The song ‘Murshad’ from the upcoming film Moh (2022), sung by B Praak, who has given the music as well, is a passionate song of reverent love. The lyrics are by Jaani.
Starring Gitaj Bindrakhia and Sargun Mehta in the lead roles, Moh is based on a story by Shiv Tarsem Singh and Govind Singh.
Shot amidst a lush field filled with mustard flowers, the song 'Mursha captures the romance between the protagonists. Gitaj Bindrakhia watches as Sargun Mehta gets drenched in the rain. She catches him watching her. Romance blooms between them and the two start to spend time together.

The song seems to be shot partly in an old fort where Mehta and Bindrakhia cherish each other’s company. She reads him poetry and he brings her small gifts. However, there seems to be a time of separation as the lovers part and are left heartbroken.
The lyrics and music of the song capture the passion that the two share, one that is above ordinary, mundane love. Elevating the lover to that of the divine, the song becomes an almost reverent one. Jaani and B Praak are well-known for their Sufi-inspired tracks that usually dwell on intense feelings of love and ‘Murshad’ is another such number.
The cinematography by Navneet Misser creates the atmosphere for the two lovers as it shifts between idyllic locales to the everyday setting of their homes. At the time of heartbreak, the landscape too, shifts to being a desolate one, mirroring the feelings of the lovers.
The film also stars Amrit Amby, Prabh Bains, Prakash Gadhu, and Balraj Sidhu. The romance drama, directed by Jagdeep Sidhu, will be releasing in theatres on 16 September.
