Sadka - I Hate Luv Storys by Vishal And Shekhar, Suraj Jagan, Mahalakshmi Iyer

Sadka - I Hate Luv Storys works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. The music, composed by Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The voice of Vishal And Shekhar, Suraj Jagan, Mahalakshmi Iyer carries Sadka - I Hate Luv Storys effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor are at the heart of I Hate Luv Storys, and Sadka - I Hate Luv Storys captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

Released in 2010, it arrived at a time when Hindi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Some music is background. Sadka - I Hate Luv Storys demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The concision of Sadka - I Hate Luv Storys — just 5:43 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. The track stands as evidence that Vishal And Shekhar, Suraj Jagan, Mahalakshmi Iyer and Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
