Manish Malhotra’s Gustaakh Ishq – Kucch Pehle Jaisa has been grabbing headlines for multiple reasons ever since its theatrical release, and one of the many reasons is the film’s soothing album. Recently, the makers of the film unveiled another musical magic, ‘Hum Fanaa’, a Qawwali that marries _ishq, ibaadat_ and longing in its beautiful form. For Malhotra, Gustaakh Ishq marks his first cinematic production under Stage5 Production, and the film blossomed with unconditional love from the audiences.
Beautifully composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, Hum Fanaa comes alive with meaningful lyrics by Gulzar and soothing vocals by Javed Ali and Ali Brothers – a magical fusion that makes you feel a part of _Gustaakhi_ and _Ishq_! Featuring Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh, Hum Fanaa takes you through the emotional conflicts of the characters, making you feel a part of it.
Hum Fanaa joins the hit album of Gustaakh Ishq, one that is already ruling the musical playlists of the audiences. Tracks like Ul Jalool Ishq, Aap Is Dhoop, Shehar Tere and Musaafir are crafted by musical magicians – including Vishal Bhardwaj’s soothing music, Gulzar’s lyrics and vocals by a range of artists like National Award-winning singer Arijit Singh, Shilpa Rao, Papon, Javed Ali, Jazim Sharma and Himani Kapoor – and it has struck a chord with the audience.
Gustaakh Ishq received rave reviews from the audiences and critics, especially for reviving _mohabbat Kucch Pehle Jaisa_! Produced alongside his brother Dinesh Malhotra, Gustaakh Ishq is directed by Vibhu Puri and it unfolds as a poignant love story of passion and unspoken desire. Starring Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sharib Hashmi, the film is currently running in theatres.
