Nikamma title song: Abhimanyu Dassani, Shirley Setia and Shilpa Shetty shake a leg

The neverending season of remixes continues in mainstream Hindi cinema. ‘Nikamma Kiya’ from the Tushar Kapoor and Esha Deol Takhtani-starrer Kya Dil Ne Kahaa (2002) is the latest one to get a new avatar in Sabbir Khan’s Nikamma. Considering the title of the film, it is understandable that they chose to recreate this song. 

Apart from the opening line of the 2002 song, which was written by Sanjay Chhel, Danish Sabri has added fresh lyrics, which gel well. The song features vocals by Javed, Mohsin, Dev Negi, Payal Dev and Deane Sequeira and they do a decent job.

The music, however, leaves much to be desired. Composers Javed-Mohsin have kept a same beat on loop almost throughout the song. This, of course, makes you miss the freshness of the original track. 

‘Nikamma’ is a promotional number picturized on Abhimanyu Dassani, Shirley Setia and Shilpa Shetty. Such songs are mostly seen during a film’s end credits. It’s an out-and-out contemporary disco number where all three actors have shown good amount of energy. Dassani and Setia’s chemistry looks good, as is also evident from the trailer. 

Distributed by SPE Films India, Nikamma will be released in theatres on 17 June. 

Watch the song and let us know if you are keen on seeing the film.
