So to do something different this Diwali, we take you back to the Govinda era which gave us a song on Sonpapdi! Why not tune into it?

Well, let's not get to the lyrics but most of us have grew up listening and dancing to Govinda's hit numbers. The outfits of the leads are more interesting to see than the shiny package of Sonpapdi boxes. And the dance steps, take us back to the good old typically choreographed moves. So this Diwali, don't gift a Soanpapdi, listen to one. Happy Diwali, folks!
