Momina Muhstehsan and Bilal Saeed just released a Punjabi single Baari.
The official music video already has around 1.5 million views and counting on YouTube.
The video features Momina and Bilal as lovers who are beginning a flirtation or relationship. The video begins with Bilal waiting for Momina. He has tea with a friend in a typical old Lahore gulley at Chaaye Paani when Momina walks by with her friends.
The song is about opening the doorways to their relationship even as obstacles, or high walls, separate them. The video features old Lahore buildings, rooftops, pigeons and Momina’s quintessential red locks.

Bilal Saeed did most of the heavy lifting for the Baari video. He wrote, directed and composed it and also co-produced it with One Two Records.
