Malaika Arora's 'Poison Baby' Drops; Fans Say She Outshined Rashmika Mandanna in 'Thamma'

Remember when a dance number could just take over the internet? Well, it’s happening again. Malaika Arora is back with a special song, and honestly, everyone is talking about it.

Her new track is called “Poison Baby,” and it’s from the upcoming horror-comedy film ‘Thamma.’ The song, which also features Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana, dropped on October 15, 2025, and it’s already climbing the music charts like crazy. It’s a full-blown dance performance, the kind Malaika hasn’t led in years.

So, Who Stole the Show?

Here’s the thing people can’t stop pointing out online. Many fans and viewers are saying Malaika completely “outshined” Rashmika Mandanna in the video. The internet is buzzing with comments about how Malaika just steals the spotlight whenever she’s on screen.

Malaika herself described the experience as “electric.” She wanted the performance to feel “dangerous, beautiful, and untamed,” and it looks like she nailed it. The song is sung by Jasmine Sandlas, Sachin-Jigar, and Divya Kumar, creating a really powerful vibe.

But Her Biggest Critic is at Home

You’d think she’d be soaking in all the praise, right? But Malaika revealed her toughest critic is actually her son, Arhaan Khan. She laughingly shared this during the song launch in Mumbai.

She said Arhaan is a “fabulous dancer” who got her “dancing genes,” but he’s also the first one to give her candid feedback. He’ll watch her moves and tell her straight up what he thinks. It’s a funny, relatable peek behind the curtain of stardom.

The film ‘Thamma,’ directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Maddock Films, is set to hit theaters on October 21, 2025, right around Diwali. So you’ll get to see the full performance on the big screen very soon.
