This Beautiful Veena Rendition Of Animal's Jamal Kudu Is A Must Watch

The film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Ranbir Kapoor, has not only gained attention for its storyline and excellent performances but has also set new records at the box office. The antagonist of the film, Bobby Deol’s brief yet impactful portrayal as Abrar Haque, especially his entry sequence with the background song Jamal Kudu, has become quite a sensation. The popularity of the song has soared to the extent that its demand on social media led the makers to release its full version publicly. This track has become ubiquitous across social media platforms, inspiring numerous reels and videos.

Unlike the debate surrounding the impact and effects of the movie, there has been a unanimous consensus on the chartbuster status of the song Jamal Kudu. Currently, what’s trending is a veena cover of this viral song from Animal.

Srivani, a skilled veena artist, shared a delightful video on her social media profiles, showcasing her rendition of the Jamal Kudu tune on the instrument. As the video gained viral traction with thousands of views, social media users praised Srivani for her impressive veena rendition of the song.

While this is a soulful rendition of the original Iranian folk song Jamaal Jamaaloo, composed and sung by the Khatereh Group, there have been several equally beautiful compositions that have taken over the internet in the recent past.

For example, just a couple of days ago, another artist named Rishab Rikhiram Sharma stood out with his unique reinterpretation of the song. His version skillfully combines traditional sitar tones with trap beats, resulting in a mesmerising fusion.

Sharing the video on Instagram, the musician expressed, “This marks my entry into 2024. Throughout my childhood, I’ve navigated dual musical paths: mastering sitar traditionally while self-teaching music production. Now, it’s time to blend these passions into an innovative fusion. 2024 beckons for a new sound/revolution."
