Tak Dhoom, the new friendship anthem

In the yesteryears, friendship was the busiest concept behind songs and these songs were loved equally by listeners, so much that whenever friendship is mentioned, only those particular evergreen songs are hummed everywhere even now. Another addition to this rendition is the song Tak Dhoom from the film Desi Kattey, which is being loved by listeners all over and has been viewed a high number of times on Youtube. 

Sung by two uber melodious singers whose voices lack no number of fans and have the capability to capture hearts in a trance without a doubt, one is our very own mellifluous Kailash Kher and the other is the ever symphonic Rahat Fateh Ali Khan from across the border. Both these singers share one thing in common and that's that each and every new song they sing becomes an instant hit as soon as it releases. Imagine the supernova that would follow when these two collaborate and that is what did. 

 

"It has been a long time since a song solely based on friendship came out. This song means a lot to me not just because it showcases friendship in the film, but also because it talks of the friendship that Rahat and I share.", said Kailash Kher when asked about this song.

Tak Dhoom has been written and sung by the lyrically rich Kailash Kher himself. So rejoice about the various friendships in your life and sing along with your friends and chums the newest friendship anthem Tak Dhoom.

Veeru Jat's cold drinks sold like magic at airports

Talk about the struggling and straining required to become a hero and make it big and film Khota Sikka's hero Atri Kumar, alias Veeru Jat, tells his story excitedly. 'When Narendra Modi can sell tea and become prime minister, then why can't I become a hero by selling cold drinks? His tea gave people the warmth they were looking for, so I thought that my cold drinks will provide people with the coolness they seek.' 

And so he came to Delhi, sold a lot of cold drinks at the airport there, whilst watching stars go in and out of view. Then someone suggested that to get closer to the stars, Mumbai is the way to go. Without looking back, Atri Kumar then shifted his cold drinks' business to the Mumbai airport and slowly developed ties with Coca Cola and became the king of cold drinks and established himself into a success. 

While gazing at and admiring the artists that frequented the airport with their stardom in tow, he didn't realize when he became an artist himself and Atri Kumar is now the hero of film Khota Sikka-Jat Ke Thaat. Set to release on 12th December, this film is presented by Bright Outdoor's Yogesh Lakhani and is produced by Manoj Bharadwaj.

 Currently, Kher and his band Kailasa are on a tour in the U.S. So far, he has sung at the Niagara Falls in Canada's Toronto. He also made the India Day Parade all the more harmonious in Manhattan, and also put San Francisco in a trance.
