Telly’s new love tale

Chand Jalne Laga

Rendered by Amit Mishra and Antara Mitra, the telly show Chand Jalne Laga's title track aimed to be a piece that would be etched in the memories of listeners for several years. "When I was entrusted with the task of fashioning an anthem for the show, the aim was to strike a delicate balance between love, passion, and intensity.

Music for television demands a relatable melody; one that becomes a part of the audience's emotional landscape," says composer Raja Narayan, adding that it was guitarist Rhythm Shaw's expertise that enriched the composition.

"We wanted to create something that was distinctly ‘Bollywood' - grand, and colourful. Additionally, the lead actors Vishal Aditya Singh and Kanika Mann introduced an extra layer of charm and magic to the music video, thereby enhancing the visual storytelling."
