Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta head off on a road trip through the US in Shiv Shastri Balboa, a life-affirming tale of hope and freedom. Its soundtrack, composed by Alokananda Dasgupta and Utkarsh Dhotekar, is equally uplifting and full of messages of resilience and discovery. The acoustic guitar that kicks off opener “Dil Dariya” will get your feet tapping before soaring ballad “Chandni”—with standout vocals by Aditya N.—takes you on a dreamy journey. The highlight is “Hak Tera Hai”, a bilingual rock-infused earworm that’s elevated by an inventive hip-hop bridge.
