Vishal Bhardwaj, Vishal Dadlani collaborate on a ‘relevant, necessary’ song

Mumbai, Nov 24 : Filmmaker-composer Vishal Bhardwaj has written and composed a new single titled Mask kho gaya that has been sung by singer-composer Vishal Dadlani.
“Interesting times can spur interesting ideas as well as reflect current times. ‘Mask kho gaya’ for me is that. Also collaborating with Vishal Dadlani always brings in fresh exciting energy,” said Bhardwaj.
Dadlani had earlier collaborated with Bhardwaj on songs like “Dhan te nan” and “Aao na”.
He said that the most interesting aspect of the song is “perhaps it’s the fact that people are taking what they want from it. People who want to listen to a song are doing just that, but people who want to grasp the lyrics are doing that too. Those who want to avoid thinking of local issues are seeing only global politics, but those who are more aware and conscious of what’s happening here, are seeing the reality of the lockdown and some of the India’s issues too”.
“I think that’s the hallmark of inclusive art, that it allows the audience a choice of whether or not they want to confront the deeper questions. That way, the audience also gets an insight about themselves,” added Dadlani.
The animated music video for the song is by animator-filmmaker-illustrator duo Susruta and Saswata Mukherjee.
