BOMBAY TIMES (August 4, 2016)

Music is an intrinsic part of the upcoming drama thriller Rustom. The song Dekha Hazaro Dafaa, composed by Jeet Gannguli, sung by Arijit Singh and Palak Muchhal, brings back the charm of the 60s. Filmed on Akshay Kumar and Ileana D'Cruz, the song has the superstar looking his dapper best, while the actress unleashes the charm to the melodious beats of the track.

Jeet tells us that producer Neeraj Pandey and director Tinu Suresh Desai's brief was precise. He says, “They wanted it to be a ball room dance sequence. It's an intimate, melodious song, reminiscent of an era gone by. In this age of techno beats, we have used group violin. I also got the scope to use some acoustic beats. Arijit was a natural fit and Palak rehearsed hard to hit the right note. All in all, this song like a spectacle and we've done our best in terms of music to bring out the grandeur.“

Rustom, produced by Zee Studios and Kriarj Entertainment, in association with Cape of Good films and Friday Filmworks, releases August 12.
