Raazi song Dilbaro starring Alia Bhatt is high on emotions.
After the song “Ae Watan” that left music lovers overwhelmed with a patriotic feeling, the makers of Raazi have released another number, “Dilbaro”. Raazi is headlined by Alia Bhatt, who essays the role of an Indian spy sent to Pakistan on a mission to collect confidential information ahead of the Indo-Pak war of 1971. She is married to the son of a Pakistani general for her mission and her wedding has the soothing song “Dilbaro” playing in the background.
“Dilbaro” plays as Alia’s character of a Kashmiri girl Sehmat gets hitched to Pakistani army officer Iqbal Syed, played by Vicky Kaushal. It starts with a Kashmiri couplet in the voice of singer Vibha Saraf. The song in the voice of Harshdeep Kaur beautifully captures the bond a father and a daughter share. “Dilbaro” will tug at your heartstrings and you might end up playing it on a loop. Penned by noted lyricist Gulzar, the song brings forth the feelings of a father who has to let his daughter go after marriage and wait for her to come back sometime soon. It gives words to countless emotions that go unexpressed between a father and a daughter on the latter’s wedding.
The music of the song has been composed by the trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Shankar Mahadevan has also crooned a few lines in the soulful number. Praising lyricist Gulzar, Shankar wrote on twitter, “Dilbaro is a song about a father & daughters emotions! @GulzarPoetry sahab’s poetry works on multiple levels in this song which we’ll understand when we watch the film.”
After the release of the song, Alia shared her first thoughts about it. She wrote on Twitter, “#Dilbaro is a song that made me tear up the first time I heard it.. the lyrics are simple, powerful and just beautiful. Written by the maestro Gulzar Saab. I couldn’t help but think of my father who’s held my hand but also let my fly.. my most special friendship! Love you papa💫.” Filmmaker Karan Johar tagged the song as his favourite from the Raazi album.
