Sonu Nigam, Usha Uthup revive Antakshari nostalgia in Neeraj Ghaywan-directed promotional video · telegraphindia.com

A famous Indian movie director named Neeraj Ghaywan made a new video for the music app Amazon Music.

The video is about a singing game called Antakshari.

In Antakshari, players take turns singing songs that start with the last letter of the song someone else just sang.

Two famous singers, Sonu Nigam and Usha Uthup, joined the video and sang fun songs during a round of the game.

The video shows families and friends playing the game at gatherings, on rooftops, in trains, and even in classrooms.

Long ago, people used to play Antakshari for hours and hours.

The video wants people to remember those happy times and enjoy music together again.

Neeraj Ghaywan said he was happy to make the video because music brings the country together.

At the end, an older person sings a new song called 'Dhurandhar,' which shows that the old game is still loved today.
