‘'Galliyan,’ an acoustic pop and R&B song, is from the 2014 Bollywood Movie titled ‘Ek Villian.’ Manoj Muntashir penned down the lyrics of this beautiful song while Ankit Tiwari composed the music and sang it. The music video of this track is picturized on Shraddha Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra. However, it is ironic how such a soothing and pleasant song is from a film based on the love story of a villain.
If you have seen the music video of this track, you would know how dreamy it is. The music video shows how the man in love fulfils all the wishes of his partner- holding stars in her palm, dancing with the butterflies, touching the first snow, going underwater, and so much more. However, bringing the visualisation of this song to reality was a big task for the entire crew. During the shooting of the music video, Sidharth and Shraddha had to camp on the top of a hill for hours to capture the beautiful shot of a rather moody peacock opening its wings. It is also often recounted that the underwater shot for the song was completed in seven long hours! Moreover, the beautiful snowfall sequence was shot in a bungalow on the outskirts of Mumbai on one of the hottest days of the schedule.
The emotion expressed in this song is young, immature, and obsessive love, and Ankit Tiwari shared that it was quite easy to express since everyone has gone through that phase. The relatable theme of being madly in love with someone resonated with listeners, contributing to its enduring popularity. The song’s soulful and heartfelt composition led to its inclusion in many lists and charts and got ranked at number 4 in the "Top 10 Songs of 2014" list published by The Indian Express. The song won many accolades, one notable mention being Ankit Tiwari taking home the Filmfare award for Best Male Playback Singer.
