      Background


      The soundtrack to Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai consisted of fast-paced, conventional numbers which were tuned for popular appeal. Rajesh teamed with journalist-poet Ibrahim Ashk and Vijay Akela, in the maiden film stint. Lucky Ali, who assisted Rajesh in his previous compositions, sang two songs for the film, while also assisting him in the chorus and instrumentation. Roshan adapted the tune of the "Voices", composed by Greek musician Vangelis for the eponymous album, for the tune of "Chand Sitare" and "Dil Ne Dil Ko Pukara". The latter has the tune playing throughout the entire song.


      Reception, sales and legacy


      Sabiha Kalolwala in her review for The Indian Express wrote "After a long time, here is an album which is a pleasure to listen to, through and through." Kanchana Suggu of Rediff.com called the music as "good" and "catchy".
      The soundtrack sold around 7 to 10 million units, becoming one of the decade's best-selling Bollywood soundtracks of all time. Rajesh, in an interview with Subhash K. Jha recalled that he was initially skeptical on composing Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), the subsequent film with Rakesh, and starred Hrithik, due to the success of the film, but admitted that Rakesh assisted him on scoring the tunes and made it less conventional.
