Sharing his thoughts about the song, singer Sonu Nigam said, “Music has the power to influence minds positively. I feel any music that is warm and mature, forms a deeper bond and caters to a wider set of audience. My recent song ‘Dhun Badal ke Toh Dekho’ for 92.7 BIG FM is just that, it builds a positive mindset for listeners. It has a sweet and soothing background score and singing it in Bengali made me love it even more. I instantly agreed to sing it as I could connect with the meaningful lyrics. I am sure it will resonate with the audience and encourage them to think differently.”
