Within no time of dropping the first song digitally, it has garnered a viewership of over 16,000 and counting. The song itself takes the listener to their childhood when Mela or fair was a rare excitement to look forward to. The lyrics penned by Anirban Bhattacharya hints towards the excitement of visiting a fair. The entire vocals and instrumental arrangements give the song a very rustic and ruralistic tone which only enhances the song and keeps up with the primary essence. It takes the viewers on a nostalgic trip describing the fair with its makeshift shops selling various items and food along with a mandatory stage for entertaining the visitors through song and dance; of course with a mention of ultra-large swings and roller-coasters.

With every mood, the composition changes along with the ambiance, thus making it a very good watch. With its catchy musical rhythm, true to life instances and relatability, Melar Gaan is a gem to listen to.

I realised it wasn’t just music—it carried a deeper philosophy, something raw and powerful. But none of this would have been possible without SVF Music and Anirban Bhattacharya. Their vision, passion, and unwavering support turned this idea into reality, giving Hooligaanism its first-ever music video, Melar Gaan. "
