Gulzar’s Words, Amit Trivedi’s Music and B Praak’s Voice Come Together in the Phenomenally Soulful Song “Sach Ka Daayra” from Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra

There are songs that accompany a film, and there are songs that seem to have been born from its
story. “Sach Ka Daayra” is the latter. Released today from Junglee Pictures’ much-awaited film
Daayra, the powerful track brings together the formidable creative forces of cinematic
powerhouse Kareena Kapoor Khan, acclaimed actor Prithviraj Sukumaran and visionary director
Meghna Gulzar, alongside the exceptional musical collaboration of National Award-winning poet
and lyricist Gulzar, celebrated composer Amit Trivedi and chart-topping singer B Praak. Together,
they create a musical piece that is deeply intertwined with the film’s narrative. Presented by
Junglee Music (a division of Times Music), “Sach Ka Daayra” goes beyond the conventions of a
Bollywood song to become a striking reflection of the film’s themes of truth, perception and
perspective.

Rooted in the emotional world of Daayra, “Sach Ka Daayra” brings together Gulzar’s incisive
writing, Amit Trivedi’s atmospheric composition and B Praak’s evocative vocals. Together, they
create a track that feels less like a soundtrack piece and more like an extension of the film’s
narrative.

Kareena Kapoor Khan said, “Sach Ka Daayra captures the emotional core of the film. Gulzar
sahab’s words, Amit’s composition and B Praak’s voice come together with an intensity that stays
with you.”

Prithviraj Sukumaran added, “Sach Ka Daayra makes you pause and think. The depth of the
writing and the mood created by the music make it feel like another voice within the story.”
Singer B Praak shared, “This song asked for a different kind of expression. There is strength in its
emotion, but also a quietness, and finding that balance was what made recording it special.”
Composer Amit Trivedi said, “The song needed a sound that stayed true to the story. Gulzar
sahab’s layered writing and B Praak’s emotional force came together to create something deeply
rooted in the world of Daayra.”

Meghna Gulzar, director of Daayra, said, “Sach Ka Daayra distils the emotional core of the film,
its angst, helplessness and beneath it all, a plea for justice to prevail. The lyrics, composition and
vocals come together to give these emotions their full weight and intensity.”
Poet and lyricist Gulzar said, “Sach ka Daayra ek tarfa nahin hai. Na vo ek lakeer hai. Waqt,
haalaat aur nazariye ke saath, vo badalta rehta hai. Aur yahi, ye gaana bayaan karta hai”
Mandar Thakur, CEO, Junglee Music/Times Music, said, “Sach Ka Daayra brings together three
extraordinary artistic voices for a compelling story. Its unconventional and emotionally powerful
sound is what makes it truly impactful.”

With Kareena and Prithviraj bringing the story to life under Meghna Gulzar’s direction, Daayra
promises a cinematic experience where every element contributes to its narrative. “Sach Ka
Daayra” sets the tone for that journey, using music not simply to accompany the story, but to
deepen it.
