'Paharganj' stands out for its haunting music

In this age of remakes in Bollywood, the raw, raspy and rustic album of '

Composed by Ajay Singha with lyrics by

Shelle

and

Mohit Pathak

, the compositions sits well with the mysterious storyline revolving around Laura Costa (essayed by Spanish actress Lorena Franco), whose search for her lost husband brings her to Paharganj.

In fact, Mohit’s '

Kyun Dil Mera

' has managed to retain its position among the top ten popular songs for two consecutive weeks. A ghazal-style melody, the song has been praised for its unhurried pace, the use of tabla and Mohit’s voice. '

Bairaagi Mann

' is the other most-played song from the album.

Producer Prakash Bhagat recently announced that the film, directed by Rakesh Ranjan Kumar, will release on April 12.
