Hamari Adhuri Kahani
About this Album
Released on May 25, 2015, three weeks before the film's theatrical debut, the Hamari Adhuri Kahani soundtrack is the musical spine of Mohit Suri's romantic drama of the same name. Produced by Mahesh Bhatt under Vishesh Films, the film drew directly from Bhatt's own family history, giving the album's themes of incomplete love and sacrifice an autobiographical weight that distinguishes it from conventional Bollywood fare.
The album features compositions by Jeet Gannguli, Mithoon, Ami Mishra, and Zubeen Garg, with lyrics by Rashmi Virag, Sayeed Quadri, and Kunaal Vermaa. The title track, composed by Jeet Gannguli and sung by Arijit Singh, became its defining moment and arguably the most widely circulated Bollywood ballad of the mid-2010s. Distributed by Sony Music India, the soundtrack was praised by critics even when the film received mixed reviews, and it has continued to accumulate listeners through the streaming era long after the film's theatrical run ended.
