This song adds to the overall mystery of the movie and gives the audiences a glimpse into what to expect from the film. Ittefaq has been marketed using all platforms aggressively so it can reach out to viewers across, being a songless movie with a crisp run-time of 100 minutes; this catchy track is a part of the end credits.”

Ittefaq creative producer Juno Chopra says, “The new track Ittefaq Se is a groovy number but doesn’t have the usual dance moves in the video. It carries forward the theme of the movie and maintains the element of mystery that surrounds it. The music video is shot keeping the genre of the movie in mind and doesn’t take away from the look and feel of the movie.”

“Raat Baaki is an evergreen song. And we're presenting it to the millennials in the way they like it, as a lounge track! With intrigue for the film building up, this music video carries the intrigue factor one step further. And fingers crossed, it'll be yet another successful collaboration with Saregama,” says Dharma Productions CEO Apoorva Mehta.
