Sheher Ghumawa hits the right note for Soulmates
MUMBAI: Turn up the volume, the party has just begun. Tips Films and Tips Music have dropped Sheher Ghumawa, the high-octane first track from their upcoming film Soulmates, and it is already shaping up to be the season’s dance anthem.
Belting out the vocals is none other than Mika Singh, with Sunny Vik’s foot-tapping music and Raj Fatehpur’s playful lyrics making it a surefire crowd-pleaser. The track, out on 30 September, leads up to the digital release of Soulmates on 17 October.
The video adds an extra splash of colour, pairing Mika Singh with Hira Warina in a vibrant, visually striking sequence that matches the track’s celebratory mood.
“This song sets the tone for Soulmates, uplifting, energetic and fun,” said Tips Music managing director Kumar Taurani. Mika Singh called it “infectious” and promised it will stay on party playlists for a long time. Composer Sunny Vik added that working on the song was about finding “the perfect balance of fun and meaning.”
For actress Hira Warina, the track was pure joy to be part of. “It instantly lifts your mood,” she said.
With its addictive rhythm and feel-good vibe, Sheher Ghumawa looks set to soundtrack many nights out before Soulmates hits screens in October.

Cricket proved to be the ultimate growth engine. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and TATA IPL 2026 delivered “record-breaking viewership” across both television and digital screens. The World Cup final alone drew a global peak concurrency of 72.5 million on JioHotstar, cementing its status as the nation’s premier streaming destination. On television, JioStar maintained a commanding 34.2 per cent viewership share, reaching a staggering 810 million viewers nationwide.
The digital numbers were just as impressive. JioHotstar averaged 500 million monthly active users, driven by consistent subscriber growth and innovative AI-led content discovery tools. These advancements are ensuring that JioStar remains at the cutting edge of the global “Race for Attention.”
