Everything you need to know about 'Phir Dhan Te Nan' song from Vishal Bhardwaj & Luv Ranjan’s KUTTEY

The announcement of bringing the new and unique 'Phir Dhan Te Nan' song in Vishal Bhardwaj & Luv Ranjan’s KUTTEY has in itself created a lot of excitement among the audience. Putting up a break on audiences' long waits to witness 2023's first blockbuster song, 'Phir Dhen Te Nan' is finally here and is all set to redefine the definition of a Chartbuster song of the year.

Composer of the music of the much-awaited song, Vishal Bhardwaj, shares his thoughts on what went behind composing it.


'Phir Dhan Te Nan' is an emotion that wells up inside you. It's catchy, yet stirs up the memories of the original song, Dhan Te Nan, which was a chartbuster that never lost its charm. It is played even today. Perhaps that's why initially it was challenging for us to compose Phir Dhan Te Nan think about making changes to the original tune. We needed to integrate both, keeping the originality of the former with the freshness of the latter intact. Another challenge was that Dhan Te Nan is so perfect. That's why had to have multiple sittings, discussions, and jamming sessions before finalising the new version. Dhan Te Nan was composed more than a dozen years ago, so we had to keep in mind that the changes in the new version had to reflect the contemporary beats and music of today yet have its soul intact. A major decision was retaining the original singers and lyricist again - Sukhwinder and Vishal Dadlani, singing Phir Dhan Te Nan with the legendary Gulzar Saab writing the lyrics. We will always be extremely thankful to Gulzar Saab for helping us with this one too. Vishal's vibrant voice combined with Sukhwinder's crooning spells magic for our song. It's sensuous, rhythmic, and pulsating. Now it's all out and all yours to feel the magic too.”

Exploring the caper genre, The eagerly awaited 'Phir Dhan Te Nan' song will further introduce the audience to the black comedy thriller world of KUTTEY. Well known for creating some really amazing music, Vishal Bhardwaj has given music for the song on the lyrics of Gulzar. The song is sung by two powerful singers Sukhwinder Singh and Vishal Dadlani.

Moreover, the 'Phir Dhan Te Nan' song is undoubtedly one of the most special and the biggest song that has finally been released. This one has definitely come as a big treat to the audience at the beginning of the year while rising the bar of excitement for the release of the film. We have seen once Shahid Kapoor dancing to the tunes of this song and now the new ensembled cast of Arjun Kapoor, Tabu, Radhika Madan, Shardul Bhardwaj, Naseeruddin Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Kumud Mishra is dancing and recreating all the rage in this new version of the song which is truly going to be a madness to witness on the screen.

Aimee Lou Wood criticises SNL’s ‘White Potus’ parody for mocking her teeth

Aimee Lou Wood, star of The White Lotus, recently found herself at the centre of controversy after a parody of her character aired on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The skit, a political spoof titled The White Potus, humorously exaggerated aspects of the show, but for Wood, it went too far. Comedian Sarah Sherman impersonated Wood's character, Chelsea, with oversized prosthetic teeth. For Aimee Lou, this portrayal hit a nerve, and she openly criticised it.

Taking to Instagram, the actress expressed her discontent, calling the parody “mean and unfunny.” She argued that while she understood SNL was known for satire, the skit could have been executed with more sophistication and less cheap humour. Wood, who has always been open about her unique appearance, especially her noticeable gap teeth, clarified that she doesn't mind caricatures or playful jabs, but felt this one crossed a line. “I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth,” she wrote, pointing out that the entire joke seemed to target her appearance rather than the content of the skit.

Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King soar to space in a historic all-women Blue Origin flight

On Monday morning, six women including pop icon Katy Perry boarded a Blue Origin rocket in West Texas and took off on a short flight to space. The crew spent just over 10 minutes on the journey, experiencing those minutes of weightlessness before they safely returned to Earth.

What made this flight stand out, though, wasn’t just the celebrity presence. This was the first time in over six decades that an all-women team flew to space together. The last time anything close happened was in 1963, when Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to orbit Earth, alone, on a Soviet mission.
