There’s a good chance you hadn’t heard about the film Tishnagi before reading this title. This less-known film has just been graced by an item number called ‘Nagadwaley hi. Udhaar wale bye.’ As cheesy as its lyrics are, the visuals are equally dated and gaudy.
The song has been composed by Gufy, and it also features rap portions from Punjabi rapper GPJI. Nagadwaley has been picturised on Kainaat Arora who had made her debut in the comedy film Grand Masti, back in the year 2013.
‘Nagadwaley hi. Udhaar wale bye’ adopts the typical item number template. Kainaat can only be seen showcasing stimulating dance moves, which seem to be a remnant of a bygone Bollywood era. This song would have been a great fit in the industry had it been released in 2005.
Nothing about it looks modern. The choreography, the costumes, the lights, the music… everything has the archetypal item number flair. The song has been sung by Pawni Pandey who we know as the finalist on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs.
She has established a fine footing in the Bollywood playback singing scene over the past few years, having sung songs for films like Gulaab Gang, Manjhi – The Mountain Man, Raees, Phillauri, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Blackmail. Pawni does have a unique voice, but this song doesn’t give her any scope for exploring it.
The other performer in the track is GPJI whose lyrics, whose demeanour and whose rap style, all make him look like an emulated version of Yo Yo Honey Singh. The only difference is the heavy use of Haryanvi in his raps.
Nagadwaley, as we said, is from the upcoming film Tishnagi which stars Aryan Vaid, Qais Tanvee, Rajpal Yadav, Anushka Srivastava, Kaveri Priyam and Sapna Rathore. It is being directed by Sameer Khan, and has its story revolve around a murder mystery that is shrouded in some supernatural events.
The trailer of this film is as generic as its story. It is slated to be released on May 4, but I doubt many will be eagerly awaiting its arrival in the theatres.
