While the trailer of Ajay Devgn���s '
Shivaay' awed viewers, its title track gave a hint of the intensity in the adventure drama. But the actor-filmmaker���s upcoming Diwali release, which also features
Sayyeshaa, Polish actress
Erika Kaar and British child star Abigail Eames, has a good dose of romance, too. '
Darkhaast', the romantic track featuring Ajay and Erika (who plays
Olga), has passion and poignance in equal measure.
Picturised exquisitely against the Himalayan landscape, this number dwells on intimate moments between the madly-in-love lead couple.
The magic of the song will unfold when it releases online on Thursday (September 22) at noon, but creating it was apparently quite a tough task for lyricist Sayeed Quadri and music composer Mithoon. Ajay���s brief to his music team clearly underlined that each word had to be chosen carefully because 'Darkhaast' wasn���t just a song in the movie. Not only does it capture the emotions and situation in which the couple is, but also forms a crucial part of the narrative as it takes the story forward.
Ajay concedes that Sayeed and Mithoon are also the storytellers of
'Shivaay' because of their close participation in this composition. He says, ���If you listen carefully, you can get a sense of the story in each of the film���s songs. Especially 'Darkhaast', because it captures the intimacy between Olga and Shivaay. It also reveals their true happiness when they are with one another.���
'Shivaay', presented by ADF, Jayantilal Gada (PEN) and Narendra Hirawat and produced by
Ajay Devgn Ffilms, releases October 28.
