The film ‘Ulajh’ has just unveiled its latest musical offering, “Ilahi Mere Rubaroo,” and it’s already capturing hearts and attention. This contemporary qawwali, composed by the talented Shashwat Sachdev, features an evocative blend of devotion and national pride. With the soulful voices of Shahzad Ali, Sanjith Hegde, and Sachdev himself, and lyrics by Kumaar, the track is much more than a mere song—it’s an emotional journey that intertwines spirituality with patriotism.
The music video for “Ilahi Mere Rubaroo” is as dynamic as the track itself. It showcases the film’s lead characters, portrayed by Roshan Mathew and Janhvi Kapoor, in the midst of an intense investigation. The video includes high-octane scenes of motorcycle chases and strategic encounters involving Gulshan Devaiah’s character. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant dargah, the video masterfully integrates the traditional qawwali performance with the fast-paced action of the film’s plot, creating a gripping visual experience.
