Netflix’s recently released series, “The Ba***ds of Bollywood,” co-created and directed by debutant Aryan Khan, has unveiled its promotional track “Ghafoor,” featuring a captivating performance by Tamannaah Bhatia. The song, which premiered on September 19, 2025, is already dominating social media and drawing immense praise for its nostalgic value and high-octane energy.
Directed and choreographed by the veteran Farah Khan, “Ghafoor” opens with a conversation between legendary Bollywood villains Gulshan Grover, Shakti Kapoor, and Ranjeet. They introduce “Ghafoor’s island,” a fantastical place brimming with wealth, indulgence, and everything a villain could desire—except for a crucial “item number”. This sets the stage for Tamannaah Bhatia’s grand entrance, descending dramatically in a cage, exuding fierceness and glamour, and injecting much-needed vibrancy into the visuals.
The song’s foot-tapping beats, composed and arranged by Shashwat Sachdev, with powerful vocals by Shilpa Rao and Ujwal Gupta, perfectly complement Tamannaah’s performance. Her sharp dance moves, sizzling screen presence, and unmatched expressions have left viewers stunned. Fans are hailing the song as a “banger” and predicting it will develop its own dedicated fanbase. Comments like “Tamannaah literally fire in Gafoor” and “Tamannah just nailed this song with her beauty, expressions, and dance moves” highlight the widespread appreciation for her artistry. While some fans expressed missing Arshad Warsi, it’s clear that “the three OGs steal the show” with their memorable cameos, even briefly dancing with Tamannaah.
Despite reports circulating that the song might not feature in the main series, “Ghafoor” serves a crucial role in introducing the enigmatic character of Ghafoor, whose identity is revealed only within the show’s narrative. The music video, shot by S. Ravivarman and edited by Tushar Parekh, emphasizes Tamannaah’s visual appeal and frenetic dance skills, igniting audience interest in the series’ plot and characters.
“The Ba***ds of Bollywood,” produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, debuted on September 18, 2025. The satirical action-comedy boasts a stellar cast including Bobby Deol, Lakshya Lalwani, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Rajat Bedi, Manish Chaudhari, Arshad Warsi, Nishant Kkhanduja, and Vijayant Kohli.
