वहम

Veham (वहम) is a track from Dobaaraa (2022), Anurag Kashyap's supernatural thriller starring Taapsee Pannu, released by Saregama with music by Gaurav Chatterji and lyrics by Hussain Haidry. It is sung by Fotty Seven, the alternative hip-hop and rock artist known for his genre-blending work, whose distinctive, gravel-edged vocal delivery gives the track a moodier, rock-adjacent texture uncommon in mainstream Hindi film music. Released on 13 August 2022 as part of the film's promotional rollout, the song was also issued in a 'Jhankar Beats' version, and is picturized around the film's guest performer Taapsee Pannu, underscoring Dobaaraa's atmosphere of psychological unease and blurred reality.

Gaurav Chatterji frames Veham with a moodier, alternative-leaning arrangement suited to Fotty Seven's genre-blending style, moving away from conventional filmi orchestration toward a darker, rock-adjacent texture. Fotty Seven's delivery — rougher and more textured than typical playback singing — gives the track an unsettled, almost confessional quality that matches the song's theme of creeping delusion.

Hussain Haidry's lyric builds around 'rooh talak utra jo andhera' (the darkness that descended right to the soul), using the imagery of encroaching shadow and unending solitude ('phail gaya tanhaai ka ghera') to depict a mind losing its grip on certainty. The title word 'veham' — delusion or unfounded suspicion — frames the entire song as an interior psychological state rather than an external event, mirroring the protagonist's own uncertainty in Dobaaraa about what is real.

Dobaaraa follows Antara (Taapsee Pannu), who after witnessing a fatal accident discovers she can communicate through an old TV set with a boy living in the same house 25 years earlier, setting off a race to alter the past. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and produced by Ellipsis Entertainment with Zee Studios, the film is an official remake of the Spanish thriller Mirage and released theatrically on 19 August 2022. Veham, credited to Fotty Seven with a picturization involving Taapsee Pannu, is part of the soundtrack's darker, mood-driven register — described in press coverage as 'the most delusional track' of the album, reflecting the film's central tension between memory, perception, and reality.

Veham did not chart commercially, in line with Dobaaraa's modest box-office and streaming performance overall, but it stands out within Fotty Seven's discography as one of his more visible Bollywood playback credits, and a 'Jhankar Beats' remix version was released as a separate single, indicating some continued label interest in the track.
