The name of the song is ‘Thame Dil Ko’ and is composed by Lalit Pandit, of Jatin-Lalit fame. It is written by Alok Ranjha Jha. The solo romantic number appears at a cute juncture in the show and it adds to the impact. What is also appealing is that ‘Thame Dil Ko’ has a very 90s vibe. It won’t be surprising if those watching the show, at first, assume that the track is from a 90s film!
‘Thame Dil Ko’ marks Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s major comeback to Hindi film music. The last significant song sung by him for a Bollywood movie was ‘Dil Ka Jo Haal Hai’ from the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Besharam(2013). Incidentally, it was also composed by Lalit Pandit and had a 90s feel.
After Besharam, he voiced the recreations of ‘Shehar Ki Ladki’ in Khandaani Shafakhana (2019) and ‘Husn Hai Suhana’ in Coolie No 1 (2020). Abhijeet also sang songs in Mahayoddha Rama (2016), the OTT film Shukranu (2020), Love You Loktantra (2022) and The Purvanchal Files (2023). However, these songs didn’t get noticed. Interestingly, ‘Thame Dil Ko’ was also earlier used in another web show – Flames Season 2 (2019). But thanks to its placement in the highly popular Panchayat Season 3, ‘Thame Dil Ko’ now has the potential to work big time.
Panchayat Season 3 began streaming on Amazon Prime Video on May 28. It takes the story forward after the events of the second season and is set in a sleepy village in North India named Phulera. It stars Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, Neena Gupta, Faisal Malik and Chandan Roy in leading roles.
