New Delhi, A song of hope and togetherness, 'Kya Kamaal Hai', has been released from filmmaker Imtiaz Ali and actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's new film 'Main Vaapas Aaunga'. The song serves as a reminder of the importance of enduring love and hope amid conflict.
The film marks the second collaboration between Ali and Dosanjh, who have previously worked together on the critically-acclaimed 2024 movie 'Amar Singh Chamkila'. The film also reunites Ali with frequent collaborators music composer A R Rahman and lyricist Irshad Kamil.
Ali described the song, which has been sung by Dosanjh, as one of hope, released at a moment of global uncertainty. Dosanjh said the song carries a quality of stillness amid the noise, reminding listeners to slow down, breathe, and just be in the moment.
Rahman said the collaboration with Ali and Kamil felt like picking up an ongoing conversation. Kamil described 'Kya Kamaal Hai' as 'a song of hope' that imagines a world without pain or conflict and said he hoped it would work as 'a soul-soother for all'. Set against the backdrop of the 1947 partition, 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' stars Dosanjh alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari Wagh and Vedang Raina.
The film releases in cinemas on June 12 and is produced by Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films.
