Good on Bilal Saeed for finally getting recognised for his amazing vocal talent the way he deserves. The Pakistani pop star has sung a song Khair Mangdi for a K-Jo (Karan Johar) film, Baar Baar Dekho starring Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra.

The track is already a hit among audiophiles and even K-Jo has tweeted saying that it is his favourite song from the movie. Cool, isn’t it? The film, by the way, is going to see the light of day on Sept 9. Here’s hoping that Baar Baar Dekho does well at the box office and does not have to resort to the khair mangdi option.
