The makers of the upcoming romantic drama Gustaakh Ishq treated fans on Tuesday with the release of the song Ul Jalool Ishq, featuring Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The soulful track, composed by Vishal Bhardwaj and sung by Shilpa Rao and Papon, boasts poignant lyrics by the legendary Gulzar, capturing the purity and intensity of love with subtle elegance.
The music video opens with Vijay and Fatima preparing themselves in front of a mirror, setting an intimate tone. As Papon’s voice heightens the emotions, the duo meets, and the song gracefully unfolds, exploring moments of romance and secrecy. At one point, they sneak into a restricted property, share a quiet cup of tea as the sun sets, and later enjoy a serene moment near the fields, showcasing their tender connection. The song also features a brief appearance by Naseeruddin Shah, unaware of the couple’s love story, adding depth to the narrative. The video concludes with a montage of dramatic shots from the film, hinting at the layers of emotion in the story.
