'Mohabbat Hai' review: Shaheer Sheikh-Hina Khan's excellent chemistry, visually appealing
VYRL Originals recently released a single on YouTube. Titled Mohabbat Hai, it stars Shaheer Sheikh and Hina Khan, who were earlier seen in the song Baarish Ban Jaana. The video, directed by Mohit Suri, has visual elements that keep you hooked to the screens. No wonder the track has crossed 48 lakh views already and is trending on the video-sharing platform. Here's our review.
Singer Stebin Ben's style will remind you of Atif Aslam
The slow-tempo romantic track has been composed by Jeet Gannguli, while Kunaal Vermaa has penned the lyrics. Stebin Ben puts all his emotions while singing this track. If you close your eyes and listen to this number, his voice will give you a feel of Atif Aslam. And, the prominent sounds of the flute and guitar used throughout the song keep you enticed.
Sheikh and Khan light up the screen with their pairing
The five-minute-long video is no less than a short film. It starts with Sheikh and Khan, who are traveling in a car, meeting with an accident. After 25 years, they meet again and fall in love and die. The simplicity and innocence on their faces are heart-warming. It ends with a caption, "One lifetime is not enough to love you," retaining Suri's signature touch.

Really loved how the song tells a story: Khan
While releasing the song's teaser, Khan had written, "The teaser has given some glimpses of how the song is set in different eras." "Shaheer and I have been really great friends. Being directed by Mohit Suri was really a special and amazing experience altogether. I really loved how the song tells you a story," she said on working with Sheikh and the Malang helmer.
The visuals will make you curious about the love story
The best thing about the track is Suri's direction. He was able to narrate an incomplete love story in three different eras pretty efficiently. I had not seen reincarnation in a music video till now. Verdict: Song gets 3, MV gets 4.5/5 stars (for Suri's brilliant storytelling and the lead pair's equation). If you watch it once, you will watch it again for sure.
