Music composer G. V. Prakash Kumar has shared insights into ‘Bhabhi Tabaahi’, the song from the upcoming film Nayyi Navelli, describing it as a track that blends a desi flavour with fresh energy and “a little bit of madness”.
The song features Yami Gautam Dhar, who plays the lead in the film. Composed and produced by G. V. Prakash Kumar, with lyrics by Vayu and vocals by Neeti Mohan, the track introduces the film’s new bhabhi to the family through a wedding celebration.
Talking about the song, G. V. Prakash Kumar said, “‘Bhabhi Tabaahi’ was one of those songs where we just wanted to have fun with the sound. It has a very desi flavour, but at the same time it has to feel fresh and have a lot of energy.”
“We didn’t want it to feel predictable, so we played around with the rhythm and the arrangement. Vayu’s lyrics have a mischievous energy, and Neeti’s voice brings so much character to the song. Yami also understood exactly what the song needed from her character,” he added.
“There’s a little bit of madness running through the whole thing, which I think is what makes the song so enjoyable. It’s the kind of song you can imagine playing at a family celebration, with everyone joining in,” he said.
Set against a wedding celebration, the song showcases Yami taking centre stage as she makes her grand entry into the family. It brings together Bhangra, rap, classical and hip-hop, moving across different musical styles while retaining the energy of a desi celebration.
Choreographer Vijay Ganguly also praised the song and Yami’s performance, saying, “‘Bhabhi Tabaahi’ was one of the most fun songs I have choreographed, and it was even more special with Yami who is playing Mohini in the film.”
“Mohini has a distinct personality, and can change expressions and dance forms on the click of a beat. The choreography had to have the same confidence with just the right amount of cheekiness, so it feels like it belongs to Mohini,” he added.
Ganguly said the song was closely integrated into the film’s narrative, particularly the Devar-Bhabhi faceoff.
“The song is so well written in the script that the narrative was too much fun to choreograph, especially the Devar-Bhabhi faceoff. Yami worked very hard to make sure we could pull off long takes and brought so much spontaneity to the performance,” he said.
“The song and the visuals will grow on you and will surely keep you wanting to watch it again and again,” Ganguly added.
The film also stars Addinath M Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vashisth, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee, Sonal Jha, Suneel Sinha, Prateek Pachori, Akshat Singh, Babita Pandey, Ajay Pal and Neeraj Singh in pivotal roles.
Produced by Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma, Nayyi Navelli is directed by Balaji Mohan and written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film is scheduled to release in theatres across India on October 16, 2026.
