Adrija Gupta is selective while describing the sonic world of Chhorii 2, choosing to refer to it as “not just a tune that speaks alongside the storyline” but music that befits the “universe of the film”. “[Director] Vishal Furia was certain that the whole universe of Chhorii [must have] a sound of its own. Every character has their own thematic [music], and when they all come together, they must make sense,” says Gupta, who created the sonic backbone of the Nushrratt Bharuccha-fronted offering.

Nushrratt Bharuccha’s Chhorii 2 is set to be released on April 11
