Nafrat by Darshan Raval

Nafrat is one of those rare Indian Pop tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. Darshan Raval's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

Darshan Raval inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2025 marked the release of I Loved You, and Nafrat was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is no right time to listen to Nafrat. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

The concision of Nafrat — just 3:34 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. For anyone yet to hear Nafrat, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
