Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the soundtrack album, by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, to the 2013 Hindi film of the same name, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra that stars Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor in the lead roles. The album features eight tracks, and was released digitally on 14 June 2013.
A.R. Rahman was expected to compose the soundtrack for the film as with previous two films of Mehra. But due to Rahman's packed schedules, Mehra opted for Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio, with whom he had collaborated before for various other projects.The reunion took place while Mehra visited the Kingdom of Dreams, where the trio had performed, and they brainstormed back at the hotel and came up with ideas for the music for the film.
The music rights were sold to Sony Music, who had produced the soundtrack to Mehra's earlier film Rang De Basanti.
The soundtrack was initially planned to be released on 21 June. However, due to increasing demand of the fans after the promos, Sony Music and ROMP decided to release the music online digitally a week before on 14 June. The album was officially launched later on 19 June, along with the films theatrical trailer. The function was attended by Milkha Singh and the films stars, Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor.

The album received critical acclaim upon release. Joginder Tuteja of Movie Talkies gave the album three and a half stars, stating "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is a very good album and it wins on quite a few accounts, especially in the fact that it never loses sight of the film's theme. Moreover, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who had not been in the Bollywood scheme of things for a while, return with a bang and demonstrate how they cannot be away from the scene for long.He also said that this album is not better than Mehra's previous movies Rang De Basanti and Delhi 6." Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog!, in his 200 words review, stated "The Amar-Akbar-Antony of Indian music open their 2013 account in style!"Music Aloud review praised the soundtrack calling it "after Chittagong and Vishwaroopam, it is three in a row for Shankar Ehsaan Loy".Glamsham, in their review, stated "An album like this will indeed prove to be a plus for the film when it releases all over on 12th July."
