Oye hichki, a track composed by Jasleen Royal for the Rani Mukerji-starrer Hichki, released on 20 February.
Album of the entire movie, composed by Jasleen, is sung by singer Harshdeep Kaur.
"In this song Oye hichki, we have used utensils, tubs, spoons because that's the sonic space of the film for that particular sequence. The album is the entire journey of Naina (Rani) in the film and exploring the world of Hichki was a lot of fun," Jasleen, also a singer, said in a statement. Listen to the track:
"It was challenging and interesting to compose the music for the entire film with producer Maneesh Sharma being extremely patient. Harshdeep Kaur has also done full justice to the song," she added.
Jasleen, who shot to fame with the song "Preet" for the film "Khoobsurat", has also composed songs for movies such as "Baar Baar Dekho", "Shivaay" and "Haraamkhor".
The movie and the song address prevalent societal discriminations like preference for fair skin, partiality towards people with disabilities, women not having the right to make certain choices.
(The Quint, in association with BitGiving, has launched a crowdfunding campaign for an 8-month-old who was raped in Delhi on 28 January 2018. The baby girl, who we will refer to as 'Chhutki', was allegedly raped by her 28-year-old cousin when her parents were away. She has been discharged from AIIMS hospital after undergoing three surgeries, but needs more medical treatment in order to heal completely. Her parents hail from a low-income group and have stopped going to work so that they can take care of the baby. You can help cover Chhutki's medical expenses and secure her future. Every little bit counts. Click here to donate.)
