Shankar Mahadevan Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy Naseeruddin Shah Ritwik Bhowmik
LUXE SYNOPSIS – "Virah" is a soul-stirring classical ballad from the acclaimed web series Bandish Bandits (2020), sung by the legendary Shankar Mahadevan, with music composed by the iconic trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and profound lyrics penned by Sameer Samant. The song beautifully captures the essence of longing and separation (virah) in Indian classical music tradition. The lyrics speak of a devotee's plea to drench every part of themselves in the colors of love, unable to remove the stain of love from their soul. The haunting melody and Shankar Mahadevan's powerful vocals create an atmosphere of deep devotion and emotional intensity, making this track a standout masterpiece from the series that perfectly blends classical and contemporary sensibilities.
