The trailer for Rakhee Sandilya's Ribbon has already incited curiosity for the unlikely pairing of Sumeet Vyas and Kalki Koechlin. The film deals with the complex subject of an urban couple having a child. The latest song from the film seeks to soothe the worries and creases that line this film.
Sung by Jasleen Kaur Royal, and composed by Sagar Desai, the song is a soft, soothing melody that inspires optimism. The song takes off from the moment the couple (Kalki Koechlin and Sumeet Vyas) discover the pregnancy and the hurdles that face them.
While they have their own professional problems to deal with, the two now have the additional burden of a newborn child. This tight-rope walk of managing everything is what forms the crux of the song's lyrics.
Written by Puneet Sharma, the song manages to capture the optimism in the middle of tough situations.
The composition itself is minimalistic with just a smattering of the keyboard with the guitar rhythm playing the main lead. However, it is the mellow voice of Jasleen Kaur Royal that brings the magic through the entire composition.
It is soothing, soft, refreshing, and acts like a lullaby. In an age of fast tempo, high rhythm compositions, this minimalistic number does have an appeal.
The film will be released on 3 November.
