Music Composer for Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela

In Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, the use of elaborate orchestration and vigorous rhythm, with a blend of traditional and contemporary sounds, has created soulful music. Lahu Munh Lag Gaya has adapted a strong Garba beat, while Ram Chahe Leela has energetic tunes set in the rural backdrop with brilliant lyrics by Siddharth and Garima. There is a slowdown in the pace in Ang Laga De Re, which is considered as one of his most romantic songs. Ye Laal Ishq is a tuneful melody with its delicate and tender music and rhythm, sung by Arijit Singh. Ishqyaun Dhishqyaun is a throwback to the late 90s in the Govinda era with its fun lyrics. Tattad Tattad brims with vibrant visuals and lamorous lehengas twirling around, and the music full of percussion instruments.
