Posted On: 24 March 2019

Earlier today the second song of the period drama Kalank was out, titled First Class which marks Zafar aka Varun Dhawan’s entry in the movie. The song also features Kiara Adwani who looks gorgeous. Today, Varun and Alia launched the song at Gaiety cinema in Mumbai, in the most stylish way possible. The duo were seen dancing to the tunes of First Class on the balcony of the theatre, which made the fans cheer loudly for the two wonderful actors in Bollywood. The couple were dressed in black and looked awesome together. The friendly bond that they share is proof why they are one of the best on-screen jodis in Bolywood. Pritam who has composed the song, told BT, “The idea was to come up with a track that feels like a retro number from the '50s. We had to create a fun, mohalla song which has masti and mazak with a beautiful underlying layer of emotion. Striking that balance in terms of lyrics and the tune was challenging. It felt amazing when we finally cracked it." He further added, “The character is being introduced to the audience; he talks about a lot of things he feels, sees and experiences around him, but believes ‘sab first class hai.’ That’s how we got the title of the song. While I can’t reveal the relevance of this number in the plot, I can just say that it takes the narrative ahead.” Pritam recalled the time when the Bollywood star first heard the track. “Varun loves songs that have a fun vibe. In this case, he also liked the kind of sound we created. It’s that rare mix of Indian instruments — we’ve emphasised on using live dholkis and dhols. It actually felt like I was a composer in the Partition era because I was recording the sound with so many live instrumentalists,” the composer further added.
