The repertoire of the band includes especially composed pieces, which borrow from diverse forms of music.

These pieces will be interspersed with some of the well-known Indi-pop repertoire that Shubha Mudgal has recorded. In terms of the literary content, the songs have verses by celebrated poets like Gulzar sahab, Faiz sahab, Sahir Ludhianvi and others.
