Billo Rani is crowd-pleasing alright, but is also a tad too hackneyed techno-qawali. Neeraj Shridhar however scores big time in the very rhythmic and groovy, Pritam-trademark, Ish ka kalma. Hey dude and Halla bol are ideally meant to inspire the teams in the film, but Pritam himself seems rather uninspired in these two predictable and flat tracks. Javed Ali’s Tara ru is a shade better with Javed Akhtar’s words faring considerably better in a tune that builds up the tempo in an understated, rousing way. Goal’s music, for most parts, is ordinary. For a sports-themed film, that’s a bad start!
