The six‑singer track composed by Himesh Reshammiya in 2001 remains the most played Diwali anthem today. The song, titled “Aayi Hai Diwali Suno Ji Gharwali”, was created for the film *Aamdani Atthanni Kharcha Rupaiya*. Himesh Reshammiya provided the music while Sudhakar Sharma wrote the lyrics. Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu, Shaan, Ketaki Dave and Sneha Pant lent their voices, making the song a vocal super‑hit. Govinda performed the dance sequence, sharing the screen with Juhi Chauvala, Tabu, Isha Koppikar, Chandrachur Singh, Ketaki Dave and Johnny Lever in the movie.

YouTube counts show the track has crossed 47 million views, proving its lasting appeal at Diwali parties across the country.
