A perfect song to chill and match your mood on a bad, stressful day by screaming aloud “Basanti Aaj (2 times) kutton ke saamne na naach”.

Basanti – Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari 

Karishma Tanna looks super-hot while Manoj Bajpai aces the steps to create a delightful song that is bound to top the charts this season thanks to the gyrations of Basanti and a deadly salivating Veeru! 


The trendy and satirical lyrics are a roar and begins with a preamble “Kutte ko jaanne ke liye kutta banna padta hai”. These metaphoric words of wisdom are indeed very true and sermonising! Just like the trailer, the song carries on the trend of the humour quotient with some upbeat music. 


Javed – Mohsin composer duo have really done a commendable job for creating this commercial song with the sound of the 90s. There is a heavy usage of live instrumentation and the music duo have sung the song with gusto with the able support of Payal Dev and Danish Sabri. The combination has come out with a cracker of a song that is bound to set alight one and all in this festive season.
 

Karishma Tanna who features in this song said, “We were certain that we didn’t want a skin show in the song. We wanted to focus on my expression, dance and other artists in the song, and the song itself. An item song doesn’t mean that you need to show skin.”

“Naam was my first attempt at doing a full-fledged music video” says Tulsi Kumar

Tulsi Kumar’s recent single ‘Naam’ penned by Jaani, featuring Millind Gaba is already celebrating overwhelming viewership on YouTube in less than 3 days since its release.

The encouraging numbers stand testimony to the popularity of the song, not to mention the emotional music video about unconditional love.

While Tulsi has featured in a few music videos before, none were as story-based as ‘Naam’.

The versatile artist, who is conquering the independent music space, truly got under the skin of her character and underwent intensive prep for the music video also starring Millind Gaba and directed by Arvindr Khaira.

Talking about her first attempt at doing a full-fledged music video Tulsi Kumar says, “I’m very happy with the kind of response I’ve received for the video. Usually, I feature as a singer & I am out of the space, but now is a great time for independent music and it’s very important for an artist to be in the forefront to develop a greater connect with the audience. I did some rehearsals before we went on the shoot . I think emoting and expressing in the correct way is very important so I’ve just tried my best to work on that & I hope everyone who watches the video gives it all their love.” Adding that “I totally enjoyed the whole process, from recording & making this song to ideating on the video. We wanted a video that connects with audiences and touches base with our human side. ‘Naam’ is a sweet, emotional video that will leave you with a smile on your face.”

Bhushan Kumar’s Naam, is a song of unconditional love penned by Jaani with vocals by Tulsi Kumar and Millind Gaba. The single is out on T-Series’ YouTube channel.
