Today's video is Akh Lad Jaave from the new Bollywood film Loveyatri. It's about Sushrut (played by Aayush Sharma) who is planning to become a Garba (Indian dance) teacher, and falls in love with NRI (Non resident Indian) college student Michelle (Warina Hussain) who is visiting India from the UK. They meet at the festival of Navaratri/Navratri, which takes place during 9 days in September and October. After Michelle returns home Sushrut plans to go to London to see her again.
Directed by Bollywood star Salman Khan, the movie's original title was "Loveratri" but it was changed after there was controversy over the title due to it sounding similar to Navratri. Its full title is Loveyatri: Journey of Love and I've seen the English titles "Love Travellers" and "Love Will Take Over" online.
Loveyatri was released on 5th October. The playback singers for Akh Lad Jaave are Asees Kaur, Jubin Nautiyal and rapper Badshah.
Navaratri celebrates the Goddess Durga and other goddesses including Lakshmi and Saraswati. Navaratri (also spelt Navarathi) means "Nine Nights" in Sanskrit. I hadn't heard of it before, but I have heard of its other name Durga Puja. Read more about the festival at these links:

Interesting info: Lead actor Aayush is married to director Salman's sister Arpita Khan. Both he and lead actress Warina are making their debut in Bollywood films, although Warina has previously starred in TV ads.
