Shah Rukh Khan has lauded the release of ‘Tu Pehli Tu Aakhri’ the second song from Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood. This soul-stirring romantic ballad, composed, produced and arranged by Shashwat Sachdev and brought to life by Arijit Singh’s evocative vocals and Kumaar’s haunting lyrics, marks a poignant counterpoint to the series’ high-octane opening song, emerging as a masterpiece of emotional resonance. Where ‘Badli Si Hawa Hai’ captured the frenetic energy of ambition and upheaval, ‘Tu Pehli Tu Aakhri’ unfolds as a sweeping ode to first love, embracing its innocence and lingering ache.
Shashwat Sachdev, who is the music director and composer for the entire series, shares his artistic vision, “In developing this melody, my goal was to fuse youthful exuberance with profound depth. I believe the simplest emotions often carry the most enduring weight.”
Arijit Singh adds, “Recording 'Tu Pehli Tu Aakhri' was an intimate journey into the heart of young love. Each note felt like a confession, and I hope listeners experience the same bittersweet joy and nostalgia that moved me during its creation.”
Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to express his profound admiration, stating, “Here’s #TuPehliTuAakhri…This young man Shashwat has done amazing work with the music of #TheBadsofBollywood. Bless you, beta, for your hard work, perseverance and creativity. This love song from the score is one of my favourites. Shash, you are magic and magic is you! And @kumaarofficial’s lyrics are lovely, paaji! Watch The Ba***ds of Bollywood, out 18 September, only on Netflix.”
The song's accompanying video, featuring Lakshya and Sahher Bambba, beautifully complements the series’ vibrant aesthetic with intimate visuals. Soft-focus montages, stolen glances and sun-dappled moments underscore the song’s theme of an all-consuming, timeless bond. This delicate imagery offers viewers a deeper, more personal glimpse into Aryan Khan’s stylized yet emotionally charged universe, where love acts as both a tender refuge and an unshakeable force.
Beyond its individual charm, ‘Tu Pehli Tu Aakhri’ significantly enriches The Ba**ds of Bollywood’s* multi-faceted soundtrack, introducing emotional gravity into a narrative already brimming with humour, drama and relentless energy. It stands as a testament to the series’ ambitious vision: to transcend music’s traditional role as mere backdrop and elevate it into a vital narrative engine.
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and co-created by Aryan Khan, Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, The Ba**ds of Bollywood boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Vijayant Kohli, Gautami Kapoor and Rajat Bedi. The series is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on September 18, promising a refreshingly bold and intricately scored portrait of Bollywood’s hidden heart.
