a big hit in India, sales of the album have reached 11 lakhs and the estimate is that it could go as high as 20 lakhs. However, it is not only in India that they are being declared hits, ‘Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, ‘Haule Haule’ and ‘Dance Pe Chance’ are also on radio stations hit lists internationally including the cities of London, Vancouver and Birmingham.
Jaideep Sahani, the lyricist on the soundtrack said that, “We composed the songs according to the mood and flavour of the script narrated by Adi (Aditya Chopra).” And since they did work to match the script, it is even sweeter to them that the songs are hit Salim and Suleiman said: “If songs that are composed according to the script become a hit, it is bound to make us happy.”
