New Delhi: The famous ‘Dhan Te Nan’ song from the film ‘Kaminey’ is back in a new form as 'Phir Dhan Te Nan' in Vishal Bhardwaj & Luv Ranjan’s film 'Kuttey' starring an ensemble cast of Arjun Kapoor, Tabu, Radhika Madan, Shardul Bhardwaj, Naseeruddin Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Kumud Mishra. 


Exploring the caper genre, the song further introduces the audience to the black comedy thriller world of 'Kuttey'. Vishal Bhardwaj has given music for the song and the lyrics are by Gulzar. Sukhwinder Singh and Vishal Dadlani have given their voice to the track. 


We once saw Shahid Kapoor dancing to the tunes of this song and now the new ensemble cast of the film is dancing and recreating all the rage in this new version of the song. 



Talking about what went behind composing it, Vishal Bhardwaj said, “'Phir Dhan Te Nan' is an emotion which 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 and 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.” 


‘Kuttey’ is produced by Luv Ranjan, Vishal Bhardwaj, Ankur Garg and Rekha Bhardwaj under the banner of Luv Films and Vishal Bhardwaj Films, and presented by Gulshan Kumar and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series.
