The fact is that any movie is incomplete without music. Admit it or not, the music and situation of the songs make the movie an enjoyable experience. With so many wonderful Pakistani movies being released, we can proudly say that the music is as good as the content of our films. Confused? Well, we are talking about the recently held music launch of movie Hijrat. The movie is a love story which plays out in the foreground of the exodus of millions of people from Afghanistan to Pakistan following the Afghan War.

The atmosphere of the launch event was light-hearted and charged, especially because of the presence of Ali Azmat. Ali has lent his musical talent to the movie’s original soundtrack. The movie’s music has been composed by Sahir Ali Bagga who is a well renowned musician in Pakistan Cinema. During the event, Ali Azmat spoke at length about the OST of the film and that the second song that he has sung for the movie is a club number.

All in all, the event proved to be a success!
