Himesh Reshammiya Composes His First-Ever Garba Song — “Jai Ambe Bol” Is Out
Shreya Ghoshal joins him on vocals for a high-energy Navratri anthem from Sooraj Barjatya’s Yeh Prem Mol Liya, out just ahead of the festive season.
Nine days after launching its soulful title track live at Mumbai’s Royal Opera House, Yeh Prem Mol Liya is back with something entirely different in tone. Himesh Reshammiya has released Jai Ambe Bol, a high-energy Garba and Dandiya number — and a genuine first for the composer, who has never written a Garba track in his career until now.
The song arrives timed almost perfectly: Navratri 2026 begins on October 11, and Jai Ambe Bol is positioned to be this year’s go-to festive anthem, landing in theatres, on playlists, and — the makers are clearly hoping — on dance floors across Gujarat and beyond.
A Milestone, Even for a Career This Long
Himesh Reshammiya has composed across nearly every mood Bollywood music asks for — romantic ballads, item numbers, rock anthems — but a dedicated Garba composition had never been part of that catalogue. Jai Ambe Bol changes that, with Reshammiya himself taking co-vocal duties alongside Shreya Ghoshal.
The Garba Anthem you’ve been waiting for is here. — FROM THE OFFICIAL SONG LAUNCH
In the film, the song accompanies the marriage of Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari’s characters, woven through family gatherings and wedding rituals — giving the celebration sequence a devotional undertone, with the pair shown offering prayers to Ambe Maa amid the festivities.
Two Songs, Two Completely Different Moods
The contrast is deliberate. Where the title track established the film’s emotional register, Jai Ambe Bol exists to do something more immediate: give audiences a festive-season single they can dance to before they’ve even bought a movie ticket.
Another Barjatya-Reshammiya Collaboration
This marks the second time Himesh Reshammiya has scored a Sooraj R. Barjatya film, following their work together on Prem Ratan Dhan Payo in 2015. That partnership leaned heavily on classic Rajshri sensibilities — warm, family-centric music built around big emotional set pieces — and Jai Ambe Bol suggests the same instinct, just redirected toward a festival crowd.
Timed for the Season
With Navratri starting October 11 and Yeh Prem Mol Liya still building its music campaign ahead of release, Jai Ambe Bol gives the film a direct line into the festive calendar — the kind of seasonal placement that can turn a film song into something people are already dancing to at garba nights long before the movie itself arrives.
