‘Zinda Banda‘, the new song from Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited ‘Jawan’ is out. It is the first song from the movie to release. It is also music composer Anirudh Ravichander’s first ever song to release in the Hindi film industry. The buzzy music composer is making his Bollywood debut with ‘Jawan’.
To be very honest, the song ‘Zinda Banda’ is quite average. The tune is mediocre, the lyrics even more so. The worst part of the song is its singing, by Anirudh Ravichander himself. The tone and tenor of Anirudh’s voice doesn’t match with Shah Rukh Khan’s personality at all, thereby rendering the song quite tame, and hence SRK’s persona in the movie itself.
Ideally, Zinda Banda should have amped up the excitement for Jawan even more than it already is. Instead, all that Zinda Banda has done is dilute the thrill of the movie, and must we say, killed it totally. Putting it succinctly, Zinda Banda has literally undone all the good work that the prevue of ‘Jawan’ had painstakingly done.
The visuals in Zinda Banda are average too, nothing to write home about. But yes, Shah Rukh Khan looks as good as ever in the first song from Jawan. So that’s a relief for fans of King Khan.
Jawan releases in theatres on 7th September, 2023. Have a look at Zinda Banda from the upcoming film –
