Pepsi Battle of the Bands warms up for Season 3 with this opening song

Fawad Khan, Meesha Shafi and Strings perform alongside last year's top performers Kashmir and Badnaam in the song

It's Pepsi Battle of the Bands time again!

Season 3 kicks off this Sunday, July 15. And we just got a reminder of the energy and buzz of the popular music competition with its opening song.

The song is a medley featuring last year's winning band Kashmir performing their original track 'Kaghaz Ka Jahaaz' and runner's-up Badnaam sang 'Aaj Kala Jora Pa Sadi Farmaish Pe'. The bands are joined in their performances by judges Fawad Khan and Meesha Shafi respectively.

The song is rounded off with Strings' 2003 World Cup track 'Hai Koi Hum Jaisa'. The segue to the track is awkward, but it makes for a fun watch as Meesha, Fawad and Kashmir join Strings on stage for the number.

For those who don't know, Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood are taking up last season's judges Shahi Hasan and Atif Aslam's spots on the panel.

Never seen such boring and lifeless music. If Pepsi thinks it can market this drink through such shows, it is mistaken. Big names do not necessarily help. Please take it away. I feel like standing in a fish market.

It was not lit. It had been better though with a new song!

There are cat videos on Facebook which are better edited than this.

@Socrates .No comments about boring, or boring (drilling) feelings inside the ears. Just happy Meesha Shafi is back. All the best guys.
