Ik Khwab E Tamanna Bhoole The - Nawab Sahib by C. Arjun, Asha Bhosle

C. Arjun, Asha Bhosle's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. Featuring Parikshit Sahni, Tamannaah Bhatia, Rehana Sultan, Johny Walker, Farida Jalal, Om Prakash, Chand Usmani, Veena, Bharat Bhushan Pant, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.
