Vidya Balan, Asha Bhosle mesmerise in Begum Jaan song, Prem Mein Tohre

Bollywood actor Vidya Balan unveiled the first song of her upcoming film - Begum Jaan - and it is a charming number with legendary singer Asha Bhosle doing the vocals.

Titled Prem Mein Tohre, the song captures a variety of emotions and oscillates between lonely, sad, revelatory and celebratory moods. A few scenes from what looks like Holi, adds to the colourful canvas of the film. Kausar Munir has written the song while Anu Malik has composed the music.

Begum Jaan, a Hindi adaptation of Srijit Mukherji’s stellar Bengali offering Rajkahini, stars Vidya in the lead, as a brothel’s madam in Punjab during India’s partition in 1947.
