Abida Parveen and Asrar Shah join forces for this Rangreza track and the result is sheer brilliance

'Phool Khil Jaayein' just may be one of the best songs in any modern Pakistani film

When the teaser for musical film Rangreza came out, we thought the track sounded nice. Turns out its way more than nice. Its great!

The film, starring Bilal Ashraf, Gohar Rasheed and Urwa Hocane, has been described as "a film based on music, in which we are exploring the contrast between classical qawwali and modern pop music. A love story will join the contrast," by director Aamir Mohiuddin.

Aamir Mohiuddin got Josh's Qurram Hussain on board and from the looks of it, that was a great decision!

The first track from the Rangreza soundtrack, which features eight tracks overall, is out and it is proof that Aamir Mohiuddin wants to leave a mark with his directorial debut.

For track 'Phool Khil Jaayein', Abida Parveen teamed up with Asrar Shah and we are stunned at the outcome.

We might have a little bit of an Abida Parveen bias but we have to say, this may be one of the best songs we've heard in a Pakistani movie! We swear we got goosebumps!

The lyrics, wriiten by Asrar Shah himself, are beautiful and the music, by J Ali, does justice to the words and the powerful vocals of two of the best sufi singers around. After a long time we're hearing a very soulful and memorable track. We tip our hats to you Aamir Mohiuddin. You have definitely got us interested in your directorial debut!

Rangreza is slated for release on 21 December and if the rest of the soundtrack is like 'Phool Khil Jaayein' we are definitely excited for it!

The first look of Urwa Hocane's Rangreza is out!


Urwa plays "a kind-hearted girl whose purity makes her rare"

We've been waiting on word on the upcoming musical film Rangreza and its first look teaser is finally out!

A dreamy looking Bilal Ashraf, a pensive and distraught Urwa Hocane and a deranged Gohar Rasheed are seen in this teaser and we wonder just how these characters' storylines intersect.

While Gohar Rasheed has only revealed that his character is unlike any other he's played before, Urwa's character Reshmi is "a kind-hearted, soulful, beautiful girl whose purity makes her rare."

Rangreza will be directed by first-time director Aamir Mohiuddin, who describes it as "a film based on music, in which we are exploring the contrast between classical qawwali and modern pop music. A love story will join the contrast," shared the director with Images.

The film is also said to star veteran actor Akber Subhani, as well as Saleem Mairaj, Tanveer Jamal and Shahid Naqvi. The musical film will feature an eight-song soundtrack, featuring Qurram Hussain (Q) of Josh, Farid Ayaz and Abu Mohammad qawwals and others.

While the film is being shot in Karachi, its songs are planned in "never-before-seen areas of Pakistan."

It is slated for a December 21 release this year.
