Yash Raj Films launched the second song ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ from its highly anticipated movie ‘Pathaan’. The new song is a peppy dance number, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone twirling to the beats. ‘Pathaan’ releases in theatres worldwide on 25th January, 2023.
‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ has been shot at an exotic location, with colourful houses, cobbled streets and a sparkling waterfront adding to the aesthetic appeal of the song. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are given company by a huge bunch of background dancers, to add to the dance track feel of the song.
The music, by Vishal – Sheykhar, is peppy, upbeat and foot-tapping. It is also a massive improvement over the first Pathaan number, ‘Besharam Rang’, released last week – both in music, look and feel. However, the choreography, by Bosco-Caesar, is the pits. The dance steps lack energy and dynamism, dulling the effect of the music’s tempo. If it weren’t for the spirited music of the song, ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ would have turned out to be another damp squib like Besharam Rang.
Jhoome Jo Pathaan is sung by Arijit Singh and Sukriti Kakar, with Vishal and Sheykhar adding their own voices to it. Both Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone look like a dream in the song. SRK again upstages Deepika with his sheer, magnetic screen presence. John Abraham, being the primary antagonist in Pathaan, remains conspicuously absent from the current musical promos of the film.
Pathaan releases in theatres on 25th January, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ song is also out in its Tamil and Telugu versions.
