Race is the soundtrack album of the 2008 film of the same name directed by Abbas–Mustan and produced by Tips Industries. The album features 17 compositions: seven original songs, nine remixes and instrumental theme. Pritam composed the soundtrack which featured lyrics written by Sameer, and the remix versions were produced by DJ Suketu. The soundtrack was released under the Tips music label on 25 January 2008. The album received positive reviews from critics.
The song "Khwab Dekhe (Sexy Lady)" sung by Monali Thakur and Neeraj Shridhar was recorded after the release of the soundtrack, replacing the original song "Mujh Pe Toh Jadoo" in the film. Tips then re-distributed the soundtrack, adding "Khwab Dekhe (Sexy Lady)" after the release of the film.
Reception
Joginder Tuteja in his review for Bollywood Hungama, called it as "an overall entertaining album". "Race's soundtrack is typical Pritam – rhythmic, with an assortment of interesting sounds from world music." Khalid Mohamed of Hindustan Times mentioned that the music "suffer from a serious Dhoom 2 complex."
According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 1,700,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's fifth highest-selling.
Controversy
The song "Pehli Nazar Mein" and "Zara Zara Touch Me" were alleged on the accounts of plagiarism from the Korean song "Sa Rang Haeo" of Korean series Sassy Girl Chun-hyang and Leehom Wang's "Deep Within a Bamboo Grove". Sony BMG Taiwan has issued a legal letter to Tips Industries claiming damages for the song "Zara Zara Touch Me".
Future
After the success of Race, Pritam returned to score music for Race 2 (2013). Like the first film, the music received positive reviews. The third instalment Race 3 (2018) did not feature Pritam as the composer due to the change in technical crew. However, Pritam's music group JAM8 reworked on the song "Allah Dua Hai" originally composed for Race 2, for the threequel.
