In all his glory, Kumar Sanu sings, “Ek Ladki Ko Dekha”, the song is as whimsical and breezy as it is picturized. The light soft tune has a backdrop of a soft drum backdrop, which is complimented superbly by the sitar. The song being on of Sanu’s biggest hits cannot only be identified by the classes but the masses as well. The adornment of a love has been brought out simply excellently here.
The film's original songs were composed by R.D. Burman with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. R.D. Burman won his last Filmfare Award for Best Music Director and Javed Akthar bagged the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist.
