Perhaps the most intelligent feature of the album is what it doesn't do. Billu himself (played by Irrfan Khan) does not have a solo "signature song." He never sings about his feelings. In a Bollywood film where music usually expresses a character's innermost desires, Billu’s lack of a solo vocal track is an auditory index of his voicelessness in society. He is a man whose identity is entirely defined by others (either as a poor barber or as the star's friend), so the music happens around him, never from him.
