The wedding song from Shikara titled Shukrana Gul Khile has hit the internet today. Producer and director Vidhu Vinod Chopra took to social media to announce the news.

Mumbai: Ringing the wedding bells in authentic Kashmiri style, makers of the film Shikara on Friday dropped the wedding song Shukrana Gul Khile.

Director Vidhu Vinod Chopra on Twitter announced the release of the song. He wrote: "An authentic Kashmiri Pandit wedding of yesteryears. Song out now."

With Kashmiri music setting the tone in the background, the song picturised the wedding of the lead couple.

Crooned by Munir Ahmad Mir and penned by Bashir Arif, the authentic folk music treats audiences with a slice of the Kashmiri culture.

Going by the video, the musicians are seen playing traditional instruments while relatives of the couple are seen celebrating the wedding - clapping and dancing to the tunes of the music.

Alongside the celebrations, the video also showed the outbreak of conflict in a parallel note.

The film narrates the story of the mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley in 1990 and the bond between the lead actors in the worst of times.

The film showcases 40,000 real migrants of Jagti and other camps. It also has real footage from the time of the mass exodus.
