Ek Din Music Review: Neither Arijit Singh Deserve Such A Forgetful Farewell Nor Sai Pallavi Deserves Such ‘Pheeka-Ishq’ Debut!

By Trisha Gaur

Do you remember the time when Aamir Khan decided to strike a social chord with the audience with his talk show Satyameva Jayate? I do not know about everyone else, but for me, one of the exciting parts of that show was the theme song at the end of each episode, beautifully written by various lyricists and composed beautifully by Ram Sampath! So obviously, I was looking forward to the music of Ek Din, composed by him. Starring Junaid Khan and marking Sai Pallavi’s debut in Hindi Cinema, the film is produced by Aamir Khan Productions.

Ram Sampath is a gifted music composer. I fell in love with him when I first heard him singing Dheere Dheere Haule Haule, a liberating song on sexual abuse, that was featured in one of the episodes of Satyameva Jayate. Meanwhile, the songs of Ek Din are written by Irshad Kamil, and he does not need an introduction. Right from the moment I first heard Kabhi Dil Ke Qareeb, Tumhe Mere Naseeb, Yun Laayenge Socha Na Tha, I have been in awe!

Cutting a very long story short, when these two supremely talented people come together, it is expected to be magical! Also, because they came together for Ek Din, a film produced by Aamir Khan.

Aamir Khan Productions usually delivers soundtracks that define a film through the songs, be it Lagaan or Taare Zameen Par. So does Ek Din hit the right chords with its music? Scroll down to dissect the songs with us!
