दिल वाले चोर

Dil Waale Chor is the romantic highlight of the Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (2026, T-Series) soundtrack — composed by Rochak Kohli with lyrics by Kumaar and sung by Aditya Rikhari and Shreya Ghoshal. At 3:04, the song anchors the film's love-triangle dynamics with a gently melancholic romantic melody. Shreya Ghoshal's return to a Rochak Kohli composition delivers the kind of silken, emotive vocal that has defined her Hindi film career. The song exists in two forms on the album — the original and a reprise sung by Ayushmann Khurrana himself.

Rochak Kohli's composition keeps the acoustic palette intimate — guitar, piano, and a restrained string arrangement that allows the vocal duality between Aditya Rikhari's lighter tenor and Shreya Ghoshal's full mezzo to carry the emotional narrative. Kumaar's lyric sits comfortably in the contemporary romantic idiom without straining for originality, allowing the melodic beauty and Ghoshal's technical mastery to be the primary event.

Kumaar's lyric works the 'thief of hearts' metaphor — a classic Hindi film romantic trope — with fresh specificity, framing the beloved as simultaneously culpable (a thief) and innocent (he has a heart too). The paradox of being robbed willingly is the song's emotional core.

The decision to also release a reprise sung by lead actor Ayushmann Khurrana reflects his established parallel career as a singer-actor — following his pattern of contributing vocally to his own films (Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Bareilly Ki Barfi, etc.).

Dil Waale Chor extends Shreya Ghoshal's unbroken run as Hindi film music's most dependable romantic voice, while helping establish Aditya Rikhari as a credible new playback presence in the mainstream.
