Emerging singer and actress Kaveri Kapur has unveiled her newest musical creation, Reminisce, shortly after making her acting debut in the romantic drama Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story. The significance of this track goes beyond its melody—it’s a deeply personal piece Kaveri originally composed at the age of 15.
Reminisce represents the original English version of Ek Dhaga Toda Maine, a poignant Hindi track featured in Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story. During the film’s development, Kaveri’s English lyrics were transformed into a Bollywood number by renowned lyricist Prasoon Joshi, who reimagined the song in Hindi while preserving the original emotion.
In discussing the song, Kaveri emphasized its emotional depth and how much it continues to mean to her. “One of the first people to hear Reminisce was Rahman Uncle (A.R. Rahman), who I consider my mentor, and he loved it,” she recounted. Her connection with the Oscar-winning music composer A.R. Rahman has clearly shaped her musical journey. He was among the earliest listeners of the track and gave it his endorsement, which added to her confidence in releasing it.
Kaveri also recalled a powerful piece of advice that Rahman once shared with her, which has stayed with her through the years. “I remember when I was very young, he told me something about art being a divine gift that flows through you, rather than something that originates solely from you. I didn’t understand it then, but I do now,” she reflected. These words left a lasting impression on her, helping her better understand her role as an artist.
The song Reminisce was always meant to remain in English, Kaveri said, even though it found a home in Bollywood through its Hindi version. Now, with the track officially released, she expressed her excitement and relief: “Reminisce was always meant to be an English song, and I’m thrilled to finally share it. It’s been a long time coming.”
The announcement of the release was made through her official Instagram page, where she invited fans to immerse themselves in the emotional landscape of the song. “Experience the emotional power of Reminisce — an original love song by Kaveri, with music produced by the iconic A.R. Rahman. #Reminisce out now only on Times Music,” she wrote.
As its title suggests, Reminisce captures the unpredictable essence of life. The song invites listeners to reflect on their experiences—both triumphant and challenging—through a lens of vulnerability and maturity. It carries a message of introspection and emotional honesty, showcasing Kaveri’s growth not only as a musician but as a storyteller.
While Reminisce marks an important milestone in her music career, Kaveri is also focused on her rising career in cinema. Her next project, Masoom 2, is currently in development. The film is a sequel to the acclaimed 1983 classic Masoom, and the announcement of the project generated considerable excitement when it was made public during a press conference in New Delhi.
The announcement was made by none other than her father, celebrated filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, who is closely involved with the new film. The press conference was held in the lead-up to the 55th International Film Festival of India in Goa last November.
In a surprising revelation that added a touch of drama to the film’s backstory, Shekhar Kapur disclosed a peculiar incident involving the script for Masoom 2. At one point, the script had gone missing during one of his flights. “He had once lost the script for Masoom 2 during a flight,” Kaveri mentioned of her father’s experience, “only for it to be returned later, making the project’s development all the more meaningful.” This unusual twist, where the script was eventually recovered, added even more significance to the project for both father and daughter.
The announcement of Masoom 2 not only stirred anticipation among fans of the original but also highlighted the continuing artistic collaboration between Kaveri and her father. As the sequel prepares to explore new emotional and cinematic territory, Kaveri’s involvement signals her growing footprint in both music and film.
With Reminisce, Kaveri Kapur has not only released a piece of music close to her soul but also reaffirmed her identity as a multifaceted young artist. Drawing upon past experiences, mentorship from musical legends like A.R. Rahman, and her own introspective lyricism, she has created a work that resonates on a deeply personal level.
Her ability to seamlessly transition between music and acting while staying grounded in emotionally rich storytelling sets her apart in the evolving landscape of Indian entertainment. Whether it’s through songs like Reminisce or upcoming cinematic ventures like Masoom 2, Kaveri is carving a path that is uniquely hers—deeply personal, artistically ambitious, and emotionally resonant.
