Plot
Rhea (Ruhi Singh), a free-spirited girl, whose life turns upside down when her father gets appointed as the Prime Minister of India.

The soundtrack of the album is composed by Nadeem Saifi (Of Nadeem–Shravan) & the lyrics are penned by Sameer. A teaser of the title track sung by Shreya Ghoshal was used for promotions. "Bilkul Socha Na Tha", a beautiful romantic ballad by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, is fast gaining popularity. On the other end of the spectrum is "Mere Ankhon Se Nikle Ansoo", which epitomises heartbreak and tragedy. The peppy college number "Expectations" is sure to resonate with the youth. It seems this fresh romance featuring debutants Krishna Chaturvedi and Ruhi Singh (Miss Universal Peace and Humanity, 2014), besides Lisa Ray and Jaaved Jafferi, that has love, heartbreak and freedom as its main themes, has all the elements in place to woo the audience. Another song "Ishq Ki Barish", voiced by Shreya Ghoshal has two versions one with Javed Ali and another with Sonu Nigam. The latter version of the song was leaked on the web before its release.[2]
