The track is a rendition of this folk song which is sacred to Kashmiris and their heritage. Interestingly, ‘Chol Homa Roshay’ was first brought to life by Ali Saifuddin who is a celebrated young singer from Kashmir. His vocals were then given to the film’s music composer in France.

Loik Dury and Christophe ‘Disco’ Minck, who are both celebrated music composers from France, took Ali’s vocals and mixed it to keep the original authentic Kashmiri feel. They used rare instruments while arranging the music (one of them being the Cristal Baschet).
