Just as the warmth of their story builds, the trailer shifts to an unexpected twist, leaving viewers eager for more. Music plays a central role in setting the film’s tone, with three standout tracks already making waves: Khalbaliyaan, billed as the club anthem of 2025; Khudaya Ishq, a romantic ballad winning hearts; and Doriyan, a haunting track that captures the ache of heartbreak. Alongside Khan and Kapoor, the film features performances by Lisa Haydon, Soni Razdan, Farida Jalal, Parmeet Sethi and Ridhi Dogra. Directed by Aarti S. Bagdi and produced by Vivek B. Agrawal, Aabeer Gulaal is presented by Indian Stories (UK), with music by Amit Trivedi and lyrics by Kumaar.
Described as a celebration of second chances and unspoken connections, the film promises to blend laughter, longing and love in equal measure.
