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

The Hindu  

There’s really only one way to describe the music of Gehraiyaan : it’s a total vibe. Kabeer’s immersive score for Gehraiyaan and Sony Music India comes from his background as a music producer and his earlier collaborations with breakout artists like Kayan. It was very important for Shakun and for us to make sure that all the music — whether it’s the score or the songs — was helping the story go ahead,” Kabeer tells us. Both tracks have been sung by Lothika Jha, Kabeer’s friend from school in Ahmedabad, a fantastic new and original voice in the indie music circuit, who also makes her Bollywood playback singing debut. Fast forward to now, and it’s amazing how we have used the track for Gehraiyaan ; the same pieces of music have been translated so differently and used to express such contrasting emotions.” Kabeer also says, “Shakun happened to hear Frontline, and its themes of feeling broken and hollow inside resonated with him, because that’s what the character is also going through; that feeling of melancholic pain.
