Farhan wrote on Twitter while sharing the song. "Teen Kabootar ki guttar gu ho chuki hai ab shuru," The song’s mood is simple, fun, and in Farhan Akhtar’s own words it is full of ‘matargashti’. T een Kabootar is a zestful song rendered by Mohit Chauhan and Divya Kumar. Composed by Arjunna Harjaie and penned by Kumaar, this one’s a happy yet unconventional party song. But the most interesting part of the song is that the composer has not used any musical instrument except for a guitar in the composition of the song, since he created rhythms through body percussion and natural sounds from various equipment found in jails like brooms, bins, pots, pans and combs etc. Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain’s percussionist younger brother Taufiq Qureshi has rendered the percussion sound . Qureshi has reportedly u...
