Badshah’s latest track, “Morni,” released just two days ago, is turning heads! A recreation of the iconic “Morni Baga Ma Bole” from the 1991 classic Lamhe, this song brings a fresh, modern twist to the beloved Rajasthani folk tune. Featuring Sharvi Yadav’s soulful vocals and Badshah’s trademark rap, the track strikes a balance between nostalgia and contemporary energy.
The rap deserves special praise—it’s sharp, well-written, and has a relatable vibe. It feels like Badshah knows exactly who he’s targeting with his lyrics, giving the track an edge that adds depth to its otherwise high-energy beats. Sharvi Yadav’s voice perfectly complements the fusion, maintaining the folk essence while riding on the modern production.
The music video is a visual treat, featuring Preity Mukhundhan in vibrant traditional attire, set against striking backdrops. The dance sequences and colorful visuals enhance the track’s celebratory vibe, making it perfect for any party playlist.
However, as much as the song excites, the original remains iconic in its own right. This version adds a fun, danceable twist but may not evoke the same timeless charm. Still, Badshah has managed to recreate it with style, making it appealing for a younger audience while respecting the roots of the original.
Final Thoughts
“Morni” is a vibrant and energetic track that bridges generations. With its catchy beats, impressive rap, and stunning visuals, it’s a song that’s sure to be a hit on the dance floor. While the original still holds a special place in our hearts, Badshah’s modern take is worth a listen!
