Guide Note
Primarily made up of score music, the soundtrack to Darjeeling Limited features songs by The Kinks, as well as the first appearance of a Rolling Stones song on a Wes Anderson soundtrack.
Given the film's setting, many of the soundtrack cues are actual score selections from other Indian films, most of which were either Satyajit Ray's or from Merchant Ivory Productions.
