“Gurinder’s expectation was to have something very classic, very rooted and at the same time universal. I’ve used the sarangi, a strings and brass orchestra, a lot of flute — mainly classical instruments.”

The album features a new version of the classic ‘Duma Dum’, sung by Punjabi singer Hans Raj Hans, who also features with a performance of the song in one of the film’s stand out scenes.
