A Bengali version of the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani wedding song Kudmayi, sung by Ishan Mitra, was dropped by the makers recently.
The song is penned by Baarish and sung and directed by Ishan. “Experience the soulful magic of ‘Kudmayi’ (Bengali Version)—a melodious journey brought to life by the talented artist and music director Ishan Mitra, with heartfelt lyrics penned by Baarish,” Saregama Bengali wrote alongside the video on YouTube.
Karan Johar, who directed the 2023 film, took to his Instagram stories and shared the music video after its release.
The original song was sung by Shahid Mallya, composed by Pritam and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. With its upbeat, festive mood, the music video features vibrant wedding celebrations, showcasing the playful chemistry between the protagonists, Rocky (Ranveer Singh) and Rani (Alia Bhatt), as they navigate the excitement and emotions of their union.
When the song came out in 2023, Karan described it as “Love's got a new song - Kudmayi is out now for your heart to be filled with all things prem.” Sharing the music video on Instagram, Alia had written, “This song gives me butterflies every single time! Kudmayi out now.” Ranveer, on the other hand, captioned it, “A song made with love, for love.”
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which released in theatres on July 28, 2023, revolves around the love story between the flamboyant Punjabi guy Rocky (Ranveer) and Bengali journalist Rani (Alia).
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani has been lauded by critics and viewers for its attempt at breaking down stereotypical gender-roles. Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Hiroo Johar, the film also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.
