Ningi Needera's sitar-laden rock base is the real clincher, even as Arijit Singh brings his trademark charm to the melody. Mila Mila has Shashwat Singh driving the spirited mandolin soaked tune, but Chalthi Ka Naam Gaadi — once again in Shashwat Singh's vocals — has a more grungy vibe that's both punchy and euphoric. Vareva Ore Maccha mines an off-piste traditional folk arrangement that never quite comes together, and Dol Dolre — backed by ebullient rendition from Amit Trivedi — channels the latter for a pleasant-if-familiar melody. The title song's retro-jazz flourishes are wonderfully pleasant, but the soundtrack ultimately belongs to Arijit Singh's Evari Roopo, a hymnal piece driven by a gentle, layered orchestration. Crisp, fresh, and experimental, trust Sunny to come with a musical hodge-podge like you've never heard before.
