After the recreation of the romantic ballad Sanu Ik Pal, the makers of 'Raid' have now recreated another chart-topping melody of late Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Titled Nit Khair Manga, the track has been recreated in parts by lyricist Manoj Muntashir and sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's singer-nephew, Rahat. The song offers a glimpse into the onscreen couple's life and the love, care and warmth they share in the film.
Ajay Devgn took to his social media to share the song and also mentioned that this Nit Khair Manga is his favourite track from Raid.

The song is shot across Lucknow including landmark locations such as Hussainabad Clock Tower, Rumi Darwaza, Bada Imambada, Kudiya Ghat and Residency.
Composer Tanishk Bagchi, who has recreated the song, said, "When you hear it, you'll understand that not just the hook line, the entire song is new. But I also wanted to retain the original's essence. The good part about Rahat sir's singing is that he understands the feel of a song which always helps. Nit Khair is a powerful romantic number."
