The upcoming Nepali film ‘Koshedhunga’ has released its Teej-themed song ‘Natra Bhane Jindagi Byartha Cha’ via the official YouTube channel of Seven Seas International.
The song features lyrics by Netra Aryal, hookline and music by Khem Century, and vocals by Khem Century, Samikshya Adhikari, and Dipika Bayambu Magar.
Set around the festival of Teej, the song contrasts the emotions and aspirations of married and unmarried women. While married characters celebrate the joys of companionship, the unmarried express their hopes and imagination about future partners.
The music video stars lead actors Sushma Pant and Niti Shah portraying the perspective of unmarried women, while Richa Sharma reflects on married life. Manzil Kumar appears as a hopeful suitor pursuing Sushma’s character, who seems positively inclined.
Directed by Saroj Paudel, the video blends festive tradition with modern choreography and catchy dance beats, making it suitable for Teej celebrations in years to come.
