The latest addition to the Thamma music album, “Poison Baby,” has set screens and social media ablaze. The high-energy dance number stars Malaika Arora and Rashmika Mandanna, bringing glamour, groove, and a hint of mischief to the upcoming Diwali release. Fans were quick to notice not only the dazzling choreography but also a fun surprise cameo by director Amar Kaushik, adding another layer of excitement to the song.
Malaika Arora Turns Up the Heat
In “Poison Baby,” Malaika Arora lights up the club setting with her signature moves, perfectly complementing the peppy beats of the track. Sung by Jasmine Sandlas, Sachin-Jigar, and Divya Kumar, the song combines catchy lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya with a visually engaging club sequence. Malaika dominates the screen with her electrifying presence, twirling and grooving amidst a host of backup dancers, fully in sync with the song’s infectious rhythm.
The song begins with Ayushmann Khurrana’s character entering the club alongside Rashmika Mandanna. In a playful twist, Rashmika’s attention is drawn to a glass of red wine, which she drinks in a dramatic, single gulp before joining Malaika on the dance floor. Their combined energy and chemistry bring life to the number, making it an instant crowd-puller.
Fans Praise the Performances
Social media fans were quick to laud the performances. Comments flooded in: “Malaika nailed it” and “Rashmika and Malaika Arora’s dance moves are fire” were among the most common reactions. The choreography and screen presence of both actors drew particular appreciation, with many noting that the song perfectly captures the fun and glitzy vibe of a club scene in a Bollywood horror-comedy setting.
Adding to the excitement was the cameo appearance by Amar Kaushik, who has directed previous installments in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). Fans immediately recognized him and shared their delight online: “Amar Kaushik! MHCU’s Every Item Song is Crazy & Permanent!” and “I spot Amar Kaushik! Can’t wait to see Bhediya in the film too!” His short appearance serves as a fun Easter egg for fans familiar with the universe.
