I Hate Luv Storys - I Hate Luv Storys by Vishal And Shekhar, Vishal Dadlani

The I Hate Luv Storys album has several strong tracks, but I Hate Luv Storys - I Hate Luv Storys is the one most listeners come back to first. The arrangement here is the work of Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Vishal And Shekhar, Vishal Dadlani understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. Featuring Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

2010 was a strong year for Hindi music, and I Hate Luv Storys - I Hate Luv Storys was among the reasons why. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

Running to 4:45, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Vishal And Shekhar, Vishal Dadlani and Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
