Development edit
"Nagada Sang Dhol" is recorded at AVA Studios in Mumbai. The song is mixed and mastered by Tanay Gajjar[5] and arranged and produced by Tubby-Parik.[6] The song was choreographed by Samir & Arsh Tanna.[7] The duo complimented Deepika Padukone for her efforts though she sustained major bruises and swellings on her feet while performing some heavy-duty dance steps.[8] It was reported that the actress stuck to the routine and shot for the song on the allotted schedule sporting medical braces to relax her movements.[9] The shooting of the song took ten days at an expensive set put up at Film City.[10] Sanjay Leela Bhansali brought over traditional Garba dancers from Gujarat to teach the Garba in the traditional way to Padukone.[11]
Release edit
A promo of the song was uploaded on Eros Now YouTube page on 1 October 2013.[12] The full audio song was released on 2 October 2013 along with other songs of the album.[13] The number was released just in time for the Navratri festival that has Dandiya nights for nine days, full of Garba dance.[14] The song was available at iTunes[2] the same day of release and for online streaming at Saavn[15] on 7 October 2013 and at Gaana[16] the following day.
Picturization edit
The video of the song shows Deepika Padukone performing Gujarati traditional garba dance in a red lehenga choli. The song begins with a teary-eyed Deepika lighting up diyas and performing garba with vengeance.[8] The song's video was praised highly for Padukone's dancing skills and its Gujarati flavour.[17]
Reception edit
Upon its release, the song was compared with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's "Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje"[18] in Bhansali's 1999 superhit, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam for the similarities.[citation needed]
The song turned extremely popular among youth and garba lovers. It was reportedly heard playing during the entire Dandiya festival that year.[19] Due to its popularity and high demand, the singer of the song, Shreya Ghoshal, performed this number in many of her concerts.[20] On September 30, 2013 the limited video of the song was released on the YouTube channel of Eros Now and had 95,463,174 views as of February 22, 2019.
