The second song title Dilbaro from Raazi has been released, and it carries the momentum set by the trailer and first song, Ae Watan.
It’s a melodious number that highlights the pain in a daughter’s heart when she leaves her parents’ house after marriage in traditional Indian households. Voiced by Harshdeep Kaur, the song beautifully depicts the conflict in Alia Bhatt’s mind.

The video of the song also shows Rajit Kapoor, who is playing Sehmat’s (Alia), patriotic father. He, in a way, volunteers to send his daughter on an espionage mission in Pakistan in the backdrop of 1971’s war between India and its neighbour. Sharing the song, Alia wrote, “#Dilbaro is a song that made me tear up the first time I heard it.. the lyrics are simple, powerful and just beautiful. Written by the maestro Gulzar Saab. I couldn’t help but think of my father who’s held my hand but also let my fly.. my most special friendship! Love you papa.”
Raazi has Alia as a protagonist who has yet not come to terms with her changed circumstances. Lyricist Gulzar, also the father of director Meghna, has captured the tense yet tender situation through his poetry. It’s a soothing but telling number.
Raazi is scheduled to hit the screens on May 11, 2018.
