The universal message of brotherhood and kinship in Halal Love Story—an incisive movie about a man’s quest to film a simple romance that simultaneously humanises Islam in the eyes of his countrymen—resonates in the uncluttered, melodic tunes of its soundtrack. On “Sundaranayavane”, a heartfelt religious paean in praise of Allah, Carnatic strings complement Shahabaz Aman’s unhurried vocals. Aman also guides stunner “Bismillah” as his voice fills qawwali choruses and slips in and out of harmonium interludes to mesmerising effect.
