Lockdown - First Season

It was a cool concept because we are remaking songs,

and that's something that I already love doing.

We have to compose two songs within 24 hours. - Okay.

Coming together and making a fusion

is something exciting and something new.

A guy from South India is singing a Punjabi song.

So, that is lovely.

Greetings, I am Raftaar.

I am really nervous. - I am so excited.

It's fun and full of excitement.

Let the Lockdown begin.

'Trust me.'

'It's going to be huge.'

'24 hours for two songs is not a lot of time.'

'Collaborating with him will result in something.'

'I am nervous.'

'That's something that I already love.'

'A legacy... - What kind of songs I will be comfortable with,'

'what kind of song he will be... - Perhaps it will start now.'

'He is absolutely into creating a new song.'

Hi, Badshah. - Hey, man. What's up?

What are you looking at with such interest?

My Lockdown partner's music videos are quite a hit in Youtube.

I am really looking forward to the Lockdown challenge now. Seriously.

But I hope you know that you have just 24 hours.

Are you guys up for this?

Bring it on. I am ready.

I am ready.

Hey!

How are you? - Good. How are you?

Finally... - Welcome. Thank you.

Welcome to my city. Welcome to my place.

I am really excited because I think he does some amazing work.

Collaborating with him will result in something epic.

How many times has it happened that we've met on...

Yes, it was like... Hi. - Hi...

The first thing you notice about Jonita is

she's smiling. She is happy.

So you get those positive vibes.

But the question was, is she crazy like me and my team?

We will come to know about it in real pressure situations.

We will know what she is capable of.

We are here. No more running off the stage. We are locked down

till the next 24 hours. Are you excited?

I am. I am really nervous though. But I am excited. - Exactly.

It was a cool concept because we were remaking songs

and that's something that I already love doing.

This has to be one of the most exciting things I've ever done.

24 hours for two songs is not a lot of time.

We take weeks to shoot one song.

It will be challenging but I think I will get to learn a lot.

So, I am stoked.

What sort of music do you have in mind?

I am trying to incorporate the kind of music

that you have been making and influenced by going out.

I want to incorporate that into me and then make it my own.

We are making something which will remain a hit in years to come.

It's about creating a legacy.

We have to make two remakes and shoot them,

so they should be visually interesting as well.

We will decide on the songs,

jam them, sing and record within 24 hours. Lockdown begins now.

See you.

Yes, so this the place where we can decide

what we want to do, which song we want to do.

So, that's something we should decide as soon as possible because

we don't have a lot of time.

Zone... This is the place to get into your zone.

Your attention gets diverted from other activities and

focus on your work.

I mean the thing that I love the most, music.

I think we should pick a song that people already know and love.

What's the song? - A song that I love is 'Legayi legayi...'

Oh, my God! - From 'Dil to Pagal Hai'.

How about 'Bang Bang'?

"Bang bang..."

Yes, that one. - Oh, I love that song.

I am just thinking like that wouldn't be the best

maximisation of Badshah rapping it.

I don't know. What do you think?

You could think of another one. - True. I think yes...

Yes, let's think of a few more songs.

What kind of songs I will be comfortable with,

what kind of song he will be comfortable with

and we can find a common ground

where we find those songs where we both are just really pumped about.

Which song shall we do? - We can maybe do 'Dhakad'.

"Underwear and t-shirt.." See, that's the point with that.

There is already a rap. - I think Raftaar has done a wonderful job.

And the texture that he has given to the song, requires that.

I don't have that texture.

I am sort of looking at something I really connect.

But there should be some scope in it.

So, I want to do something exciting.

I mean I want to do something different, something unexpected.

There is a lot of brainstorming.

I know time is running out but once we are clear with this,

I think we are going to make it back.

Okay, wait. - What?

We should play a game because when I get stuck like this,

I always play this game. It's called This Or That.

Have you heard of it? - No.

Game! We should focus on choosing a song.

But I am sure she must have something in her mind. What is it?

I will ask you a few questions and

that way we'll all get to know more about Badshah.

It's like trivia about Badshah.

And I think it will be exciting for everybody to watch.

Let's go play. What do you think?

I am excited.

My life is an open book. Everybody knows about me.

I had a concern that it shouldn't be boring.

It should be something crazy.

So that's there. I mean... - Crazy like this!

Oh, no. Take her away.

We are crazy like that.

He doesn't know what he is into.

He agreed to play but he has no idea.

Are you ready? - Yes.

Basically, the way this game works is

like rapid fire. - Okay.

It won't take too long. - Okay.

And I will also try not to take too long to ask.

Okay. Are you ready? - Yes.

Here we go.

Coffee or tea? - Coffee.

Beach or mountains? - Mountains.

Morning or night? - Night.

Briefs or commando? - Commando.

Okay.

What? - What are we getting to see.

Black or yellow? - Yellow.

80's or 90's? - 90's.

Real life crush or celebrity crush? - Celeb crush.

Madhuri Dixit or Raveena Tandon. - Raveena Tandon.

Oh, yes. Obviously, there is your song.

Yes, I should have guessed that. - Yes.

Oh, wait. Yes. - "Stepping up like Raveena Tondon."

Why do you want me to wait? - Nothing. I think...

Listen, this game is going to work. Just give it a little time.

No, I think it's worked. I know what to do. - Really!

Thank you so much for...- I didn't know it would work, so thank God.

No, thank you so much for playing this game.

I think I know what to do now.

I just need to make a call. - What?

Yes. - No, but tell me.

Yes, I will tell you everything. Just wait a minute.

I am the one who has given you this game.

I am the reason you have come to this conclusion.

And now I don't get to know what we're doing. That's not fair.

Okay. - Hello.

I have a feeling that he wants to remake that song.

Because all the questions I just asked him are pointing towards it.

And he thinks he is so cool and I don't know. - Hello.

But I've figured it out.

He is playing a game right now with me.

And he has a good song in mind

and I just really want to know what it is.

I know what it is. - No.

I mean yes.

I know this perfect place where we can jam,

we can record and shoot.

Shall we go? - But what to jam, record and shoot?

It's a surprise.

But I still need to know the song. - No, let's go.

"Baby, have patience. Everything will be great."

"Welcome to my village, baby. This is Lockdown, baby."

Let's go. - Sure.

I think what I am going to do with this song will absolutely blow you.

I am not nervous. I am really excited.

I am telling you, this will be epic.

I travel a lot.

I don't get to always see such peaceful and serene places.

You can hear the birds chirping.

It's such a nice atmosphere to work on music.

It's one of the best places. Trust me.

Look how calm it is.

I think we should take a selfie. What do you think? - Yes, sure.

Jonita, hi! - Hey.

You really seem to like this place.

I do like it a lot. It's so pretty. How can you not like it?

It's gorgeous.

But I am wandering, what are we going to do here?

I am really like anxious and nervous.

I am just trying to figure out what's going on.

Has Badshah told you about the song yet and

what's going on in his mind?

You know I really thought it was going to be 'Beautiful girl..."
