Reflecting on the film’s musical journey, Rahman and Ghai shared fond memories of its creation. “It feels like yesterday,” Rahman remarked, recalling the different studios where they worked. “The memories are still fresh.” Ghai lauded Rahman’s brilliance, stating, “When you have a composer like him, you have a god with you.”

The director further reminisced about Rahman’s talent, recalling how he composed Ishq Bina with limited resources. "The man is more important than the machine. The composer’s soul and heart shape the music," Ghai said.

The film’s legendary soundtrack, including hits like Taal Se Taal Mila and Ishq Bina, remains a timeless favorite among music lovers.
