It has been a while since, the trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, have released a soundtrack. Now, the renowned trio is back for Meghna Gulzar’s espionage thriller Raazi. The film features Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in leading roles. Their new song Dilbaro was released earlier today.

While the previous song Ae Watan was a patriotic song that tugged at the hearts of every Indian, Dilbaro takes a completely different direction.

Raazi New Song: Dilbaro Showcases The Emotional Bond Between Alia Bhatt & Her Father

The song starts playing as we see Sehmat (Alia Bhatt) getting married off to Pakistani Army officer Iqbal Syed (Vicky Kaushal). Starting off with a soothing Kashmiri verse sung by Vibha Saraf, she is soon followed by Harshdeep Kaur. The voice of the two singers perfectly encapsulates the bond between Sehmat and her father, without them saying a single word. We see her father struggle to hold back his tears as he watches his daughter go away, knowing how much danger she is in.

Shankar Mahadevan has a few lines in the song as well, expressing the father’s emotional turmoil. With lyrics penned by Gulzar, it’s not hard to see why this song touched our hearts, as we listen to it on a loop.
