The music of the film has been composed by multiple music-directors like Ashu, Samir Tondon, Roshan Machado and Mahesh Shankar.

Synopsis: 99 is an original story inspired by real events. It is as much ''what could have been'' as it is ''what really happened''. In other words, it is historical fiction - fiction being the key word. It spans a few genres, it is slick, fast-paced, realistic and importantly, very funny. In this ''smart comedy'' set in 1999, all the characters are bound by a common feeling of being stuck at 99 life - just one short of a 'century' - that elusive a thing called ''making it'' in life! 99 is an unpredictable and hilarious ride spread over two cities with colourful characters, unbelievable circumstances, small-time crooks, big-time conspiracies, fateful car crashes, loads of office, a briefcase full of money, a budding romance...and a historical controversy brewing in the background! Characters Sketch: Kunal Khemu as Sachin Boman Irani as Rahul Cyrus Broacha as Zaramud Vinod Khanna as JC Soha Ali Khan as Pooja Mahesh Manjrekar as AGM Amit Mistry as Kuber Simone Singh as Jahanvi
