‘Raees’ makers to release original sound track, inspired by ‘Sholay’ album

The makers of Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees will be releasing the original sound track mixed with some of the dialogues from the film. It’ll be separate from the music album.

The director of the film, Rahul Dholakia, says the inspiration behind the move is the iconic ‘Sholay’ album – which has some of the most memorable dialogues ever.

“I was a kid when ‘Sholay’ released, but I do remember listening to Gabbar’s theme and the iconic dialogues on radio. So, when the idea came up about the original sound track.. I was most excited”

“We have some killer themes and extremely punchy dialogues – imagine the combination of both! That would be really cool as no one has done it before, and we have the substance so why not?” Dholakia said in a statement.

The film is scheduled to release in theatres on January 25.

  • Comparing this Pakistani movie with iconic movie of Indian cinema is big insult
    It’s true that rice has some good Dialogue but comparing it with sholey is big insult to Indian cinema

  • The makers of Sholay released a special album which consisted all the iconic dialogues of the movie . Those albums got sold like a hot cake . Apart from SRK and Excel Entertainment this film will be a huge test for Rahul Dholakia as he is making his first commercial film and also working with a Superstar for the first time . All his movies before Raees have been offbeat and have been made on a reasonable budget . 8 days to go for Kaabil and Raees .

  • Indicine I asked this question twice before (once on AskIndicine) but u didn’t respond. My question is that can Raees open at 24crs on Day1…?

    It’s a short question that requires a short answer please..!

  • By the way Raees background score is phenomenal! Fantastic to say the least, best for a SRK-film since Om Shanti Om.

  • Marketing strategy for Raees is incredibly good, I’m very impressed by Excel as they usually don’t promote well their movies. I really hope this one will be a 150+ cr grosser. For a clash, this would be an epic nomber. Best of luck to the King and to Hrithik !

  • @The Phenom…. don’t write lie to create buzz… CE and HNY had higher buzz than Raees but I know why u r saying so,… to increase more buzz for the reader of Indicine, but that lie won’t work.

  • Ya yes.buzz is tremendous on social media but will it translate to ticket sales that’s the question to be asked bcoz srk fans don’t watch it on big screen.BTW indicine pls update OK jaanu n dangals collections.still so much time is left for u to promote Rae’s.

  • More media created hype…!

    Once film releases n flops then media will say “Indians are racists for rejecting a Paki film…” etc etc etc

  • Shootout At Paglapur may become Peasantstans very own equivalent to Sholay but in Indias theres only 1 Sholay n 1 Thakur who is the iconic Thakur of Sholay…!

  • @The Phenom, be real Indicine can only predict based on hype and Buzz, but your asking a question to Indicine which anybody can predict?? I hope it opens more than 24 crore personally and becomes a massive success, good luck to team Kaabil as well

  • Making a film based in the 70’s/ 80s setting is a joke- Sajid Khan gave us a 80s looking crapfest in the form of Himmatwala n he was rightly ridiculed but our dadaji has gone a decade further back in time by recreating the aura of Sholay…! What a joke

  • In sholay Gabbar: Holi kab hai kab hai holi…………..

    In twitter Dholakia: Eid kab hai kab hai Eid

    Ye bhi ussi se hai!!!

  • The phenomenal idiot….strikes again !! After losing the bet big time and shameless enough to still continue with old id on this forum..

  • I’m not surprised ,Srk always do great Marketing of his every film to get good Opening no.s ,He knows film will crash after weekend ,so jitna kama le weekend me utna acha hai….
    Overpromoting like his every crap film….
    Audience is not fool mr Shah ,Raees will be another flop of ur career

  • @the Phenom…how did you know background score of Raees is fantastic????? u saw the movie…hahahaha

    last time you predict Dilwale like baazigar and its manage only HIT…whereas if Baazigar release now it will be ATBB…

  • @pheno,if buzz is greatest for a SRK film,it shld beat dangal at any cost then.see u after it releases.

    btw change ur ID to phenomonal idiot as u have lost the bet by record earth shattering biz. of dangal.

  • Hell.. those people saying here “Comparing Raees with sholay is Insult” When, where n who is comparing Sholay with Raees. They are just following the concept of releasing track with dialogues which was done by sholay.. How does that mean comparing both films with each other???

  • I was not much interested in Raees. This was the least excited Srk movie in the last 10yrs. But, Raees is becoming my most awaited movie & each passing day i am like (Indicine should allowed GIF or PICS to express reactions)…….

  • Amazing
    “We have some killer themes and extremely punchy dialogues – imagine the combination of both! That would be really cool as no one has done it before, and we have the substance so why not?”

    Awesome strategy by Raees Makers wow.
