Rating – 7
Music Director – Vishal-Shekhar
Lyrics – Vishal Dadlani
Film Director – Sujoy Ghosh
Film Release – 30 October 2009

The soundtrack for the 2009 fantasy-adventure film Aladin is a vibrant and experimental collection composed by the duo Vishal–Shekhar. Released under the Eros Music label, the album is notable for featuring superstar Amitabh Bachchan in multiple tracks, including the high-energy “Genie Rap” and the folksy, nostalgic “O Re Saawariya“. The 8-track album blends various genres, from the breezy romantic ballad “You May Be“—widely considered the album’s standout—to the disco-influenced “Bachke O Bachke“. Despite the film’s poor box office performance, the soundtrack received praise for its punchy arrangements and the unique vocal contributions from the lead cast, including a track by Sanjay Dutt
