Kurbaan's rave reviews extends to its foot-tapping soundtrack as well. The brother duo Salim-Suleiman, who have belted out hits like Shukran allah and Ali maula, have scored earlier in films like Dor, No Entry and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya.
Nithya Ramani caught up with the composers and quizzed them on their Kurbaan tunes.
Kurbaan's songs have a Sufi touch.
Salim: Karan wanted the songs to have a Sufi touch.
We were working on Koochi Koochi Hota Hai [an animated film, based on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai] when Karan came to us with the script of Kurbaan. Though it is mainly a background score, we have composed songs too.
Suleiman: The story floored us -- it was thrilling and most importantly, it had Saif [Ali Khan] and Kareena [Kapoor].
Salim: With a script like Kurbaan, the music just flows. For example, Shukran Allah is a song where Saif's character is thanking God for giving him the love of this life, Avantika [Kareena]. In the song he is saying, 'thank you Allah, and all the praise in this world is for you'.
