Director Harish Vyas' critically-acclaimed film 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele' starring Zareen Khan and Anshuman Jha celebrates the love and friendship that two homosexual characters share. The film, which has travelled to several international film festivals earlier and bagged awards, has left the audience for more after the makers dropped its trailer, ahead of its digital release. Upping its excitement, the makers have now released the film's track, 'Bullah Ki Jaana'.

Have a look:

The lyrics of this iconic track are penned by Bulleh Shah, the Punjabi philosopher and Sufi poet during 17th century Punjab. He wrote 'Bulleya Ki jaana main Kaun' which means 'Bulleya! Who knows who I am?'. And this song marks the film's tribute to him from the 21st century as Zareen and Anshuman search for identities in 'Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele'. Sung by Adil Rasheed and composed by Oni-Adil, the song showcases the journey that the two friends have embarked upon. It highlights the raw emotions that both Mansi and Veer are going through, and coupled with the electrifying background score, it is one song that you can hear on loop.

The riveting film has been a subject of heated discussion ever since its announcement and even won ‘Best Film' at its World Premiere in New York at the South Asian International Film Festival. 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele' was also showcased this year in January at the Rajasthan International Film Festival, where it won Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress award.

A humane story of two friends Veer and Mansi - Veer who's gay and Mansi, who's a lesbian, 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele' takes audiences on a road trip and a turn of events that change their lives. The film soon readies for its OTT release on May 9.
