The teaser concluded with the heartwarming message, "Bringing love back."According to Bagdi, the film explores how love can emerge as a beautiful, unanticipated consequence of healing.

Fawad Khan became a household name in India with his stellar performance in Pakistani drama 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai' (2012) followed by his appearance in Bollywood films such as 'Khoobsurat' (2014) and 'Kapoor & Sons' (2016).

While I love the music and Fawad's return, I wish Bollywood would move beyond the same old romantic tropes. The "healing through love" theme feels a bit overdone these days.

Amit Trivedi never disappoints! The combination of his music with Arijit's voice is heavenly. Shilpa Rao's portions are beautiful too. This might be the song of the year for me.

So happy to see Pakistani artists working in Bollywood again. Art should bring people together, not divide them. The song is beautiful and Fawad looks as handsome as ever!
