All about the song and Satya

Sapne Mein Milti Hai was part of the soundtrack of Ram Gopal Varma's Satya. The song was sung by Asha Bhosle and Suresh Wadkar, composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, and written by Gulzar. The song was an immediate hit when it was released in 1998. Picturised on Shefali and Manoj, it shows the two actors, playing a couple in the film, dancing to their heart's content.

Satya, a crime drama, was a commercial and critical success. It starred JD Chakravarthy in the titular role, alongside Urmila Matondkar, Saurabh Shukla, Paresh Rawal, Govind Namdeo, Manoj, and Shefali. It marked a breakthrough for both young actors.
