बड़ा नाम करेंगे

The title track of Sooraj Barjatya's (Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo) debut web series 'Bada Naam Karenge' (SonyLIV, February 2025), this song announces the world-building ambition of the show's protagonists — Rishabh (Ritik Ghanshani) and Surbhi (Ayesha Kaduskar). Composed and sung by indie musician Anurag Saikia alongside Nakul Chugh and lyricist-performer JUNO, the track blends folk-pop warmth with the Rajshri Productions hallmark of wholesome romantic idealism.

Anurag Saikia builds a folk-pop scaffold around acoustic guitar and tabla, with a dhol flourish at the chorus entry. The arrangement is deliberately unhurried — Rajshri's tradition of musical patience is honoured. JUNO's voice as a third presence adds texture in the bridge, creating a three-person conversation that mirrors the show's ensemble spirit.

JUNO's lyric grounds the abstraction of ambition in the concreteness of togetherness — 'bada naam karenge' is not a solo boast but a shared promise. The construction 'duniya mein' (in the world) makes the declaration outward-facing: this love will be visible, public, earned.

The series is set across two timelines — the 2020 lockdown (when Rishabh and Surbhi first clash and slowly bond) and the present. The title track anchors both timelines, first heard as a tentative hum in lockdown, then as a full declaration in the present-day arc.

The series represents Sooraj Barjatya's first foray into OTT and digital storytelling — a filmmaker known for large-screen family epics adapting to the intimate screen without losing his characteristic warmth. The soundtrack, entirely by Anurag Saikia, marks a significant indie-to-mainstream placement.
