The first song from Shahid Kapoor’s upcoming film O Romeo has finally been released, putting an end to weeks of eager anticipation among fans. Titled Hum Toh Tere Hi Liye The, the track brings together an iconic creative trio—composer Vishal Bhardwaj, lyricist Gulzar, and singer Arijit Singh—for a soulful romantic offering.
Ever since a brief glimpse of the song was teased in the film’s trailer, audiences had been waiting for the full version. Upon release, the track lives up to expectations. With poetic lyrics and a gentle, emotionally layered melody, the song casts a quiet yet lasting spell. Arijit Singh’s signature voice, steeped in longing and romance, adds warmth and depth, making it a soothing and immersive listen.
The song also marks the first on-screen pairing of Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, whose chemistry has already become a major talking point. The visuals capture an intense yet tender romance, filled with moments of love, care, yearning, and emotional vulnerability.
As expected from a Vishal Bhardwaj–Gulzar collaboration, the music and lyrics strike a fine balance between simplicity and emotional depth. Gulzar’s evocative words, paired with Arijit’s expressive rendition, make Hum Toh Tere Hi Liye The feel timeless—a slow-burn romantic track that lingers long after it ends.
Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, O Romeo is slated for a Valentine’s release on February 13. Alongside Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, the film features an impressive ensemble cast, including Nana Patekar, Vikrant Massey, Avinash Tiwary, Disha Patani, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Farida Jalal.
