The second track in the ending credits is "BKAB" by independent producer Ethan Stoller. It features excerpts of speeches by Malcolm X and Gloria Steinem. It also samples two Bollywood songs one of which is "Chura ke dil meraaa .. goriya chali", composed by Anu Malik, a Bollywood music director.
Several songs used in the film were omitted from the soundtrack.
