After receiving a stupendous response to the trailer and the first song Shaukan of the upcoming thriller, Ulajh, the makers have dropped the music album and released the video of the next song, ‘Aaja Oye’. The powerful album delivers the complete package with a unique sound set to rule playlists.
The music album of ‘Ulajh’ consists of 6 songs produced and composed by the supremely talented Shashwat Sachdev. “Shaukan,” voiced by Jubin Nautiyal, Neha Kakkar, and Shashwat Sachdev, with lyrics by Kumaar is already a favourite amongst the audience. “Aaja Oye,” is the song of redemption, the sound for victory! It is a call to rise, to reclaim one’s power, and to celebrate the journey from struggle to triumph. “Aaja Oye” features the signature, powerful vocals of Jasmine Sandlas and Shashwat Sachdev, with lyrics by Jasmine Sandlas and Sudhanshu Saria.
The album continues with “Main Hoon Tera Ae Watan,” a patriotic number composed and sung by Shashwat Sachdev, with lyrics by Kumaar. The next track, “Ilahi Mere Rubaroo,” is a modern qawwali sung by Shahzad Ali, Sanjith Hegde and Shashwat Sachdev, with lyrics by Kumaar. “Jao Ji Jao,” sung by Shanya Kashyap, Garvit Soni, and Priyansh Srivastava is also written by Sudhanshu Saria and adds a soulful element to the album. The overwhelming response to “Shaukan” by fans within its first week of release also prompted the team to reimagine the track in a completely new avatar as “Thoda Galat,” voiced once again by Jubin Nautiyal and Shashwat Sachdev. The song is all heart and is a treat to all music lovers and Jubin Nautiyal fans.
Expressing her Joy about the album actor Janhvi Kapoor said, “I am incredibly excited about ‘Ulajh.’ This album is a labor of love, and I can’t wait for our fans to experience the magic we have created. Each song tells a story, and each song is special!
Actor Gulshan Devaiah added, “Working on ‘Ulajh’ has been a memorable experience. The collaboration between all the artists and the production team has been amazing, and the final product is something we are all very happy with. I hope the audience enjoys it as much as we enjoyed making it. All the songs in the album are amazing.”
Director Sudhanshu Saria also shared, “The music of Ulajh is as integral a part of the film as any of our key cast members. A year and a half in the making, each song represents an essential tone of the film and a part of my soul. I am so grateful to Shashwat Sachdev, Kumar and every artist that has performed on this album, and I cannot wait for audiences to discover these songs and savour them for years to come.”
Composer and singer Shashwat Sachdev commented, “‘Ulajh’ is a musical tapestry that weaves together various emotions and experiences. The process of creating this album has been immensely fulfilling, and I am excited for our listeners to dive into the world we’ve crafted.”

Starring Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew, Meiyang Chang, Rajesh Tailang, Adil Hussain, and Jitendra Joshi, the film promises to be a thrilling ride.
