Lyrics – Shakeel Azmi

The soundtrack for the 2004 psychological thriller Madhoshi, composed by Roop Kumar Rathod, aims to reflect the main character’s increasingly fragmented mental state. Unlike typical Bollywood albums, it avoids heavy reliance on dance numbers to underscore the film’s serious tone. Standout tracks include the romantic “O Jaane Jaana” and the intense “Yeh Ishq Hai Gunah,” featuring vocals from Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan. The music ultimately serves as a backdrop to the tense, unfolding mystery, with a more muted, atmospheric approach compared to more traditional commercial albums.
