The title track of Gehraiyaan is a musical ode to love and longing, and has been beautifully sung by Lothika Jha. The song takes us deeper into the lives of Deepika Padukone-Dhairya Karwa and Siddhant Chaturvedi-Ananya Panday.There might be more to what meets the eye in a relationship. And the title track of Gehraiyaan is just hinting at that. The unrequited love and unfulfilled dreams when you’re around your partner, and when you aren’t. We know that the Shakun Batra film, starring Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Dhairya Karwa, revolves around the complexities of modern-day romance, touching upon themes like infidelity, commitment and desires. The latest song is a musical ode to love and longing, building upon the premise aptly.
The title track includes new footage from the film, taking us deeper into the lives of the two couples played by Deepika Padukone-Dhairya Karwa and Siddhant Chaturvedi-Ananya Panday who are growing apart due to monotony. It goes for a toss when Deepika’s Alisha and Siddhant’s Zain get into a forbidden relationship that cannot be named. We had previously heard a portion of the track in the film’s trailer. It is laced with an enigmatic melody, an ethereal music arrangement, and compelling lyrics talks about the feeling of love and longing. The track, composed by Kabeer a.k.a OAFF and Savera, has been designed by Ankur Tewari and and written by Kausar Munir. While the music features a fresh sound brought to life by violins, organs, snare on reverb, the lyrics perfectly emote the intense narrative of the film and its characters. The title song is a Hindi adaptation of the original song, Frontline and has been performed by the same artists and features vocals by Lothika Jha.
Gehraiyaan also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, and Dhairya Karwa as leads, and towering artistes like Naseeruddin Shah and Rajat Kapur in pivotal roles. Directed by Shakun Batra, the film will be available to stream on Prime Video from February 11.
