Remember the times when Emraan Hashmi became synonymous with good music. I mean, you would not name a single film starring him with bad music, and truthfully, those good days are back since his upcoming film starring Yami Gautam has a stellar music album composed by Vishal Mishra. The lyrics are written by Kaushal Kishore, and truthfully, it has been a protracted time since a good heartbreak album was delivered in Bollywood!
Interestingly, when the primary track of the film was dropped, my initial response was – Oh what a stunner! And my immediate excitement was for your complete album to come out. To be honest, I’m not upset in any respect! The entire album is laced with melodies defining heartbreak, but with none chaos. Heartbreaks that hurt but are also a sigh of relief!
Actually, Haq‘s music album probably covers all of the emotions of a heartbreak – shock, denial, ambivalence, anger, resentment, depression, and sadness. But it surely finally leads you to acceptance, growth, and moving on, and that is where this music album shines its brightest! These highs are so satisfying that they manage to overshadow all of the grief and mourning that all of us have been through sooner or later in life.

We decided to understand each beauty while analyzing how each song completes its own journey from like to loss.
Song: Qubool
Singer: Armaan Khan
Qubool arrives just like the first blush of morning, and Armaan Khan’s youthful vocals help the song grow on you! Kaushal Kishore’s writing hits high as he writes, “Hai ishq mein jab doobe hum, Gham bhi mile toh kaisa gham, Tera sahi, tera galat, Tera jhooth bhi toh qubool hai! Accha bura kya taulna, Kya mashwara, kya sochna, Mehboob hota hai khuda, Yahi ishq ka usool hai.” Well, this clearly indicates what’s about to are available life. While you get blindfolded in love, chances are high you’ll not see the red flags!
Song: Dil Tod Gaya Tu
Singer: Vishal Mishra
Vishal Mishra leads this heartbreak beauty, and he delivers a track soaked in raw, masculine pain. The song is the very core of this album’s grief and sadness. The instruments are minimal, and it becomes extremely personal, hitting the nerves in a peaceful yet chaotic way! When you know what I mean!
Song: Haq Hai Mera
Singer: Vishal Mishra
Jiske liye raaton mein jaage, aakhon mein hum ashq liye, Dard ki raatein dhal jaayengi, pal wo sunehra aayega…Haq hai mera. Kishore Kaushal writes these painfully haunting lines that confront and push one’s strength to hunt calm and peace in life. Vishal Mishra, renders the verses equally beautifully, summoning all things good and that too rightfully! Heavy on soul but what a relief of a song! The film might find its power anthem on this song and I’m sure it’s going to give goosebumps within the theater. It has the potential!
Song: Kya Paaya
Singers: Ali Brothers
A typical mix of Sufi and Qawwali wrapped in a reflective, philosophical track, the song is a little disruption, but it surely still grabs attention. However the song definitely might have been significantly better. Probably, it is just too situational, with lyrics trying to keep up a balance between the narrative of the film and the song’s own philosophical progression!
Song: Jhoom Banware
Singers: Malini Awasthi, Jyotica Tangri, Bidyut Jyoti Mohan
The song is the burst of color that cuts through all the strain of this album. It’s free-spirited and the ultimate stage of heartbreak, when one moves on and decides to not look back, even for retrospect! It’s a brand new life, and Malini Awasthi fills it with a lot hope! This moment of liberation from sorrow is so healing in Ek Khuda hai jo tera hai, jaane tu kab samjhega, ghaav ko tere wo bhar dega, usko marham kar dega!
Song: Dil Tod Gaya Tu (Duet Version)
Singers: Akash Ojha & Sneha Shankar
This final track revisits the core emotion of the film – heartbreak, but now with a dual lens, allowing the listener to feel the perspectives of each protagonists. Akash Ojha and Indian Idol 15 fame Sneha Shankar handle the vocals. It turns the solo monologue right into a shared, universal grief.
The album of Haq perfectly pens a love letter to the broken vows of affection. This toota bikhra ishq surrenders after which rises above the grief to search out one’s ownself in spite of everything the mourning. Nonetheless, none of this mourning is chaotic. It’s peace and calm amidst all of the chaos that prepares one to reflect and accept one’s decision. It’s a dark, yet determined, musical journey.
PS. One in every of the verses in considered one of the songs says, “Beghar huye hain jo dil se tere, lagne lagi mujhe duniya parai!” Write more, Kaushal Kishore. Keep healing broken hearts, penning their sentiments so right!
