The first song from Madhuri Dixit’s upcoming film Maja Ma was released. The energetic and peppy garba track, titled Boom Padi, sees Madhuri return to the screen in her signature dancing avatar, and fans were all for it. Fans praised the song, Madhuri’s dance, and Shreya Ghoshal’s vocals after the video was released on Thursday morning.
Before Madhuri’s character enters the frame and takes centre stage, the song begins with a visual of garba celebrations. The actor then performs an energetic dance routine to the beats, recalling some of her most memorable songs from the 1980s and 1990s. Ritwik Bhowmik, Barkha Singh, and Srishti Shrivastava, her co-actors, then join her to celebrate and dance.
Fans praised Madhuri’s energy and dance in the comments. One fan wrote, “And the queen is back! What an energetic performance.. loved loved loved it.” Another remarked how Madhuri is managing to keep up with the dancers half her age. “This lady is 55! She doesn’t skip a beat and dancing is still impeccable! Oh, we are blessed to have Madhuri Dixit,” read one comment.
Written by Priya Saraiya and composed by Souumil Shringarpure and Siddharth Mahadevan, Boom Padi has been sung Shreya Ghoshal and Osman Mir. Many fans called the vocals of Shreya and dance of Madhuri ‘the perfect combination’. One fan commented, “When the vocal expression matches perfectly with the facial expression of dancer, it creates magic. And who can do this better than Shreya Ghoshal and Madhuri Dixit!” Shreya had sung Dola Re Dola in the 2002 film Devdas, which was picturised on Madhuri and Aishwarya Rai.
“I am so happy and excited to be have sung this brilliant song”, said Shreya Ghoshal, adding, “I was fortunate enough to have sung the first-ever song of my career for a Madhuri Dixit-starrer – Devdas – and of course have sung many other songs for her after that. Boom Padi is even more special for me as it is Madhuri ji’s first-ever garba dance number. I am sure the audiences will love the song and it will be a festive season favourite all over.”
