डन कर दो

Done Kar Do (डन कर दो) is an upbeat folk-flavoured number from Aanand L. Rai's family drama Raksha Bandhan (2022), composed by Himesh Reshammiya with lyrics by Irshad Kamil, sung by Punjabi vocalist Navraj Hans alongside Jyotica Tangri. Released on 18 July 2022 by Zee Music Company as one of the promotional singles ahead of the film's 11 August 2022 theatrical release, the song was choreographed by Vijay Ganguly and picturized as a celebratory group number built around the film's Old Delhi setting. It sits alongside Kangan Ruby and the Raksha Bandhan title track as part of Himesh Reshammiya's soundtrack for the Akshay Kumar-Bhumi Pednekar starrer, functioning as one of the film's festive, crowd-energy set pieces rather than a narrative-driving track.

Himesh Reshammiya sets Done Kar Do to a bouncy, folk-inflected Punjabi-pop rhythm built for group movement rather than solo balladry — a register he has returned to often for festive filler tracks in his recent scores. Navraj Hans, known primarily as a Punjabi folk and devotional vocalist, brings his signature open-throated delivery to the refrain, while Jyotica Tangri's voice threads through the arrangement to give the track its call-and-response shape, keeping the energy building through repeated hook lines rather than complex melodic movement.

Irshad Kamil's lyric borrows the devotional register of folk prayer-songs — promising unwavering daily praise ('subah ko bhi shaam ko bhi', morning and evening both) in exchange for a wish being granted — and repurposes it into a playful, almost teasing plea rather than a solemn one. The repeated 'ek baar ji' (just once, sir/ma'am) softens the demand into festive banter, giving the song the flavour of a wedding-function tease rather than genuine supplication.

Raksha Bandhan follows Lala Kedarnath (Akshay Kumar), an Old Delhi sweet-shop owner who has vowed to marry off his four younger sisters without dowry before he can marry his own childhood love, Sapna (Bhumi Pednekar). Done Kar Do arrives as one of the film's festive interludes, its group-choreography staging fitting the film's recurring wedding-and-family-celebration backdrop rather than driving the central plot. Released as a promotional single weeks before the film's release, it was one of several songs — alongside Kangan Ruby and the title track — used to market the soundtrack's Himesh Reshammiya-Irshad Kamil pairing ahead of the film's 11 August 2022 opening.

Done Kar Do has not become one of the standout hits from the Raksha Bandhan soundtrack — the film's title track and Kangan Ruby drew more attention — but its official Zee Music Company video has still crossed over 23 million YouTube views, a respectable tally reflecting the reach of Akshay Kumar's star power and Himesh Reshammiya's continued audience even for a secondary track.
