Singer-music composer B Praak's latest song ‘Duniya’ explores heartbreak and betrayal. With lyrics by his frequent collaborator, Jaani, the song has also been composed by B Praak.
While the music video featuring Sunny Singh and Saiee Manjrekar, the song is presented by RF Digital and Saga Music, and produced by Sumeet Singh. The music video is directed by Amarpreet GS Chhabra, and the cinematographer is Prashant Dandekar.
The stylised video tells the story of two brothers and their love for the same woman. The location is that of a palatial mansion in Rajasthan, where Sunny Singh is being arrested. We are told the story in flashback, where we see the love blossoming between Sunny Singh and Saiee Manjrekar.
Singh plays a double role, where he is both, Manjrekar’s tormentor as well as the lover. In the end, it emerges that Manjrekar is the one who played both the men, leading to the context for the song of betrayal.
The song features B Praak’s signature high-pitched voice which highlights the anguish that one feels at being betrayed in love. We see the singer driving in his car across the desert land, that seems to echo the feeling of bareness when the lover is revealed to be deceitful.
