Bobi Kat by Shubhash Fouji, Manju Bala, Naresh Narsi, Minakshi Panchal, Ritesh Dalal, Anuja, Chanpreet Channi, Mahesh Kumar, Pushpa Gosai

Not every song from Naya Deewana lingers, but Bobi Kat is the one that stays. The music, composed by Max Studio, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The performance by Shubhash Fouji, Manju Bala, Naresh Narsi, Minakshi Panchal, Ritesh Dalal, Anuja, Chanpreet Channi, Mahesh Kumar, Pushpa Gosai is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Bobi Kat is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

2020 marked the release of Naya Deewana, and Bobi Kat was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is no right time to listen to Bobi Kat. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

The 5:19 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The track stands as evidence that Shubhash Fouji, Manju Bala, Naresh Narsi, Minakshi Panchal, Ritesh Dalal, Anuja, Chanpreet Channi, Mahesh Kumar, Pushpa Gosai and Max Studio, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
