Roohi revolves around two men Bhawra and Kattannni (Rajkummar and Varun) who kidnap a girl named Roohi (Janhvi). But then a spirit named Afza makes Roohi’s body her new home. As Rajkummar and Varun’s characters try to get Afza out of Roohi’s body, Bhawra starts falling for Roohi. Kiston seems like a love letter sung from Bhawra’s perspective as he develops feelings for our leading lady.

Roohi’s song Kiston perfectly depicts this emotion. The visuals of the love track further compliment the lyrics of the song. But Jubin Nautiyal’s voice emerges as the hero. His soothing voice provides a touch of innocence to this complicated and spooky one-sided love story. Sachin – Jigar are the music directors of the film and Amitabh Bhattacharya is the lyricist. Moreover, Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor's chemistry is also quite visible in the Kiston music video. Rajkummar in his Instagram post has described Kiston as a song about "swadeshi & kifayti kinda pyaar".

As mentioned earlier, Kiston is the second song from Roohi. Roohi’s first song was Panghat. Panghat was an upbeat track. In the Panghat music video, Janhvi Kapoor can be seen in a dual avatar. As Roohi she stunned in red, but as Afza she brought a dark charm with her black ensemble. The song shares quite a similar vibe to the track Milegi Milegi from Stree. Since Roohi has been made by the Stree team, it can be considered as more than a coincidence.
