Heroine is a 2012 drama film directed, written, and co-produced by Madhur Bhandarkar. The film features Kareena Kapoor as the protagonist along with actors Arjun Rampal, Randeep Hooda and Rakesh Bapat.

 

A disturbed actress faces the challenges of being in an industry packed with talent. To save her sinking career and avoid being replaced by newer talent, she decides to take a drastic step that she may regret later.

 

It was announced that music director duo Salim–Sulaiman, who had earlier worked with Madhur Bhandarkar in his critically acclaimed movie Fashion, will be composing the songs for Heroine. During the shooting of the film, Bhandarkar revealed that there would be two big item numbers in the film, both to be picturised on the leading lady. One of them being called "Halkat Jawani". Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan is scheduled as a single track release on 17 August 2012. Musicperk.com rated the album 7/10 quoting "Although songs like Halkat Jawani, Khwahishein and Tujhpe fida sound nice and enthusiastic as independent tracks, others probably would need to rely on the picturisation of the song for the required effect to be created".
