Album Description
Available in:
The soundtrack of the film was composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi. The soundtrack was released on 12 June 1999 and it become a big critical and commercial success. At a press conference, Ghai remarked, "I credit the name of the movie to composer A.R.Rahman. This movie is a romance and I could have called it any thing – Dil, Pyaar, Hum Bhaag Gaye, but it was Rahman's presence in the movie that gave me the confidence to call it Taal. Taal means music and music means Taal. The whole credit goes to A.R.Rahman and Anand Bakshi. Rahman kept me awake many nights, but after listening to the songs, I felt it was worth all the trouble."

The soundtrack became a tremendous success, and was sold more than 1.85 million units within a month of its release. It went on to sell 4 million units, becoming the best-selling soundtrack for a 1999 Hindi film. The soundtrack made the list of "Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks of All Time", as compiled by Planet Bollywood.

User Album Review
Bollywood legend A. R. Rahman has an obvious gift for melody, but his soundtrack for Taal is one of the best examples of his gift for turning out galvanizing grooves. With a story that goes heavy on the dance numbers, Taal offers an ideal opportunity for the composer to let loose on a flood of rhythms, whether it’s in the sensual undulations of "Kahin Aag Lage," the primal gut punch of "Ni Main Samajh Gayee," or the polyrhythmic parade of "Beat of Passion."
