Okay Google, how to market a newly released song? Well, your search engine might not know the very best answer but but Badshah certainly does. And it really is absolutely nothing brief of a thoughts-blowing mash-up video. The Indian rapper has taken Instagram by storm following releasing a mashup video by overlaying his new song Baawla on a scene from the song Channa Mereya. The rap song, which features Badshah, Uchana Amit and Samreen Kaur, was released only yesterday following substantially waiting. We are stunned by not only the new peppy quantity but also the beautiful edit. And we are losing our minds on how such contrasting moods could be brought with each other in just 30 seconds.
The video, taken from Channa Mereya from the 2016 film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, features a solemn Ranbir Kapoor singing and dancing when Anushka Sharma, the bride in the scene, stands dazed. All these years, we’ve recognized the song for its melody and its poetic lines. But, a Badshah mash-up, that also by himself, was unforeseen. Just as Ranbir lifts his hands and turns about himself, we hear Badshah’s lines, “Haath utha ke hawa mein baby ghoom (lift your hands up in the air and spin).” The beats are in step with the actor’s moves and when the word Ghoom hits us once more, we see Ranbir twirling, holding the loose ends of his pagri in one hand and a mic in the other.
The caption reads, “Ye maine banaya hai. Sorry, Dipraj Jadhav, tumhara job khatre mein hai. (This one’s made by me. Sorry, Dipraj Jadhav, your job is in danger.)” Badshah’s jab was pointed towards a further well-liked mashup video creator. He also made use of the hashtags, “Baawla dance” and “Baawla Badshah.”
Within an hour, the video has received more than 1 lakh views. One of the very first comments came from Actor Ayushmann Khurrana who was super impressed with the creation wrote, “Bohut kairaaa (Awesome).” Fans had been also stunned by the edit and left shocked emojis in the comments section. Some liked the mashup and reacted with very first and laughing emojis also. While the edit has left most of us speechless, a couple of fans have dropped praises like “Superb sir,” “Wah, song though” and “Awesome.”
The rap song, released on YouTube on Wednesday by Saga Music, has reached more than 6.6 million views and 77k likes currently. That’s sufficient explanation to celebrate the quantity with a mash-up video with a twist.
At Badshah’s, it is certainly showering praises this monsoon.
