As fans are still soaking in the beauty of Pardesiya’s soundtrack sung by Sonu Nigam and Krishnakali Saha, another track has taken over the conversation. Bheegi Bheegi, voiced by Shreya Ghoshal and Adnan Sami, dropped yesterday, and listeners are calling it the perfect Bollywood rain song. From graceful thumkas to romantic moments in the rain, the visuals and vocals capture everything audiences love about such sequences.
The music video features Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor dancing in the rain, with chemistry so intense that fans feel it truly lives up to the phrase “paani mein aag laga di.” Yet while many are praising the song, a different debate has started online—who rules the screen this year, Kiara Advani in War 2 or Janhvi Kapoor in Param Sundari?
Kiara’s bikini-clad look from War 2 has been a talking point since the first look was unveiled, with fans admiring her bold and glamorous presence. Meanwhile, Janhvi’s monochrome sarees and captivating expressions in Param Sundari have impressed audiences with a different kind of allure. This has also led to discussions about which on-screen pairing would make for a sexier couple with stronger chemistry.
However, beyond the fun of the face-off, some voices have raised a more serious concern about Bollywood’s tendency to reduce female characters to their appearance. The focus on revealing sarees or bikinis as a way to attract attention has drawn criticism, as it overshadows talent and performance. It remains troubling that actresses are still judged more for their looks than their craft, pushing many to consider cosmetic enhancements just to stay relevant in the industry.
