Rehma is 23-year-old Pakistani-American singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles.

[@Umeerrruuuu]

Told you... So many surprises ahead... Once again thank to Shruti for being available for timely reaction ♥️ Gulay means Sweetheart And Zain Pirzada (Director) is the guitarist from Karakoram Band... No outdoor shots... Just green screen

[@Umeerrruuuu]

JoJo the dance is called Attan... Traditional Pashtoon Dance

[@Umeerrruuuu]

@ArmstrongFall no no... Just a Music Enthusiast who listen to all sort of Music... Particularly Pakistani underground music... Watched Zahoor's first song Lafzuna last year bcz I love Curly Ney's work. It's Pashto+English song and with eng subs.. vibes ♥️

[@Ecstaticgoat]

​@@Umeerrruuuuwell it's an attempt to do attan ,let's just say this is a generic verison of attan.

[@mahesh4914]

Can you write in English the Pashto lyric where they sing Sometimes my heart desires(kala me zara ghawarye i guess)

[@shahzadarshad8375]

"the black of my eye" part is actually a common Pashto proverb, used for someone you care for deeply.

[@muhammadsadiq4569]

Well said without having the black of eyes everything will be dark

[@user-fr7bt2zm2j]

U girls have set a benchmark for reviewing a video. I have never seen anyone going scene to scene, lyric to lyric....doing perfect justice to analyse these pieces of art. I adore your enthusiasm. Much love from Karachi ❤

[@mohsinofficial]

I'm from Punjab and lives in Islamabad, but I have visited Peshawar and have many pushton friends, I have to say this Pakistani Pushtons are the most beautiful people inside and out and I just love their culture. Geo Pakhtoon ❤🇵🇰 ❤

[@fahadbarlas4933]

No doubt, they are Pride of our Nation 🇵🇰💚

[@heyahad3057]

Yup you got it right, season 15 is covering different defferent cultures from Pakistan. And in 26:35 There is a tradition in Pashtuns that when they do not have rain, they put coal on their children's faces and ask them to pray. 35:43 A lady containing a tattoo on her face because it is a sign of beauty and was done when girls reached the age of puberty Btw ab hum magical journey dekhenge ❤ sath main

[@khizzerhayat]

Its a tradition in north kids paint their faces with charcoal and knock on doors Everyone gives them treats In hope to rain in the region

[@silentnomad84]

Good info, i see same in some regions of punjab too

[@haleemulhassan9158]

Interestlingly its the same culture in southern punjab as well. Bachay kalak lagayay hain aur phr special ganay gatay hain, and then when it rains, khairaat ki jati hai treats ki by everyone in the muhalla

[@silentnomad84]

True

[@benidial5052]

​@haleemulhassan9158 not just in southern Punjab but also in Central Punjab. We called the guy who would volunteer for putting black ash on his face the Kala Dhoda.

[@syedabatool2813]

Southern Punjab is usually Saraieki belt, most of them are khans as well...almost the same

[@Anonymous-th1sl]

The burning woods are called "Spelani" and its for nazar utarao😊

[@Magsbravo]

Yes i literally just that tonight 😂

[@fahad00015]

Its called 'rue' in English and 'Harmal' in Urdu.

[@silverdelt]

This is by far my most favourite track of this season - its just stunning, subliminal, strangely romantically haunting - Im so happy to see you guys having the same reaction to this gem !

[@farhankermani789]

Agree and the bar has been raised so high with this song.

[@ramsha2000]

There are many different languages, bolis and dialect spoken in Pakistan. But Urdu is the main vehicle of communication among people coming from different linguistic backgrounds.

[@roohiakhtar3343]

Firstly, you both are stunning, and secondly, you both have an incredible attention to detail. I admire the way you explain the song, and both of you understand it so well, even though it's not your native language. Rehma exudes pure passion, and Zahoor is equally passionate! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful reaction! Sending love your way!🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@benidial5052]

Gulay (literally meaning flower but it is used to say sweetheart), 'star gu tu' (you are the black of my eye), and 'daz la ku' (the core of my heart) are commonly used words/phrases to express affection towards a loved one. I wish you knew Pashto to truly understand the sweetness and heart-touching impact of these words in this song.

[@Zey_Aly]

My mother's sir name is Gul gul means flower and family used to call her gulley as her nick name 🤗 this is chaye khana/qehwa Khana you say tea bar its common in our pushtoon culture full day qehwa chalta hai specially after every meal

[@MD04122]

finally someone noticed Ahad Nayani :).. I smilled too, it felt nostalgic, reminding old coke studio

[@SteveBarrettArtStudios]

Hello from San Francisco. I love your excellent in-depth review of this beautiful song, lyrics and visual aesthetic.

[@AmmarZaidi-825]

The song coordinator Hidayat Marwat is from this region in kpk called Laki Marwat. So even though the visuals are displaying Pashtun culture, the song is exclusively representing Laki Marwat in particular

[@ArMinhas666]

I just wanted to say that I always wait for your reactions because both of you give the most analytical and thoughtful reactions. Both of you are so genuine and passionate about the music and it comes through. Thank you! 🙂

[@AH2984]

i find myself waiting for your reaction more anxiously than the CS song itself, and the wait between release of the song and your reaction video is agonizing!

[@sabeelaalexander4745]

Lol, same here.

[@waqarahmadqureshi]

Same here

[@umarghani6109]

Understanding every urge, but they've a life too after all. Give them some slack with patience 😌

[@faridjan1810]

@Jyoti & @Shruthi thanks for covering pushto too! & Also Harkalay to Peshawar 🎉

[@Umeerrruuuu]

JoJo... The dance is called Attan Dance... Traditional pashtoon dance...

[@zubairshah3141]

The transition between languages was like 2 rivers meeting and becoming 1 effortlessly

[@joseph60880]

for me it gave me the vibes of "The Kite Runner" especially child looking up into the sky, emotionally connecting to every phrase.

[@talhaaa_7]

That was not a Folk Dance.. that was “Attan”. Signature dance of Pashtoons ❤️ Famous in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

[@gadgetsnation6118]

Attan is s folk dance.

[@alij2663]

Loved the frame by frame discussions. Props to your efforts, Jo and Shrutz !!👏🏻

[@ytnejibr]

Xulfi & team have unleashed a powerful force in CS-15 that is connecting people around this polarised world on a basic human level. This production as a whole is transcending language barriers, breaking down social divisions, and fostering understanding and empathy. You guys are playing an equally important part by stimulating people around the world to embrace the diversity of music and to connect with others through this universal language. Believe me, you are forging meaningful connections, bridging gaps, and doing an amazing job in creating a more harmonious world. 🙏🏽 ❤🖖🏽

[@aeymed]

These tattoos on women's face are considered as beauty standards. I'm Pashtun from Balochistan and my mother has em on her forehead, checks, chin and hands. Its so common here in Pashtuns of Balochistan and Afghanistan, may be there in KP too. And the women standing wearing are Afghan/Pashtun clothes made by hands

[@hk19478]

I think the little room behind the curtain where Rehma is first standing is a perfume/incense shop. You can see flowers painted on the wall and dried plants hanging from the ceiling. There's also a lady there who probably owns the shop. Loved the reaction, btw, and the attention to every little detail. Throughout this song, I had a feeling that I was in this little world with all of those people. I didn't want to leave. PS..if you guys are going to make watching every song twice and posting hour-long reviews a CS tradition, then I'm not complaining🎉

[@ikramaurangzeb4052]

"Kala me zraa ghwaarii is pashto means when my hearts want" The female singer is pakistani origin Rehma, her grandmother sang for radio pakistan and she is LA based r&b singer, and also sang a collab ladke with indian origin singer shreaya...

[@SaadFardoos]

Who's her mother?

[@omerthe3rd1]

Two of my most favorite ladies when it comes to reaction in particular and my most favorite song from the season !! Wow !! This couldn't be any better .. think you ladies for your reaction

[@ovnm]

Sometimes its necessary to watch your reaction to a particular song in order to understand that song. Thank you very much for your reaction. Love and Respect from Pakistan.

[@muhammadsohail6838]

Shruti and jyoti coke studio ki waja se main aap dono ka fan ban chuka hun. Aap k review se mujhe boht kuch new seekhne ko milta he just like ap ek cheez ko kayi doosre angles se dekh sakte ho. Ap dono k liye boht sari best wishes aur 1 request bhi he k please aap dono 1 baar pakistan visit krne k liye try zaroor krna.....i know its really difficult....but choti c khwahish he meri k aap dono ko coke studio ki team se baaten krta hua dekhun. Shayad ye mera sapna kabhi poora ho paye, kyun k main bhi jyoti ki tarha boht zyada emotional hun. Boht sara pyar ap dono k liye ❤❤❤❤

[@mhamzachohan]

Once again what an extraordinary review by both of You. ❤ Thanks t you guys, even I had listened the song, watched the video once and I left it for second time to listen with you guys, still missed so many things. Then I needed your frame to frame review on video, music n lyrics. That's great experience really. ❤ This song is wonderful. They have shown number of Pashtoon cultural things in one video. Waiting for rain, kids pasting black color on face is a myth in Pashtoo for rain. Stones, jewls, tea, dresses, perfumes, cultural music n dance etc. Everything is wonderful. They have portrayed culture so well. Hats off to Hidayat (the cultural correspondence)

[@sabeelaalexander4745]

Loveddd your reaction!!! ❤️ (The introductory shorts were green screen)

[@sagheerb224]

Thanks for yet another beautiful and thorough reaction. You girls are doing justice to such beautiful art. CS is putting so much effort into their videos and yes! we do need reaction like these. On the other hand, this song makes you fall in love with everything shown here, the set, the characters, the music, their vocal, every shot and story behind those shots. WOAH!!! and in the end, it makes you fall in love with that beautiful region in Pakistan.

[@SteveWhy2022]

You guys are simply amazing!! I really appreciate you guys looking into the little things that make this song such a magical experience. Amazing review!!! Kudus to you guys.

[@vardabilal1199]

As always the way you both break things down.. no one does it the same. You validate the thoughts and questions in our minds and I am sitting here going aha someone else picked that! ❤

[@Ayla-xu4nf]

So glad you guys finally reacted!! I was waiting for thisss. Love you ladies from 🇵🇰💗

[@fayee82]

The dance at the end in a group ring called “Jhoomer” it’s called “Jhoomer Daalna” . The way they were together in a ring dancing. 🎉

[@omahaanimals6047]

Zalimuoooo, i waited to long for your reaction ,,,🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@rajaalizahid3061]

The reaction I wait for all the time. Thank you gals!

[@mehdisajjad4179]

Broadly classifying there are 77 languages spoken in Pakistan and punjabi itself has more than 16 different dialects very distinct from one another in contrast to indian punjab where only 3 dialects of punjabi are spoken

[@aeymed]

Yes thats true. Pakistan has so many languages and that too have so many dialects. I'm Pashtun from Balochistan and I was struggling with the song cuz I didnt get all the words. Pashto has more than 25 dialects

[@MrLeeJunFan1]

Wow,,, you both drilled into this song so well. Keep up with the great work 👏

[@AwesomeIam]

Master piece…. Female vocalist was just amazing

[@zafarooqi]

To my sweetest sisters! CS is incomplete without your reaction. This is as simple as this. This season every CS track has me blown away and every reaction of yours on CS tracks has me speechless. WOW just WOW how beautifully and poetically you express our sentiments. FANTABULOUS ! Had been waiting badly for your reaction and the wait was worth it.

[@cucomana]

Zahoor and Rehma actually shocked us. What amazing vocals ❤❤❤

[@ahsanulhaq8365]

I was waiting for your reaction and here it is...❤

[@zubairshah3141]

The little girl in the beginning with black color on her face n doing the same to an elder is a way to such charms and have such children running around in the streets praying for rain

[@shayanmehar]

16:46 us Shruti us Felt the same after listening this song a couple of times

[@faizan-maher.]

Waiting your reaction thanks for dropping😊 Love from Pakistan❤

[@walizahra]

Jyoti and Shruti, your appreciation for music is truly mesmerising! Your deep passion and acute music sense shine through every time you react to a song. It's like witnessing a beautiful fusion of voices, just like 'Harkalay'! Xulfi's masterpiece has indeed created a magical amalgamation of voices and melodies, much like how your thoughts and feelings blend seamlessly when you share your love for music. Thank you both for enriching our musical journey with your genuine reactions. Cheers to Coke Studio and to you both!

[@sfbasir]

Listening to the Coke studio songs for the first time when they release, is something I look forward to and love each of the tracks. I can't explain why but your reaction videos literally have a multifold effect on my loving the song. Please keep it up. Someone did comment on Jyotis crying which was mentioned in one of the earlier reactions, for me those tears are overwhelming overflow of appreciation of the song and I resonate with it as each and every song really spurs up different emotions every single time.

[@manzoorfaraz7006]

What a great song, video scenes and voices of the singers, and the amazing music, great claps to the whole team specially the great legend Zulfi sahb.. i really astonished to Rehma voice so so sweet, wow..😍❤️😘😘 you both are so great ladies i always see the tracks with you really, i am also Pashtoon.. Mams be happy so much pray and love from my side Faraz khan from Pakistan. 👌💥🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kamransani2925]

The dance they were doing in an improvised manner is called "Jhoomar", its a dance the Pakhtoons do to celebrate. Its done slowly and rhythmically. Both men and women do "Jhoomar" mostly on weddings

[@nashmiahashmi5965]

I was eagerly waiting for your reaction to Harkalay. Your analysis of the song is excellent, and you guys are truly amazing🥰😍 Zahoor and Rehma performed brilliantly. 🤟👆 Bravo to the entire team 💜💜

[@MrFuadalamkhan]

I find myself waiting for yalls review :-)

[@moodwithfood5]

[@maniali9750]

Great attention to detail guys, awesome reaction 👌

[@imranhussain-cr8oq]

I have to admit and truly speaking ,you guys have the best and genuine reactions amongst all others. All the best to you. Song is surely one of the best of 2024...

[@Sajjad_Khan112]

That's Why I Waited For This Pure And Genuine Reaction❤❤❤

Coke studio deserves Jyoti and Shruti both..thx a million for reacting 🇵🇰Coke studio together, a HUGE fan of both of you❤

[@faisalghayas6936]

GULAY! WHY DID YOU THIS TO ME? ❤ TALENT! TALENT! TALENT! wow, Xulfi and co. are bringing out GEMS one after another to the world stage. I agree with you gals this is a short movie that just captivates you in minutes and leaves you hanging in there for hours in shock and awe. Zahoor and Rehma's vocals complimented each other so well, when Rehma started singing I initially thought she was singing in Pashto, but then I realized that it was English. COKE STUDIO PAKISTAN is surely on 🔥🔥🔥 this time around, music lovers around the world will remember and revisit this season again and again for years to come. As always, great reaction ladies, loved every bit of it. Keep it up, see you gals in the next one, take care, CHEERS!

[@eyesofsnowleopard9554]

Waited for your review

[@Sajjad_Khan112]

I was Eagerly Waiting For Your Reaction On Harkalay Song❤❤❤

[@samirah.rafaqat]

You ladies need to come down to Pakistan and explore the different cities, food and culture! You’ll definitely love the diversity!

[@thebrummieyorky]

Great reactions great tune.

[@customketokitchen]

finally the Reaction everyone was waiting for❤

[@dreamers_space]

Yes you guys got it right..Pashto sounds similar to English language...i had pushto friend who used to speak English so well effortlessly and our teacher used to tell us she do that effortlessly because of her mother tongue!! Whenever pashto people speak fluent English they automatically sounds like natives

[@aeymed]

Thats so true. I'm Pashtun and everyone in my class used to tell me how good and natural I'm with English 😀

[@weedmorningstar4570]

Thankyouuu for dropping the reaction 💖 Been waiting eagerly.

[@sabahmuhammad4886]

you are spot on at 30:05. amazing how you caught on. zulfi explained that the video is about welcoming nature of the pashtuns.

[@hilalmanzoor6469]

As usual i was waiting for your reaction ☹️

[@ghazanfarsheikh5153]

Honestly, this song before watching it on Coke Studio Pakistan page, I actually came and listened to the song here to see your reactions.

[@haseebkhan4454]

Beautil bts and your reaction is really block buster. We all like and love it. Explained everything in a beautiful way.

[@farhankermani789]

Totally addicted to this wonder of thr song world.

Best reaction on the whole KZbin. ❤

[@meghnarawat3820]

Really love your reviews! Would like to see one on Sonechadi by CokeStudioBharat

[@smokeyoursoul]

The only reaction video I waited for.

[@hamayoonsultan6547]

It's interesting you note the merging of the languages/choice of words, because I had also thought about how "soulmate" - when pronounced a certain way - sounded so close to "gulay", hence why they probably deliberately chose this over options but which would have jarred.

[@farahwamiq1062]

Thanks for the genuine n detailed review ❤❤❤❤ .I m Urdu speaking n I myself don't understand pashto but I love the music ,composition, picturization of the song Lots of respect n love From:- Farah wamiq 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

[@mentalsardar]

Love to see your reaction, love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ♥️ 🇮🇳

[@naanigirls8202]

The feel is like mehram revisited , this time bubbling with happiness

[@sfbasir]

Another observation - when she sings 'If I run away, will you let me stay?' they have vocalised 'Harkalay' in the background which means Welcome.

[@Umeerrruuuu]

Haider Ali... Playing Tumbi in Maghron La, He usually do the strings. Pasoori etc
