Star/Boom Boom is the second studio album by Pakistani pop duo Nazia and Zoheb (Nazia Hassan & Zohaib Hassan), released in 1982.[1][2][3][self-published source] The Bollywood film Star used the album's music as its soundtrack.[3] The album was thus also released as Star, a Bollywood music soundtrack album. The album featured music composed by British-Indian producer Biddu.[4]

The music was a blend of Eastern and Western music, and the album enjoyed the same success as the duo's previous album Disco Deewane (1981).[5] The album was re-released as Boom Boom in 1984,[5] and was later re-released in 2004.[6] The album, along with several other albums from Biddu and the Hassan duo, contributed to the creation of the Indi-pop market.[2]

  1. ^ The Herald, Volume 38, Issues 7-9, 2007: "It would not be amiss to say that music was never the same again after "Aap Jaisa Koi..." Over the next several years Nazia and Zoheb continued to rock not just the Pakistani but also the Indian disco scene; Disco Deewane that broke sales records across the subcontinent was followed by four more albums - Boom Boom, Young Tarang, Hotline and Camera Camera - released between 1982 and 1992. They were also pioneering enough to release videos of their tracks — another first."
