Runner’s up of Pepsi’s Battle of the Bands Season 2, popular metal band Badnaam, has released their official music video for their song ‘Aik Nuktay‘ on Monday.

Infusing the Sufi-metal music – which was Badnaam’s signature during the show – with the words of Bulleh Shah, ‘Aik Nuktay‘ is a brilliant exploration of the redundancy of life. The music video captures the plight of those who create a superficial world forgetting the realities of being one with the soul.

However, what makes it even more powerful than the video and its production design, is its resonance with the words of the legendary Sufi saint, which works deeper in the video than just creating a semblance.

Check out Badnaam’s music video here and tell us what you think:
