This duet is inspired by the music of Bollywood Cinema. The film industry has been hugely important in India since the early days of Independence and music has been centre-stage in most productions. The music has always been a hybrid between traditional Indian forms and Western popular music and is renowned for its spectacular dance set-pieces.  à¤ªà¥�यार aims to capture the rhythm and spirit of Bollywood.

पà¥�यार is written for players at an advanced intermediate standard and upwards. The melody alternates between vocal and instrumental interludes with Bhangra style rhythms underlying throughout. Accurate articulation will help convey the style.  à¤ªà¥�यार has a performance time of around three minutes.
