A new song from Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming film The Archies is out and it’s a happy dance number featuring lead actors Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Dot., Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda dancing their hearts out at a fair. There is also a Main Hoon Na style floor slide by Agastya Nanda and him giving Suhana a 360-degree flip in the music video.
The song opens with Agastya playing a guitar at a party and doing some interesting dance steps holding the mic stand. He is soon joined by Suhana and Khushi, both in knee-length dresses, joining the troupe to shake a leg. Agastya channels his inner Shah Rukh Khan to do a floor slide to land in front of the two girls, as seen in the Main Hoon Na song Gori Gori.
The song has been written by Zoya’s father and lyricist Javed Akhtar and composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Tejas has sung the energetic dance number with Chelsea Das, Kiara Alemao, Zoe Siddharth, Aryaman Singh, Brendan Alphonso, Urgen Yolmo, Shaurya Singh, Simran Duggal and Kenishaa Francis joining him for the chorus.
