Do you know about this incredible Moroccan Canadian model who dances like no one’s watching? Yes, of course you do! You have watched Big Boss season 9 and yes we are talking about Nora Fatehi. She rose to fame after having shared videos of her grooving in the internet and now social media is strewn with the news of her belly dance in the re-created song of Dilbar in Satyameva Jayate. Item songs have been rendered meaningful because of this diva whose magic and charm is unprecedented. But it doesn’t end there for her, no. this is just the beginning. She will be performing an item number in the upcoming Stree starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.

Dancing alongside her will be our hero, Rajkumar Rao, sizzling in perfect sync. Amar Kaushik’s Stree is a horror comedy, a paradox in itself. The song will reflect the overall tone and themes of the movie and will incorporate several humorous elements and witty lyrics. Nora for instance will be seen sporting a saree and sneakers a seemingly eccentric combination to say the least. A relatively quirky and fun song, it serves as a comic relief, a suspension as it comes at an important juncture in the entire storyline. The absurdity of the attire isn’t limited to just Fatehi but reportedly Rao will also be seen in an equally weird outfit. The purpose of this will only become evident when we pay these people a visit in the theatres.
Her performance in Dilbar has roused our curiosity. She is seen impersonating Sushmita Sen’s moves from the 90s with a tangy belly twist. Recent developments include her collaboration with the Moroccan music producer Saad Lamjarred for the purpose of making an original video shot in India. Dilbar has become an instantaneous hit and we can see the new unnamed item song following its footsteps.
Stree chronicles a popular urban legend known to everyone in the Chanderi village of Bhopal will be releasing later the following month, 31st August. Well, clearly your September will be a blast and Nora is here to make it even better.
Item songs are not dying anytime soon. Indeed, where would Bollywood stand if they did? Hindi cinema thrives on item songs and the trend of offensive misogynist lyrics in item numbers is witnessing a decline however. You will be a better judge of that, so watch this and all the other item numbers. If you don’t enjoy it, you can always judge.
