Khamoshiyan is the latest offering from Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt, written by Vikram Bhatt and directed by Karan Darra. It stars Ali Faizal (Bobby Jasoos) and marks the big screen debut of Gurmeet Chaudhary (TV’s Geet and Punar Vivah) and Sapna Pappi (TV’s 24). Music has been composed by Ankit Tiwari, Jeet Gangulay, Navad Zafar and Bobby Imraan with lyrics by Sayeedd Quadri, Rashmi Singh and Abhendra Kumar Upadhyay. The album features the vocal talents of Arjit Singh, Palak Muchhal and Prakriti Kakkar.
The album commences with Tu Har Lamha, a staple Bhatt number of the soft rock variety, aptly composed by Bobby Imraan and well rendered by Arjit Singh. That being said, it is very formulistic in nature, entirely listenable, but ultimately nothing to write home about. The alternative, Subahan Allah is equally well arranged but Arjit is sorely missed as Anupum Amod does a less than impressive rendition of the track.
