"Champagne" from Alpha (2026) is a bold, effervescent female-friendship anthem lasting 2:40, sung by Akasa Singh alongside composers Rohansh and Abeer Pandit. Written by Anvita Dutt — a lyricist known for her feminist, unconventional voice in titles like Bulbbul and Tumhari Sulu — the song captures the irreverent chemistry of Alia Bhatt's Sita and Sharvari's Durga, two women who have survived impossible odds and choose to celebrate. The track was CBFC-certified alongside Massacre and Haaniya Ve in June 2026.

Clocking in at just 2:40, Champagne is built for impact over duration. The Pandit brothers layer shimmering synths over a punchy four-on-the-floor beat, Akasa Singh's breathy-yet-powerful delivery floating above the mix. Anvita Dutt's writing avoids the typical Bollywood celebration tropes — there is no hero, no romantic lead; the celebration is entirely between two women, for themselves. This lyrical framing, rare in mainstream commercial cinema, gives the track an unusual freshness.

Anvita Dutt writes with characteristic economy — short, declarative lines that hit like punches. The imagery is deliberately aspirational and transgressive for Bollywood, centering women who celebrate not for or because of men but in defiance of the world that tried to break them.

Anvita Dutt had previously collaborated with YRF on Hichki (2018) and delivered cult lyrics in Bulbbul (2020). Her casting as lyricist for the female-centric Alpha tracks (Champagne) signals YRF's conscious effort to bring feminine authorial voice into the franchise. Akasa Singh, signed to YRF's music roster, was chosen for her contemporary pop credibility.

Part of the wave of 2020s Bollywood soundtracks emphasising female camaraderie and agency — a trend accelerated by Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara's legacy and films like Dil Dhadakne Do. As a two-minute-forty-second highlight track, it functions more as a trailer-moment anthem than a standalone streaming hit, but places Akasa Singh and Anvita Dutt front and centre in a blockbuster context.
