कोई कोई

Koi Koi is the most distinctively personal song in the Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story (2025) soundtrack — notable for having the film's director, Kunal Kohli, credited as both lyricist and vocalist alongside established singers Shaan and Akriti Kakar. The 3:35-minute song is a tender romantic number that benefits from Shaan's effortlessly warm voice and Akriti Kakar's complementary sweetness. Director-as-lyricist-singer is an unusual creative choice that gives the film its most intimate musical moment.

Shaan's production sensibility — characteristically melodic, warm, unhurried — gives Koi Koi its most lyrical quality. The 3:35-minute song is the album's most conventionally romantic piece: a gentle duet in the tradition of 1990s and 2000s Bollywood love songs that Kunal Kohli himself grew up making (Mujhse Dosti Karoge, 2002).

Kunal Kohli's lyrics for Koi Koi explore the quality of 'the rare person' — 'koi koi' meaning 'someone rare, one in a million' — a romantic convention that gives the beloved superlative status. The director-as-lyricist gives the song an unusual directness.

Kunal Kohli is one of the few Bollywood directors to regularly appear as a lyricist and singer on his own film soundtracks. His vocal appearance on Koi Koi alongside Shaan — one of the industry's most reliable voices — and Akriti Kakar creates an unusual tonal blend. The film is his first as director since Teri Meri Kahaani (2012).

Koi Koi is primarily memorable for its unusual creative arrangement — a director who writes and sings his own song alongside established professional singers. In the broader Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story soundtrack, it is the most nostalgic-feeling entry.
