The makers of Raid 2 dropped the first song from the film, titled Nasha, earlier today, and it’s already making waves online. Featuring Tamannaah Bhatia in a glitzy, high-energy avatar, the track is being hailed as a potential chartbuster. But while fans were quick to praise Tamannaah’s oomph and the song's infectious energy, many also couldn't help but draw comparisons to Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2, which also featured Tamannaah.
From the shimmery costume and moody set lighting to the choreography and background dancers, social media users pointed out striking resemblances between the two songs.
Some even claimed that Nasha feels like a remix or rehash of Aaj Ki Raat, with a few netizens sharing side-by-side screenshots to highlight the similarities.
Reacting to the song, a social media user wrote, "Same dance, same moves, same dress style - ab baar baar yeh hi kyun."
Another comment read, "First aaj ki raat now Nasha."
"Looks like Aaj Ki Raat 2.0 .. Disappointeddd," read another comment by an upset fan.
"This looks so much like Aaj Ki Raat... will Tamannaah do only such songs now? kuch toh naya karo," wrote another user in the comments section of Tamannaah's Instagram post.

More about Nasha and Raid 2
Despite the online chatter, Tamannaah’s performance in Nasha is being appreciated for its fierce screen presence and electrifying dance moves. Composed by White Noise Collective, the song boasts thumping beats and a party vibe that could easily make it one of this year's go-to dance numbers.
The vocals by Jasmin Sandlas, Sachet Tandon, and Divya Kumar, paired with Jaani’s punchy lyrics, add to its appeal.
Whether Nasha draws too much inspiration from Stree 2's track or not, one thing is clear - Tamannaah has once again proven she can own the screen with her magnetic charm.
Raid 2 also stars Riteish Deshmukh and Vaani Kapoor among others. Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, the film is slated for a May 1, 2025, theatrical release.
