Kajol grooves to the remake of ‘Ruk Ruk Ruk’

‘Ruk Ruk Ruk’ from ‘Vijaypath’ (1994) is one of the most popular songs of the 90s and two decades later, this peppy track still gets people up and dancing. Tabu and Ajay Devgn’s cult number has now been recreated for the upcoming film, ‘

Helicopter Eela

’, featuring Kajol in the lead. Kajol’s character in the movie is a mother who chases her teenage son to college and in the process, realises her own dream of becoming a singer. She will be seen grooving to ‘Ruk Ruk Ruk’, which has been composed by musician

Raghav Sachar

and sung by Palomi Ghosh.Talking about the new song, which releases on September 25, Raghav says, “I’ve retained the melody just like it was in the original by Anu Malik. We have updated the song with new rap portions that make it more conversational. Since Eela’s character is very expressive, it adds a personal touch to the song.”He reveals that track was composed in record time. Raghav adds, “One morning, Pradeep da (Sarkar, director) called me and said, ‘Raghav, I want you to recreate the ‘Ruk Ruk Ruk’ song for a film I’m working on. Send it to me by afternoon’. I was stumped, but having worked with him for 22 years, I understood. I rushed to the studio and worked up the basic tune with the rap portions by three in the afternoon. By evening, Pradeep da was also in the studio. When he first heard the song, he just got up and started dancing.”
