Balma Bhagora – Zara Noor Abbas is only saving grace of cringefest

So far we at MediaSpringPK have praised the music Parey Hut Love both songs and videos have been a treat to watch with some element of refreshing. But here comes a setback. The Bhojpuri music inspired “party track” ‘Balma Bhagora’ is absolute cringefest.

Sung by Aima Baig along with Sheheryar Munawar and Ahmed Ali Butt rapping a few verses, the music video showcases PHL casT dancing like mad in front of atrocious graphics – perhaps graphics from the 1990s could have done a better service here. The song is a bad combo of many cringe songs from across the border and made up the feel of Bhojpuri number does more harm. The kind of audiovisual treat that can give you “cancer in the ear and eyes” on social media.

Another miss in the music video is the styling of the cast in the video and the inconsistency in the look and feel. As entertainment portal of an English daily noted:

“Why is Zara Noor Abbas heavily dressed complete with heavy jewellery while Maya Ali wears a halter top with knee high boots under a lehnga? And more importantly, what is that fur coat Sheheryar has on? Although we didn’t mind Ahmed Ali Butt’s glasses; why couldn’t everyone follow that lead?”

Dance moves and cartography is also unimpressive and it lacks synchronization hence the visual outcome is nothing but

Let’s not even talk about the choreography of the track.

If you’re going to have [badly dressed] backup dancers in a music video, the least you can do is make sure they’re all in sync. That’s why you want them there, don’t you? Or was it to show off the pompoms in their hair?

Even the stars aren’t performing the track in, and the result looks lackadaisical.

Talking about the only saving grace (or somewhat saving grace) of the music video is Zara Noor Abbas, Zara, wearing a heavily embroidered dress completely owns the segment of the song. She brings up subtle yet pumped-up energy to the screen.
