बना शराबी (महिला संस्करण)

Bana Sharabi (Female Version) is an alternate rendition of Govinda Naam Mera's romantic centerpiece 'Bana Sharabi', sung by Neeti Mohan and released by Sony Music India on 14 December 2022, two days ahead of the film's Disney+ Hotstar premiere. The original song — composed and written by Tanishk Bagchi and sung by Jubin Nautiyal — was picturized on Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar as a soft romantic number amid the film's murder-comedy plot. This female-voiced version keeps Bagchi's melody and lyrics intact but reframes the song's declaration of love-struck intoxication from a woman's perspective, a common Bollywood practice of releasing companion 'female version' or 'reprise' tracks alongside a film's main song to widen its reach across singer fan bases and mood-based playlists.

Tanishk Bagchi keeps the female version's melody and instrumentation close to his original composition, transposing the tune for Neeti Mohan's vocal range rather than reworking the arrangement. Mohan's rendition brings a softer, more plaintive delivery to the same romantic hook, giving the track a companion-piece feel to Jubin Nautiyal's original rather than a distinct reinterpretation — a common approach for these promotional 'female version' releases where the priority is offering the same song across singer preferences rather than a fresh musical take.

Tanishk Bagchi's lyric describes falling in love at first sight in the vocabulary of intoxication — 'bana sharabi' (turned into a drunkard) — with the beloved's glance ('pehli nazar') doing what wine or liquor would, seizing the heartbeat ('dhadkan') entirely. In the female version, the same lines are voiced as a woman's confession of being overwhelmed, keeping the song's core metaphor of love-as-intoxication unchanged across both renditions.

In Govinda Naam Mera, the original 'Bana Sharabi' plays as a romantic beat between the film's tangled love triangle of Govinda (Vicky Kaushal), his wife Gauri (Bhumi Pednekar) and girlfriend Suku (Kiara Advani), directed by Shashank Khaitan. Rather than a picturized alternate scene, this Neeti Mohan-sung female version was released purely as an audio single by Sony Music India ahead of the film's 16 December 2022 Disney+ Hotstar premiere, following the standard Bollywood practice of issuing extra sung versions of a soundtrack's key romantic song to extend its promotional footprint.

The female version has drawn a modest audience of roughly 135,000 views on its official Sony Music India/Tanishk Bagchi YouTube upload — far smaller than the original Jubin Nautiyal version's tens of millions of views — reflecting its role as a secondary, catalogue-completing release rather than a chart-driving single in its own right. Its main value is as part of the wider 'Bana Sharabi' song family within the Govinda Naam Mera soundtrack, which also includes a reprise sung by Lakshay Kapoor and a short 'trending version' edit.
