Love Aaj Kal Song Shayad: Kartik Aaryan Is Every Bit Romantic In This Soulful Original Track

The first song of Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal, starring Kartik Aaryan, Sara Ali Khan and Arushi Sharma, is out. Called Shayad, this song wants you to relive the feeling of falling in love, when spotting the ‘special one’ makes your heart skip a beat and feel butterflies inside your stomach.

Imtiaz Ali had said that the song would be a tribute to ‘Pehla Nasha’ from Joh Jita Wohi Sikander. He does put glimpses of that in this song. In the 1990s we not just see Raghu and Leena watching Joh Jeeta Wohi Sikander, but we also see him imitating Aamir Khan’s iconic steps from the song .

For any kids before the generation of mobile phones, this song is truly nostalgic. That shying away when one spots one’s crush or those stolen glances are something that has now been replaces by more ‘upfront’ness. This is captured well as we juggle between 1990s and 2020s.

Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan’s chemistry in the song is note-worthy. However, the innocence is in the Kartik-Arushi Jodi. It’s subtle and beautiful.

The song has been written by Irshad Kamil and has been sung by Arijit Singh while Pritam has composed its music. Need we say more on why this will be a chartbuster? Well extra brownie points to the fact that this is an original track. Check out the song here:
