Radhika Bansal’s debut feature Meethe Mein Kya Hai has added a second song to its soundtrack: Chhad De. Where the earlier track Jagmaga set a festive mood, the new release turns inward, using a warm melody to talk about release, love and the possibility of starting over.
What the song says
Composed by Amit Trivedi and written by Kumaar, Chhad De is sung by Mohit Chauhan and Akanksha Sethi. Its central idea is simple: stop carrying the things that hold you back. The lyrics and melody focus on what lies ahead rather than on the past, and the arrangement keeps that message gentle and uplifting.
The track also leaves space for romance. It suggests that unexpected connections and second chances can appear when a person stops clinging to old disappointments, which ties into the film’s larger theme of happiness arriving when it is least expected.
- Composer: Amit Trivedi
- Singers: Mohit Chauhan and Akanksha Sethi
- Lyricist: Kumaar
- Mood: Hopeful, with a romantic undercurrent
The Diwali backdrop
Meethe Mein Kya Hai unfolds over four days during Diwali at the family matriarch’s home in Lucknow. The story follows a multigenerational reunion, capturing the chaos, affection and surprises that come when relatives gather under one roof. Written and directed by Radhika Bansal, the film is designed as a family entertainer, and Chhad De gives that reunion an emotional centre.
The song’s “let it go” message fits the setting. A family celebration is often the moment when old grievances surface; the track’s refrain points toward putting them down before they dominate the room.
Why the soundtrack sequence works
Hindi film albums often work best when they move between registers. Jagmaga brings the Diwali cheer; Chhad De gives the album a more reflective track that can stay with listeners after the festival lights come down. That sequencing is a quiet strength for a film built around four days of celebration.
What to do next
If you follow Amit Trivedi and Mohit Chauhan’s collaborations, this is an easy addition to the playlist. You can pair it with Jagmaga to hear how the album moves from festivity to reflection. The film premieres on Netflix on October 30, so there is just enough time to live with the songs before the full story arrives.
