Mumbai: The first song from Main Vaapas Aaunga has officially been released, drawing widespread attention for its emotional depth and powerful collaboration. Titled Kya Kamaal Hai, the track brings together Diljit Dosanjh, legendary composer A. R. Rahman and lyricist Irshad Kamil.
The song marks another much-anticipated reunion following their acclaimed collaboration on Amar Singh Chamkila, raising expectations among music lovers and cinema audiences alike.
Music rooted in hope and human connection
Director Imtiaz Ali, known for weaving music deeply into his storytelling, has once again used melody and poetry to set the emotional tone of the film.
Speaking about the track, Ali described it as a reflection of contemporary times, marked by uncertainty and unrest. He noted that the song draws inspiration from historical moments such as the Partition of India—a period that, despite its pain, also produced stories of resilience and enduring love.
According to him, “Kya Kamaal Hai” is intended to offer hope and positivity at a time when audiences are seeking emotional comfort through art.
Diljit Dosanjh on the song’s emotional impact
Diljit Dosanjh shared that the track holds a special place in his heart, emphasising its simplicity and emotional honesty. He described the song as one that encourages listeners to pause and reflect rather than being overwhelmed by the noise of daily life.
He also spoke about his experience working with Imtiaz Ali, calling the filmmaker’s storytelling grounded and authentic. Reflecting on his collaboration with A.R. Rahman, Dosanjh termed it an honour, highlighting the composer’s legendary status in global music.
A.R. Rahman highlights artistic continuity
A.R. Rahman described the collaboration as a continuation of a creative journey with both Imtiaz Ali and Irshad Kamil. He noted that while the team had previously worked together, this project allowed for a more direct musical interaction.
Rahman added that the film’s themes of separation and displacement influenced the composition, aiming to create music that resonates gently and lingers with the listener. He emphasised that in times of global unrest, music can serve as a medium to highlight beauty, silence and poetry.
Irshad Kamil calls it a ‘world of emotion’
Lyricist Irshad Kamil described “Kya Kamaal Hai” as more than just a song, calling it an immersive experience. He said the track imagines a world free from pain, fear and conflict, centred on love and peace.
Kamil also highlighted that while the song belongs to a Hindi film, its emotional appeal transcends language and geography, making it universally relatable.
Film features strong ensemble cast
The film stars Diljit Dosanjh alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari Wagh and Vedang Raina in key roles.
Produced by Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films, the film is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 12, 2026. The music has been released under Tips Music.
