Indeed, BarheChalo marks the fifth release from DoosriDasktak, having previously released ‘Befiker’, ‘Panchi’ featuring Alycia Dias, ‘Pyar Hua’, and ‘Zara SuniyeTou’ featuring Natasha Khan.

BarheChalo, played and recorded live, is a song which highlights the importance of change needed in the times we live in, and that the change can only come from within.

“We once shot the video for this song a few years ago but unfortunately lost the footage. Last month, we shot 6 videos of our live sessions back at the studio. We have experimented with different styles this time and believe that each song will have a different set of listeners. These are going to be performance based videos with different setups and looks since every song has a very different direction of sound and feel. We wanted to keep these simple and effective.We are excited to be back and this time we shall be a little more consistent!” said Saad Hayat and RehanNazim.
