‘Ul Jalool Ishq’ is designed as a celebration of love in its purest, most innocent form. The track spotlights the tender, playful chemistry between Fatima Sana Shaikh and Vijay Varma, instantly evoking the giddy warmth of first romance. Set against the backdrop of Purani Dilli and Punjab’s fading kothis, the song offers audiences a poetic glimpse into the world of Gustaakh Ishq.

The creative ensemble behind the track is nothing short of legendary. Vishal Bhardwaj’s stirring composition blends seamlessly with Gulzar’s evocative lyrics, while Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty lends his mastery to the sonic landscape. The vocals — rendered with haunting beauty by National Award winner Shilpa Rao and Papon — give the song its soul, making it an instant mood-setter for anyone who has ever experienced love.

Directed by Vibhu Puri, Gustaakh Ishq – Kuch Pehle Jaisa promises to be a poignant love story laced with passion, longing, and unspoken desire. For Malhotra, the project is not just about filmmaking but also about reviving the timeless magic of classic Indian cinema while keeping it rooted in today’s cinematic sensibilities.

With ‘Ul Jalool Ishq’ now streaming on Zee Music, audiences are already swooning over the old-world romance it brings back. If the song is any indication, Gustaakh Ishq might just make fans fall in love all over again.

Coming to the film, it is produced under Malhotra’s banner Stage5 Production with his brother Dinesh Malhotra and it marks a major milestone as the celebrated couturier expands his creative vision beyond fashion into the world of cinema. Scheduled to release on November 21, 2025, the film is being touted as Malhotra’s passion project — one that blends nostalgia with modern storytelling.
