Bappi Lahiri and Usha Uthup team up after 3 decades for Sab Kushal Mangal

Bappi Lahiri and Usha Uthup are known for their amazing collaborations in songs like Koi Yahan Aha Nache Nache, Rambha Ho Ho Ho and Tu Mujhe Jaan Se Bhi Pyaara. Now, around after three decades, the two legendary singers have once again teamed up for a song in Akshaye Khanna, Priyaank Sharma, and Riva Kishan starrer Sab Kushal Mangal.

While talking about how he got both the legendary singers together for the song, music director Harshit Saxena stated, “I remember the day when lyricist Sameer Anjaan and I went to Bappida’s bungalow and sang the song for him. We had not made the antara till then. Bappida loved the song he even suggested a few tunes for the antara. When we told him we would like to rope in Usha Uthup too for the song, he was elated and immediately called up Ushaji and sang the song to her on the phone. Adjusting the scale of both the singers was a challenge, but we managed that well. I’m so glad we could bring these two legends together.”


Well, the makers have launched the audio of the track and the video is yet to be released. It is surely a treat to listen to Bappi Da and Usha Uthup’s vocals in a song after a long time.

Sab Kushal Mangal will mark the debut of Priyaank Sharma and Riva Kishan. While talking about the debutants, director Karan Vishwanath Kashyap stated, “Both Priyaank and Riva are extremely hard working. Though both of them come from illustrious backgrounds, they went through the same drill that any newcomer to the industry would. I auditioned them both and if I didn’t think they suited their characters, I definitely wouldn’t have cast them in the film. They both have done such a fantastic job in the film that you have to see it believe it. I have no doubt that they both have bright futures ahead of them.”

Sab Kushal Mangal is slated to release on 3rd January 2020.

Racist hate is left unchecked online and it is infecting the offline world

Do more people now seem to believe that they have a licence to hate? That was the question posed by Farhana Haider’s powerful Radio 4 documentary this week. It gave voice to frontline NHS staff facing a resurgence of racism at work, of a type some said they had not experienced for decades.

That is about social norms – of what people believe is acceptable or not. I doubt it is that the social clock is actually turning back half a century. The profound shift in attitudes among younger generations, in particular, and the much greater share of voice of ethnic minorities ourselves should prove powerful antidotes to reject any such effort. But it only takes one or two per cent of people believing they have a licence for racism for the experience of ethnic minorities to feel as though it is regressing a generation.
