Race film song are highly popular among audience and chart buster among music channel. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 17,00,000 units sold, this film’s soundtrack album was the year’s fifth highest-selling.
Atif Aslam – the song “Pehli Nazar Mein” and “Zara Zara Touch Me” are biggets hit among all this song.
Aakash Gandhi appreciate the music by saying that “Pritam gives us a fairly solid music, similar to of a lot of his 2006 works. However, he doesn’t quite live up to the expectations he’d set for himself last year. Although, one thing is for sure – he always manages to come up with at least one really great composition in each of his outings. This time it’s Pehli Nazar Mein.”
Atta Khan write on his column that “the music of Race turns out to be a typical Pritam offering for a bigger profile movie; a few solid tracks that will make the intended impact on screen (especially for the promos) and could well elevate sales for the soundtrack as well. But in all other respects it is unspectacular, unoriginal and uninspiring and apart from ‘Pehli Nazar Mein’ and a few nice remixes by DJ Suketu, provides little scope for repeated listening”.
