Saawariya: Iqlipse Nova And Hiten Drop Indie-Pop Banger Blending Flirtation With Feels
Last Updated:
Iqlipse Nova and Hiten release Saawariya, a playful indie-pop track blending classical charm, modern beats, and a whole lot of nakhras.
In a collaboration that blends the soulful charm of indie storytelling with the pulsating energy of mainstream beats, Iqlipse Nova has joined forces with hitmaker Hiten for their latest track, Saawariya. Featuring powerhouse vocalist Bandana Dutta and co-written by Iqlipse Nova and Aditi Sharma, this fresh new single captures the whimsical chaos of messy modern love — and delivers it with a playful wink.
Known for heartfelt tracks like Savera, Khwab, and Mera Safar, Iqlipse Nova continues his streak of writing his destiny one song at a time. But Saawariya marks a bold sonic shift — an eclectic blend of classical undertones and contemporary pop flair, brought to life by Hiten, the genre-defying beatmaker behind chart-toppers by Badshah, King, Paradox, MC Square and Raftaar. Together, they craft a song that's part retro, part Gen Z flirtation, and all heart.
Built on a quirky narrative of a smitten lover trying to woo a girl full of playful tantrums, Saawariya has the charm of an old-school Bollywood romance wrapped in new-age production. Its rich textures, cheeky lyrics, and infectious groove make it perfect for blasting in your car or slipping into your 2 AM playlist. It's that rare track that hits both your funny bone and your feels.
Speaking about the creative process, Iqlipse Nova says, 'Saawariya is a soulful crossover of two different worlds of music that are often seen as opposites. I've always loved when different sounds come together to create something fresh. With this track, we wanted to make something personal, honest and relatable, something that makes you smile and will make you feel good!"
Hiten echoes that emotion, sharing, 'There's something timeless in the melody of Saawariya. It feels personal as it draws from the kind of music I grew up hearing around me. Creating this track felt like bringing a piece of my childhood back, preserving the nostalgia but giving it a new-age twist without losing the soul. Working with Iqlipse and Bandana was effortless and fun. Saawariya is a celebration of my roots, and I hope the audience will listen to the track on loop."
As Bandana Dutta's expressive vocals glide over Hiten's rich beats and Nova's heartfelt lyrics, Saawariya becomes more than just a song — it's a mood. It's the soundtrack of young love in all its confusing, magnetic glory. Whether you're vibing in traffic, daydreaming out a bus window, or making your next Instagram reel, Saawariya invites you to feel, flirt, and dance through it all.
This is not just a collaboration — it's a collision of two musical worlds coming together to make something bold, beautiful, and deliciously unpredictable. And while nobody saw it coming, Saawariya may just be the collab we didn't know we needed.

Every day on set feels like a gift I want to unwrap slowly, says Hiya Chatterjee
Hiya Chatterjee is set to debut in Rahool Mukherjee's 'Mon Maney Na,' a '90s-inspired love story filmed in North Bengal. Initially hesitant due to college, Hiya embraced the role after her family's encouragement, including her father, Saswata Chatterjee. Working alongside Ritwik, she praises his support and guidance, which helped ease her into her first film. Hiya Chatterjee is about to make her silver screen debut in Rahool Mukherjee 's upcoming love story Mon Maney Na , set in the misty mountains of north Bengal. From turning down her first offer because of college exams to portraying a layered romantic character, she opens up to CT about her journey so far – and the people who've shaped it. All from Kalimpong. 'It was a no-brainer, I just knew I wanted to do the film' When Rahool first offered Hiya a role in Dil Khush , she had to turn it down because of college commitments. But fate circled back. 'Later, when Rahool da called for Mon Maney Na and said, 'There's this character I think will suit you – why don't you come and audition?' I didn't even think twice,' she recalls. 'I absolutely adore love stories, so when I heard this was one, it was a no-brainer,' she says, her voice brimming with excitement. 'Plus, it's a tribute to the '90s romances – which I am a fan of, I knew this was something I wanted to be part of.' Her instincts were validated when her mother (Mohua Chatterjee) accompanied her for the script reading and instantly loved it. 'Mumma said, 'This is so lovely,' and when I told Baba ( Saswata Chatterjee ) the story, he said, 'This is a really good film to be your first.' That approval from both meant the world to me.' Khela shikhte holey, maathe neme khela shikhte hobe' – my father always says that to me 'The role I play in the film is Gen-Z, but she is very different from me' The character Hiya plays isn't much like her, and that's precisely what made her choose the role. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo 'She's a very Gen-Z girl, and very different from who I am in terms of attributes and attitude. But at her core, she's totally Gen Z,' she says with a laugh. This contrast challenged her, especially as the love story revealed its many emotional layers. 'I was nervous at first. Love isn't just one feeling – it has so many shades. I wasn't sure how many of those I could portray,' she says. But a solid team, workshops, and a supportive crew helped her keep calm. 'The first shot was scary in my head, but not in real life. From then on, it's just been getting better.' 'Ritwik doesn't make me feel like this is my first film' Working opposite Bandish Bandits star Ritwik has been a grounding experience. 'From our very first call, he's been incredibly kind and welcoming. He's so brilliant at his craft, but he never made me feel like a newcomer,' she says. She lights up when talking about their camaraderie, and adds, 'We talk about our scenes, and he gives me the space to express myself. He makes me feel like I belong here, like I know what I'm doing — that this isn't my first film.' The same goes for her director and the rest of the crew. 'Rahool da has been the best mentor. He explains everything so patiently to me, even how to face the camera. DoP Madhura (Palit) di is helpful too. Both of them have been my biggest support.' Hiya has been training with acting coach Daminee Benny Basu for two years and considers her as 'Guru Maa'. 'We follow the Eric Morris method.

2,000-year-old Roman mosaic marvels sparkle at Humayun's Tomb Museum
NEW DELHI: In an extraordinary cultural event that bridges centuries and civilizations, five ancient Roman mosaics – each over 2,000 years old – have made their historic debut in India at Delhi's Humayun's Tomb Museum. Titled 'MOSAICO: Italian Code of a Timeless Art,' the exhibition marks the first time these rare treasures from Rome's esteemed Capitoline Museums are being showcased on Indian soil. The exhibition has been open to the public from April 12 to August 30, offering free admission to all. Curated by Magister Art and presented by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy Cultural Centre in Delhi, MOSAICO combines rare ancient artworks with immersive multimedia storytelling. Visitors are guided through seven thematic stations that trace the evolution of mosaic art from ancient times to the present, showcasing celebrated locations such as Pompeii, Aquileia, Ravenna, Palermo, Monreale, Piazza Armerina, and even the sunken city of Baiae. The crown jewels of the exhibition are five original Roman mosaics on loan from the Capitoline Museums – some of which have never left Italy before. These exquisite pieces, rich with historical and artistic significance, offer a tangible connection to the grandeur of the Roman civilization. 'It feels surreal,' said Aditi Sharma, a history student from Delhi University. 'Standing in front of these mosaics is like stepping into a Roman villa. It's humbling to see how art survives empires and still speaks to us.' The innovative fusion of ancient craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology is captivating visitors. 'The projections and ambient sounds made the mosaics come alive. It's not just an exhibition, it's an experience,' said Rahul Verma, a graphic designer. 'You walk through history, guided by light and sound.'
