Maahi Ve is the song on the album Highway, produced and composed by A.R. Rahman. The album is part of the movie of the same name, which was released in 2014 and directed by Imtiaz Ali. In the film, there were two lead actors: Alia Bhatt, who played Veera Tripathi, and Randeep Hooda, who played Mahabir Bhati.
The soundtrack of Highway had 9 songs in the album, all of which were released digitally by T-series on 10 January 2014. Both the background score and the soundtracks of the movie were able to receive positive reviews from several critics; some reviewers called Patakha Guddi, one of the songs present in the movie, to be the song of the year for 2014.
At first, the director and producer of the film didn't want any songs in the movie. They wanted to stick with a background score for the entire film. Still keeping in mind the taste of Indian viewers, they recorded a total of 8 songs before the film was complete. One more song, "Sooha Saha," was recorded after the filming of the movie was completed.
Maahi Ve is one of the rare songs in which A.R. Rahman has given his voice; after the 2011 Rockstar movie, it was this film in which A.R. Rahman came into the recording studio and lent his voice to this song. Maahi Ve, over the years, has become an anthem for showcasing love and companionship. The composition of the song truly depicts the soul of the film. The song can potentially become your friend, guide, or even a positive state of mind.

Mike has been playing guitar since age 14; he immersed himself in the Neo-Classical works of Malmsteen, Moore, and Macalpine.
