What's the story

The video's strong narrative has the power to make you emotional and sympathize with Sheikh's character. Also, the sad tune is based on the lines of heartbreak and betrayal. Here's our review.
Song
Stebin Ben's voice, background commentary blend well
Composed by Harish Sagne, the song has an emotional appeal. Stebin Ben has brought a real essence of heartbreak with his voice in the track. His style resembles that of Atif Aslam a lot. Meer, who wrote the lyrics, has beautifully described the feelings of a person who goes through heartbreak. The narration in the background gives you more clarity to the story.
Video
The visuals have powerful narrative with convincing performance by Sheikh
The 4:44-minute-long video begins with Sheikh (Anshumann) and Joshi's (Ananya) upcoming wedding celebrations. In the next frame, Anshumann discovers a heartbreaking secret about Ananya. How the truth devastates him on the day of his marriage forms the crux of the story, However, while watching the song you would smile and become sad by Sheikh's strong happy and sad emotions.
