Red FM has joined hands with Western Railway to create a music video with RJ Malishka, aimed at deepening the connection between Mumbaikars and the Western Railway. The music video is titled ‘Lay Bhaari’. The move is interesting as the RJ has been known to taken on Mumbai civic infrastructure (essentially the roads) every monsoon. And since the tune is catchy, the video has gone viral several times over, embarrassing the governments of the day.
Commenting on the collaboration, Sumit Thakur, Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railway, said: “The ‘Lay Bhaari’ song sung by RJ Malishka appeals in her ‘bindaas’ Mumbai lingo to follow rules and regulations for a happy and safe train journey. The song gives several social messages like, security at stations, special provisions for ladies and Divyangjan passengers, Not Boarding/Alighting a moving train, Not traveling on the footboard of the train, etc.
Added Nisha Narayanan, COO & Director, Red FM & Magic FM: “Our association with Western Railway goes beyond a conventional collaboration. ‘Lay Bhaari’ is not just a song; it’s a celebration of the symbiotic relationship between the people of Mumbai and the Western Railway. As a brand that is committed to social responsibility and has consistently pursued innovative ways to connect with our audience, ‘Lay Bhaari’ is a testament to our ability to weave impactful narratives. Malishka, with her unparalleled energy captures the essence of Mumbai. The sounds of Mumbai, including railway announcements, are intricately woven into the melody, creating an immersive experience that resonates with the spirit of the city.
