Zamaana Lage song out: Netizens are in awe as makers drop first ‘magical’ track from ‘Metro...In Dino’

Netizens were left in complete awe of the “magical” first song from ‘Metro...In Dino’ – Zamaana Lage, and said that the track took them on a bittersweet ride of memories between the old gazal and its new rendition.

Zamaana Lage, the first track of the film's album, was released on Wednesday, May 28.

It combines Pritam Chakraborty's music and Arijit Singh-Shashwat Singh's vocals to craft a song derived from poet Qaisar Ul Jafri's evocative line, “Tumhaare sheher ka mausam bada suhana lage.” Sandeep Shrivastava has penned additional lyrics.

Pritam said Zamaana Lage was an attempt to revive the ghazal on Jafri's timeless poetry in a non-nostalgic way that was emotionally alive and relevant today.

“With its rich history and timeless depth, we felt it doesn't always have to live in a classical soundscape. A ghazal can be pop -- it can be modern in sound and structure, while still holding on to its poetic soul. That's what we've tried to do with this song: reimagine the ghazal for today's generation,” he added.
