Mumbai: McDowell’s No.1 Yaari Jam Originals has roped in music sensations Sunidhi Chauhan and Anupam Roy and released – ‘Yaarder Shonge – The Festive Song’. The original is a celebration of Yaari and inclusivity that encourages everyone to be a part of the festive season by overcoming each other’s prejudices.
The new track has been written and composed by Anupam Roy. The music video has been created and produced by McDowell’s No. 1 Soda in collaboration with Hungama Digital Media Entertainment.
Earlier this year, the platform launched the popular song ‘Asli Yaari’ as a Friendship Day anthem with YouTube sensations SANAM, that has garnered over 30 million views and continues to rule the charts.

The new “Bangaliyana” is the celebration of coming together of yaars who think beyond and make the culture more inclusive.
