Yami Gautam Dhar is all set to entertain audiences with a completely different avatar in her upcoming film Nayyi Navelli. The makers have now released the film’s first song, Bhabhi Tabaahi, giving viewers their first full glimpse of Yami as Mohini, the mysterious new bhabhi at the centre of the story.
Set against the backdrop of a traditional wedding celebration, the song turns Mohini’s Muh Dikhayi ceremony into a colourful musical spectacle. Yami initially appears calm and composed, but soon takes over the celebrations with her energetic dance moves and confident screen presence.
Bhabhi Tabaahi Mixes Bhangra, Rap And Hip-Hop
One of the biggest highlights of Bhabhi Tabaahi is its unusual musical combination. The song brings together Bhangra, rap, classical influences and hip-hop, creating a sound that moves between traditional Indian celebration and contemporary beats.
The track has been composed and produced by G. V. Prakash Kumar, with lyrics by Vayu and vocals by Neeti Mohan. The combination gives the song a playful and energetic character that fits the larger tone of Nayyi Navelli.
G. V. Prakash Kumar has described the song as an attempt to create something fun, fresh and energetic rather than predictable.
Yami Gautam Plays Mohini In Nayyi Navelli
The song also formally introduces Yami Gautam’s character, Mohini. Her entry is important because the film’s promotional campaign has already raised questions about whether the family’s new daughter-in-law could actually be a “daayan”.
Rather than immediately revealing the mystery surrounding Mohini, Bhabhi Tabaahi presents her in a lighter and more celebratory setting.
The contrast between the mysterious character introduced in the film’s earlier promotional material and the lively woman seen dancing at the family celebration adds another layer of curiosity around the movie.
Yami Takes Centre Stage During Muh Dikhayi
The song revolves around the traditional Muh Dikhayi ceremony, a custom associated with welcoming a new bride into the family.
In Bhabhi Tabaahi, the ceremony becomes the setting for a large-scale dance sequence. Yami’s Mohini moves from being the centre of attention as the new bride to becoming the performer who commands the entire celebration.
The track also features a catchy hook step, with Yami performing choreography designed specifically around Mohini’s personality.
Devar-Bhabhi Faceoff Adds A Fun Twist
The song is not simply a solo performance. One of its key elements is a playful Devar-Bhabhi faceoff.
Choreographer Vijay Ganguly has spoken about the sequence, describing Bhabhi Tabaahi as one of the most enjoyable songs he has choreographed. He also highlighted the interaction between the Devar and Bhabhi as one of the entertaining portions of the choreography.
According to Ganguly, Mohini has a distinctive personality that allows her to change expressions and dance styles quickly. The choreography was therefore designed to reflect her confidence and playful side.
Yami Worked Hard For The Dance Sequence
The choreography required Yami to move through different dance styles while maintaining the character’s personality.
Vijay Ganguly revealed that Yami worked hard to perform the long takes and brought spontaneity to the sequence. The choreography was created to match the changing rhythm of the song while keeping Mohini’s expressions and attitude at the centre.
This makes the number more than a conventional wedding song, as the dance is also being used to establish the personality of the film’s mysterious central character.
G. V. Prakash Kumar Wanted A Fresh Desi Sound
For composer G. V. Prakash Kumar, the challenge was to retain the traditional flavour of a wedding celebration while giving the track a modern sound.
The song combines multiple musical influences rather than staying within a single genre. Vayu’s lyrics bring a mischievous tone, while Neeti Mohan’s vocals add another layer of energy to the performance.
The result is a song designed around celebration, humour and movement, matching the fantasy-family world of Nayyi Navelli.
What Is Nayyi Navelli About?
Nayyi Navelli is being presented as a fantasy family entertainer built around humour, suspicion and chaos. The story centres on a new bride whose arrival turns a family’s life upside down.
The film’s promotional material has deliberately played with the question of whether Mohini is actually a “daayan”, creating a mystery around Yami’s character.
The first song now presents another side of that character, showing Mohini confidently participating in a family celebration.
Aanand L. Rai And Himanshu Sharma Back The Film
Nayyi Navelli is produced by Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma. Balaji Mohan is directing the film, while Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma are credited as writers.
The ensemble cast includes Addinath M. Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vashisth, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee, Sonal Jha, Suneel Sinha, Prateek Pachori, Akshat Singh, Babita Pandey, Ajay Pal and Neeraj Singh.
The film is being positioned as a theatrical family entertainer with fantasy elements and a strong comic component.
Nayyi Navelli Release Date
Nayyi Navelli is scheduled to release in cinemas across India on October 16, 2026, ahead of Dussehra.
With Bhabhi Tabaahi, the makers have begun revealing more of the film’s world while keeping the mystery around Mohini intact.
Yami Gautam’s energetic performance, the unusual combination of Bhangra, rap, classical and hip-hop, and the playful Devar-Bhabhi faceoff make the song an important introduction to the film’s central character.
As the theatrical release approaches, audiences will have to wait to discover whether Mohini is simply the charming new Bhabhi—or whether the film’s “Bhabhi Daayan Hai” mystery holds a bigger twist.
