The soundtrack for Vikram Bhatt’s psychological thriller Hacked trades a single cohesive vision for a multi-composer compilation approach, resulting in an album driven by high-energy digital beats and heavy romantic melodies. Rather than relying on traditional storytelling structures, the 8-track album leans heavily into the glossy, commercial soundscapes popular in late-2010s Bollywood dramas. Listeners are treated to a diverse sonic experience, ranging from the high-tempo party rhythms of Apeksha Dandekar’s “Lavkar Love Karuya” to the pulsing, synth-heavy tension of the instrumental “Hacked Theme”. Ultimately, it is the moody, broken-hearted love ballads like Yasser Desai’s “Ab Na Phir Se” and Stebin Ben’s breakthrough hit “Tujhe Hasil Karunga” that anchor the project, perfectly capturing the dark, obsessive undercurrents of the film’s cyber-stalking narrative.
