क़यामत

Qayamat (क़यामत) from Housefull 5 (2025) is a vibrant party duet sung by Neeraj Shridhar — whose career includes the iconic Woh Lamhe (2006) — and Shruti Dhasmana, composed by White Noise Collectives with lyrics by SOM. Released by T-Series and running two minutes and forty-four seconds, it is the shortest song on the Housefull 5 soundtrack and deploys the classic Urdu hyperbole of 'qayamat' (doomsday) to describe an overwhelming feminine beauty in a comedic context.

White Noise Collectives build Qayamat on a bass-heavy electronic foundation with dholak and brass accents — a combination that sits between club music and the wedding-party sound. At 2:44 the song is almost ruthlessly concise, achieving its emotional and physical goal quickly. Neeraj Shridhar's voice — which famously launched with Woh Lamhe's falsetto — is here used in a more grounded, chest-register mode, and Shruti Dhasmana's counterpart brings youthful energy.

SOM's lyric uses the Urdu poetic tradition of hyperbolic devastation — 'qayamat' (apocalypse) as a metaphor for feminine beauty — in a party context that lightens the grandiose to the comic. The tradition runs from Mirza Ghalib through countless film songs; here SOM strips it to its catchiest, most functional core.

Neeraj Shridhar's association with the Housefull franchise goes back to earlier instalments; his return for Housefull 5 with White Noise Collectives as composers represents an evolving franchise policy of mixing established playback names with newer production talent. Shruti Dhasmana's casting as the female voice was influenced by her ability to match Shridhar's energy within a compressed running time.

Qayamat demonstrates White Noise Collectives' versatility — on the same album they delivered the romantic Dil-E-Nadaan and this dance-floor track, showing compositional range within a single film project. For Neeraj Shridhar, the song extends a Bollywood career that has seen him move from the soft-rock ballad sphere of Woh Lamhe to increasingly diverse genres.
