Release Date 29 January
This is one team that is always ready to bend the way Hindi film music is perceived, conceptualised and presented. Time and again Gulzar and Vishal Bhardwaj have created a kind of musical outing which sounds absolutely fresh and yet bears their trademark quality stamp. Also, the power of soundtrack which is made as a result of their collaboration belongs to the kind that doesn't just loose itself amongst all the noise created by beats but also has a lyrical tale to tell. One doesn't expect anything lesser from Ishqiya.
OVERALL
What would immediately attract a music lover to Ishqiya is the credit details that include Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar. However, even their hardcore fans would have to be cognizant of the fact that Ishqiya doesn't promise a popular soundtrack a la Kaminey (which had 'Dhan Te Nan' as it's anchor) or Omkara (which picked up beyond the rage created by 'Beedi Jalaile'). Instead Ishqiya is more rooted in it's appeal and maintains a classical touch for most it's part.
