An emotional journey—with bonus electro and acoustic sizzlers

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil may just be the ultimate romance soundtrack, displaying composer Pritam's wide emotional reach and solid musical fundas—and packed with enough hooks to keep the songs lodged firmly in your brain long after that tearful goodbye scene. The Sufi-inspired “Bulleya”, the energetic party anthem “The Breakup Song” and the brisk electronic number “Cutiepie” hold their own, but it's Arijit Singh's vocals on the title track—starting close and intimate, and building to a heartbreaking crescendo—that grab tight and don't let go.
