==Development==<br />
The inspiration for the song struck Dada Kondke during a hunting expedition in the [[Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary]].<ref name=":0" /><br />

He observed a solitary black cloud in the sky, which began to release a light drizzle. The tranquil scene and the rhythmic sound of the rain inspired him to write the song, capturing the serene atmosphere and the gentle fall of the rain.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=10 May 2023 |title=Dada Kondke Songs Songadya :दादांना राधानगरीच्या जंगलात सुचलं 'वर ढगाळ लागली कळं… |url=https://marathi.itsmajja.com/how-actor-dada-konkde-write-var-dhagala-lagli-kal-marathi-song-marathi-info/#google_vignette |access-date=30 November 2024 |website=ittsmajja.com |language=mr}}</ref><br />

The court further ordered the removal of the promotional song, "Dhagala Lagali Kala," from all digital platforms due to copyright violations.<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 September 2019 |title=Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Dream Girl song 'Dhagala Lagali Kala' pulled down from digital platforms after court order |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/bollywood/ayushmann-khurrana-starrer-dream-girl-song-dhagala-lagali-kala-pulled-digital-platforms-court-order/ |access-date=11 November 2024 |website=Bollywood Hungama |language=en}}</ref> <br />
