Nice article...@CAPTAIN MEDUSA:...new enough, long enough, no image, QPQ done, no copyvio issues. Few questions. The release date in source says 26 March??? The source for the hook is based on Badshah himself saying reached 100 million views. Is there another source? How about a hook with India's lockdown in? Also..Is K. Johar mentioned in article?

@Whispyhistory: Resolved all of the issues mentioned above. Can't think of hook about the lockdown. Why should he be mentioned?~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 13:04, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CAPTAIN MEDUSA:...I thought Johar launched the song...anyway no worry. I thought it was more interesting that it was launched during the lock-down, but no worry about that either. The hook is no longer in the article. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:09, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Whispyhistory: That could work.

ALT1: ~~... that Karan Johar launched "Genda Phool" during the lock-down of India over the coronavirus pandemic?~~~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 13:26, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks...Getting there. I'm trying to get my head around this. Johar is a director but didn't direct this video. The press talk of him launching it and Badshah releasing it. Please clarify in article. Either way something along lines of "Genda Phool was released during India's lock-down over coronavirus" might fit unless anyone else can help here.

Hi, I came by to promote this and first did some editing on it. I removed a huge piece of fluff and now it is under 1500 characters. The article really should be expanded in the Reception section. Yoninah (talk) 15:07, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, Done. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 15:25, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's better. Restoring tick per Whispyhistory's review. Yoninah (talk) 15:28, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Genda Phool (Badshah song) → Genda Phool – The title "Genda Phool" currently redirects to Delhi-6, a film that has a song of the same title. As the song from the film does not have its own article, I think the Badshah song is the clear primary topic.
