अनदेखी

Andekhi (अनदेखी) is the female-lead romantic track from Judaa Hoke Bhi (2022), Vikram Bhatt's supernatural drama billed as the world's first film made entirely through virtual production. Composed by Puneet Dixit with lyrics by Shweta Bothra, the song is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and picturized on lead pair Akshay Oberoi and Aindrita Ray, alongside Meherzan Mazda. Released by Zee Music Company on YouTube around the film's 15 July 2022 release, the official video has drawn over 3 million views — one of the stronger numbers among the film's soundtrack, which otherwise leaned on Mohit Chauhan, Ankit Tiwari and Stebin Ben for its male-voiced tracks. Andekhi provides the record's tender, female-perspective counterpoint to the film's heavier, separation-themed songs like Rootha Hoon and the title track.

Puneet Dixit keeps Andekhi in a restrained, slow-tempo register, built to showcase Sunidhi Chauhan's ability to sit inside a soft, intimate melody rather than her more commonly heard high-energy register. The arrangement stays sparse in its verses, opening space for the vocal, and is one of several Puneet Dixit compositions on the soundtrack alongside contributions from Amjad Nadeem Aamir, Harish Sagane and Chote Baba across the album.

Shweta Bothra's lyric imagines romance as a journey into the unmapped — 'andekhi raahon mein' (down unseen paths) — asking to be held close and led somewhere undefined, a gentler emotional register than the film's dominant theme of heartbreak and separation. The simplicity of the imagery (unseen roads, an embrace) keeps the song accessible while still carrying the yearning quality typical of Bothra's writing across the soundtrack.

Judaa Hoke Bhi follows Aman Khanna, a once-successful singer spiralling into alcoholism and despair after the death of his young son, and his wife Meera, an author struggling with the marriage's collapse. Directed by Vikram Bhatt and written by Mahesh Bhatt, the film was notable as the world's first entirely virtual-production feature and released theatrically on 15 July 2022. Andekhi, picturized on the film's romantic leads Akshay Oberoi and Aindrita Ray, functions as one of the softer, tender counterpoints within a soundtrack otherwise dominated by songs of heartbreak and estrangement, matching the film's central themes of love complicated by loss and distance.

Among the seven tracks on the Judaa Hoke Bhi soundtrack, Andekhi's official Zee Music Company video has drawn over 3 million YouTube views, a solid result for a film that otherwise received a modest theatrical release, aided by Sunidhi Chauhan's established playback-singing profile and the soundtrack's overall reach through Zee Music's distribution.
