Complete album of Imtiaz Ali's 'Amar Singh Chamkila' out now!

Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra

On Thursday, Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra-starrer 'Amar Singh Chamkila's trailer was launched at a spectacular event in Mumbai. The trailer event by Netflix witnessed AR Rahman performing a track from the film ‘Bol Mohabbat' live with Kailash Kher. Yashika Sikka also performed on ‘Tu Kya Jaane', and a performance on Naram Kaalja was also done by a group of female dancers. Such was the excitement generated amongst everyone present at the event and on social media once the reels of the performances went viral that Saregama decided to advance the release of the whole album! So, on popular demand, Saregama has released the entire album with the six original songs composed by AR Rahman on audio streaming apps and jukebox on Sareagam Music YouTube channel.

The idea behind releasing the album weeks before the film's release is also to enable the audience to consume the songs and enjoy Chamkila's world. While the film releases on 12th April exclusively on Netflix, listening to the music album will only help viewers get to know Chamkila's music and relate to his legacy in a better way.

'Amar Singh Chamkila's album consists of six original Hindi songs in total which are composed by AR Rahman & written by Irshad Kamil. Baaja has been sung by Mohit Chauhan, Romy, Suryansh, and Interpreet Singh. Yashika Sikka has sung Tu Kya Jaane. Naram Kaalja has been sung by Alka Yagnik, Yashika Sikka, Richa Sharma, and Pooja Tiwari. Vida Karo has been sung by Arijit Singh and Jonita Gandhi. Mohit Chauhan has also sung Ishq Mitaaye. Bol Mohabbat has been sung by AR Rahman and Kailash Kher.

With such stalwarts curating the album, Amar Singh Chamkila's music is going to rule the charts for a long time. The film is directed by Imtiaz Ali, produced by Mohit Choudhary, Select Media Holdings LLP, Saregama, and Window Seat Films. The music of the film is on Saregama.

About Amar Singh Chamkila:

The film charts the untold true story of Punjab's original rockstar of the masses, the highest record-selling artist of his time, who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the 80s due to the sheer power of his music, angering many on the way, which finally led to his assassination at a young age of 27.

With the maestro AR Rahman helming the music for the film and Irshad Kamil penning the lyrics, the audience will once again get to witness the magic of a Rahman - Imtiaz - Irshad collaboration, after nine years! It is not surprising to see the songs of the film -Ishq Mitaye and Naram Kaalja, released earlier this month have been ruling charts all across.

Adding to the excitement, both Diljit and Parineeti have lent their voices to some of the original Chamkila songs in Punjabi. For the first time, the film will showcase live music recordings done on locations capturing the rawness and the exuberance of each moment as Diljit & Parineeti sing live in the Akhadaas.
