The song comes as a continuation of the excitement generated by the teaser alone, providing a first authentic taste of the tone and setting of the movie. Fatima Sana Shaikh is in the middle of the track.

In the opening shots, she is surrounded by the vanishing splendour of Punjab’s kothis as she moves through deserted hallways where it appears that time has stopped.

Ul Jalool Ishq becomes more than just a love song thanks to her performance.

Ul Jalool Ishq becomes more than just a love song thanks to her performance. Manish Malhotra and director Vibhu Puri have deliberately created the tone of the song. Vishal Bhardwaj serves as a composer with Gulzar's lyrics, giving the song a cosy, eerie sound.

In the film, Fatima is portrayed as a bold character whose feelings influence the narrative rather than as a passive heroine. Instead of just admiring her, viewers are encouraged to empathise with her.

Ul Jalool Ishq serves as the first cinematic appearance for Manish Malhotra and his brother Dinesh Malhotra with Gustaakh Ishq under Stage5 Production.

In addition to introducing the audience to the film's tone, it allows Fatima Sana Shaikh to fully shine as an actor who can convey nuanced emotions without resorting to spectacle. The song successfully reimagines how love is experienced as well as how it is portrayed on screen. The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah in the lead.
