About this ringtone
"Kajra Re" is one of the standout songs from Bunty Aur Babli (2005), the Hindi film soundtrack composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy with lyrics by Gulzar. Sung by Alisha Chinai, this track condenses one of the soundtrack's most memorable hooks into a thirty-second ringtone-ready cut. The arrangement leaves room for the vocal to dominate, which is exactly what makes the song work as a phone ringtone — instantly recognisable in the first three seconds.
Whether you set "Kajra Re" as your default ringtone, your alarm tone, or a custom ringtone for a specific contact, the file is a clean MP3 cut you can install on Android in three taps or convert to .m4r for iPhone. The ringtone preserves the most-loved phrase of the original song — usually the chorus or the high vocal moment — and trims away the long instrumental intro that would otherwise eat into the limited ringtone duration most phones allow.

About the song
Bunty Aur Babli released in 2005, and "Kajra Re" became one of its most-talked-about tracks. Sung in Alisha Chinai's signature style over Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's composition, with lyrics by Gulzar, the song sits squarely in the Item tradition while bringing its own melodic identity. The thirty-second cut we've made into a ringtone captures the most recognisable moment of the song — the part you hum without thinking.
Whether you set it as your default ringtone, as a custom tone for a specific contact, or as the alarm that wakes you up in the morning, this MP3 file is small enough to load instantly and high-quality enough to sound clean through your phone's speaker. The file weighs roughly 608 KB at 128 kbps and plays natively in every browser, every Android dialer and — after the M4R conversion — every iPhone Sounds menu.
