Mumbai, the lively film capital of Bollywood, continues to act as a melting pot for cultural interactions and influences. Recently, it has been revealed that Shraddha Kapoor, the heroine of the much-awaited movie Stree 2, is smitten by a Pakistani song that has taken the music world by storm. Apart from her ongoing publicity activities for her upcoming film, Kapoor has also made headlines for her musical tastes.
Popularity Of Blockbuster
Shraddha Kapoor has spoken about her favourite songs during the ‘Stree 2’ promotion in Indian media reports. She confessed to loving one specific song, which she mentioned during an interview with Faris Shafi, Umair Butt, and Ghariwi Group called “Blockbuster”. This track was a great hit not only within Pakistan but also globally.
Kapoor gave a huge thumbs-up to ‘Blockbuster’, saying it is one of her all-time favourite songs. She pointed out the music’s quality and unique beats. “This song is not only excellent but also has incredible beats that I can’t get enough of,” Kapoor said. It was clear from what she said about this track being at number one on her playlist.
Rajkummar Rao’s Reaction
During the conversation about ‘Blockbuster,’ Rajkummar Rao, who was present at the interview, started humming the tune. By doing so, he exhibited his fondness for this song in an unplanned way, hence proving that it had reached far beyond just being a popular tune among many people. Rao’s gesture testified to both the cross-border influence of this composition and the common enjoyment of music regardless of geographical boundaries.
The Song’s Success And Cultural Impact
By May 25th this year, ‘Blockbuster’ had achieved massive success with over 35 million views on YouTube alone. The catchy beat and melodic tune have significantly contributed to its wide acceptance by listeners, including those within Pakistan and beyond. The likes of Faris Shafi, Umair Butt and the Ghariwi group made it a hit song in the local music industry.
The Indian entertainment sector also paid attention to this Pakistani hit. Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan, known as ‘Zulfi’, a famous musician, succeeded in creating his rendition of ‘Blockbuster’ performed by Mohammed Rafi. The fact that there is such a crossover genre indicates that this song has universal appeal and resonates with people from different backgrounds who are always eager to explore new things and appreciate other people’s talents.
Zulfi’s Praise And Best Wishes
On his official Instagram handle, Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan, aka “Zulfi,” recently posted a video featuring Shraddha Kapoor speaking about “Blockbuster.” He expressed his happiness over the recognition of his song Beyond Boundaries. In the video, he said, “It’s wonderful to see that appreciation for art knows no borders. I’m thrilled to know that my song ‘Blockbuster’ is at the top of Shraddha Kapoor’s playlist.”
He was also glad that Rajkummar Rao performed these lines without any preparation, thus expressing gratitude for him doing so. “It was delightful to see Rajkummar Rao hum the tune of ‘Blockbuster’. We also really appreciate your art. My best wishes to both of you for the success of your film ‘Stree 2’,” Zulfi added.
The fact that artists from India and Pakistan appreciate each other shows that music is a universal language and can bring about cultural understanding. This son has become a global celebrity, as evidenced by his acceptance among Bollywood icons (Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao). This demonstrates that artistic collaboration can last long, making ‘Blockbuster’ a globally popular song.
