Strings has given us chart-buster peppy and pop music numbers along with soulful tracks in the last three decades. This rendition of the classical tune by the duo is soothing with light guitar, piano and tabla beats while keeping the song’s time-honored essence alive.

Faisal’s voice complements well with Sona’s rural tone which lingers for long in your mind after you have switched off the music. Naina has all what it takes to become a beautiful background score in a movie.
