Pawan Singh, often called the Power Star of Bhojpuri cinema, has once again taken the internet by storm with his latest release, Chumma Song. This catchy item number, featuring Singh alongside Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, has quickly gained massive attention. But can it truly surpass the success of Kati Raat Kheton Mein, the chart-topping track from Stree 2? Let’s take a look at how both songs performed in their early days and the potential impact on the Bhojpuri music industry.
Pawan Singh’s ‘Chumma Song’ Breaks Records in Hours
Released on 5th October 2024 on T-Series’ YouTube channel, Chumma Song quickly started trending at the number one spot within just two hours. By the end of its first 24 hours, it had garnered 19 million views, and by 48 hours, the number had skyrocketed to 32 million views. Fans have embraced the song, with over 857,000 likes and more than 131,000 comments in such a short time.
This item number not only showcases Pawan Singh’s rising popularity beyond Bhojpuri audiences but also reflects a growing interest in regional cinema. The catchy beats and lively performance have kept the song trending on YouTube, and it continues to receive millions of views every day.
How Did Stree 2’s ‘Kati Raat Kheton Mein’ Perform?
In comparison, Kati Raat Kheton Mein from Stree 2, released on 1st August 2024, initially trended at number 6 on YouTube with 5 million views in its first 24 hours. The song had reached 18 million views within 48 hours, a remarkable feat but still lower than Chumma Song’s massive 32 million views in the same timeframe. Over time, however, the song has gained long-lasting popularity, with a total of 255 million views as of October 8th, making it one of the biggest hit songs of 2024.
While Kati Raat Kheton Mein continues to trend globally, Pawan Singh’s Chumma Song is proving to be an unexpected success, leading in early views and social media engagement.
What Does This Mean for the Bhojpuri Music Industry?
The immense popularity of Chumma Song marks a significant milestone for Bhojpuri music, which has long struggled to gain mainstream recognition in comparison to other regional music industries like Punjabi and Haryanvi. Pawan Singh’s ability to draw attention from audiences across India suggests that Bhojpuri artists might be entering a new era of success and wider acceptance.
The rapid rise of Chumma Song shows that Bhojpuri music is not just for niche audiences anymore—it has the potential to become a major player in the Indian music industry. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Chumma Song can maintain its momentum and eventually break records set by other Bollywood and regional hits.
