रंग मार दे होली है

Rang Maar De Holi Hai (रंग मार दे होली है) is the festive Holi number from Dukaan (2024), the directorial debut of the acclaimed screenwriting duo Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal (Siddharth-Garima). Composed by Shreyas Puranik with lyrics by Siddharth-Garima themselves, the track brings together four voices — Sunidhi Chauhan, Vishal Dadlani, Bhoomi Trivedi and Gujarati Sufi vocalist Osman Mir — over a fast, folk-flavoured festival beat. Released by Music Garage on 15 March 2024, roughly ten days ahead of Holi and three weeks before the film's 5 April 2024 theatrical release, it is one of the few dedicated Holi festival songs in mainstream Hindi cinema that year, picturized on the film's cast including Monika Panwar, Sikandar Kher and Monali Thakur.

Composer Shreyas Puranik builds Rang Maar De Holi Hai on the sonic vocabulary of a Bollywood Holi song — dhol and nagada-driven percussion, a fast danceable tempo, and a big communal chorus — updated with contemporary studio production. The standout choice is the four-vocalist ensemble: Sunidhi Chauhan and Bhoomi Trivedi bring full-throated female power, Vishal Dadlani adds his signature high-energy edge, and Gujarati Sufi-classical singer Osman Mir lends a folk-devotional colour that roots the track in festival tradition rather than pure dance-pop. Mixed and mastered by Tanay Gajjar, the arrangement is engineered as a call-and-response celebration meant to fill a Holi gathering.

The lyric is written by the film's own directors, Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal, whose screenwriting credits include Bajirao Mastani, Kabir Singh and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Its poetics are deliberately simple and chantable — the title imperative 'rang maar de' (throw the colour on me) works as both invitation and dare, repeated as a communal refrain around the festival call 'holi hai'. Rather than a narrative, the words function as a festival slogan built for crowds to shout back, with the colour of Holi standing in for release, mischief and togetherness.

Dukaan (2024) is a Hindi drama and the directorial debut of screenwriting duo Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal, produced under Waveband Productions and Kalamkaar Picture Productions and released theatrically worldwide on 5 April 2024. The film follows Chameli, who rebrands herself as Jasmine (Monika Panwar), and explores the emotionally charged world of commercial surrogacy, with Sikandar Kher, Monali Thakur and Soham Majumdar in key roles. Rang Maar De Holi Hai functions as the film's festival set-piece — a burst of colour and communal celebration released as a promotional single on 15 March 2024, ahead of both Holi and the film's theatrical bow.

As a dedicated Holi festival song from a 2024 Bollywood release, Rang Maar De Holi Hai holds recurring seasonal value: Holi tracks re-enter playlists and social feeds every spring, giving festival songs a long tail of discovery well beyond their parent film's box-office life. Dukaan itself was a modest theatrical performer, but the song's four-star vocal line-up — and Osman Mir's presence, in the same year he sang the other notable 2024 Holi number 'Holi Ke Rang Ma' from Maharaj — keeps it in circulation as part of the contemporary Holi-song canon rather than as a chart hit.
