CORPORATE is an expose, tackling the underbelly of the world of business and the film's music reflects all that goes on behind the glittering, glossy exterior of corporate world.

Shamir Tandon, who had previously composed music for PAGE 3, has composed music of CORPORATE. The CORPORATE tracks are a heady mix of racy and soothing numbers sung by talented and renowned names like Asha Bhonsle, Kailash Kher, Sapna Mukherjee, Alisha Chinai, Vasundhara Das and Gary Lawyer.

Talking about the music of the film, Director Madhur Bhandarkar states, "Music is a very essential part of any film and it follows the flow of the film. The songs take the narration of the film forward and thus form an integral part of the film as a whole."

"Scoring music for non-musical subjects is very difficult. Madhur Bhandarkar makes hard hitting realistic cinema and it's not possible to place unwanted songs in his films. All tracks that we compose are very relevant and brief-driven. Madhur and my musical tastes match and with him I get a free hand to recreate melodies of the past. We got a lot of critical acclaim for our music in PAGE 3 and I pray that our audiences at large appreciate our music in CORPORATE as well", says Music Director Shamir Tandon.

Shontanu Aditya, CEO, Sahara One Motion Pictures adds, "Bollywood is now ready to experiment with unconventional cinema and CORPORATE is our endeavour towards contributing to a meaningful movie experience. The music of CORPORATE is in perfect sync with the film's story and all songs are in characteristic Madhur Bhandarkar style."

Sandeep Bhargava says, "We have tasted success with the wining combination of Madhur Bhandarkar and Shamir Tandon, earlier with PAGE 3 and hope to achieve the same, once again with CORPORATE. The key is to make music that gels with the script and story, which Shamir manages to achieve flawlessly yet again.
