Sneha Khanwalkar is giving “Puranpoli” a second life. The track, first heard in Vikramaditya Motwane’s segment of Lust Stories 3, gets a standalone music video on October 28, timed to land as Diwali celebrations pick up.
The video assembles an unexpected on-screen group: Vijay Varma, Vikramaditya Motwane, Kratex, Ganesh Chandanshive and Khanwalkar herself. That is a deliberate mix of actor, filmmaker and musicians, and it sets the tone—this is a festive invitation, not a conventional film promotion.
What the release includes
The song is named after the Maharashtrian sweet flatbread that turns up in festive kitchens across India, connecting the music to a wider cultural moment. Sonically, the pitch is high-energy and celebratory, with the standalone video designed to help the track travel beyond its original story.
- Release date: October 28
- Origin: Vikramaditya Motwane’s Lust Stories 3 segment
- Featured names: Vijay Varma, Vikramaditya Motwane, Kratex, Ganesh Chandanshive, Sneha Khanwalkar
- Mood: playful, high-energy and festive
Why a standalone video makes sense
Film songs often stay locked inside a scene, heard only by those who watch the film. A separate music video gives a track a wider release window and a direct route to playlist culture. For an anthology, that is especially useful: a segment’s music can now reach listeners who may not sit down for the full feature.
Khanwalkar described the track as having a “very playful and infectious energy”, and said the Diwali window felt like “the perfect time to take it beyond the film”. It is positioning the song as festive repertoire first, with the film as its origin point.
What fans can do
Watch the video when it arrives on October 28. If the track works for you, it is an easy add to a Diwali playlist—especially for listeners who enjoy Hindi film music that borrows from different influences without losing its fun. Fans of Motwane’s segment also get a fresh look at a song they may have only heard in context.
The move is small but well-timed: an existing song, a festive hook, and a cast that makes the video feel like a celebration rather than a marketing afterthought.
