Raw, real and atmospheric: The music of ‘Gehraiyaan’

Composer-producer Kabeer Kathpalia and singer Lothika Jha talk to us about the soundtrack of the upcoming Shakun Batra-directed romance drama

There’s really only one way to describe the music of Gehraiyaan: it’s a total vibe.

Two songs from Shakun Batra’s upcoming romance drama have been released (with more to come), but the album is already a rage, due to the soundtrack’s innate synchronisation with the aesthetic of the film’s visuals, that star Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa.

Be it Gehraiyaan or Doobey, the songs — with lyrics by Ankur Tewari and Kausar Munir — have captured the essence of love, attraction and perhaps even infidelity to rousing effect. And at the centre of it all, is Kabeer Kathpalia aka OAFF.
