The countdown to Holi on March 4 has Bhojpuri fans ecstatic, and Manoj Tiwari’s timely release of ‘Holriya’ on Mridul Music YouTube is the spark they needed. The actor-singer-MP dropped this festive banger Friday, priming the nation for rang-ghulam festivities filled with sweets, dances, and unbreakable bonds.
Starring alongside Prachi Tehlan, the athlete-actress, Tiwari slips into devar role opposite her bhabhi, delivering moves and melodies that resonate deeply. Fan frenzy is evident as views pour in swiftly.
Its secret sauce? Witty lyrical cameos featuring PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Lalu Yadav, Pawan Singh, Ravi Kishan, Nirahua, Tej Pratap, Tejashwi Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav, Rekha Gupta—bridging politics, cinema, and culture in one infectious tune.

This Holi, Bhojpuri shines bright with rivals like ‘Holi Pe Chale Goli’ by Akshara Singh-Varun Sharma, ‘Awadh Mein Holi’ from Nirahua-Amrapali, ‘Satrangi Salwarwa’ by Pawan-Mahima, and Khesari Lal-Shilpi Raj’s ‘Holi Paral Par 4 Ke’. ‘Holriya’ stands tall, inviting all to lose themselves in the rhythm of joy.
