Directed by Abhishek Varman and choreographed by Remo D'Souza, the song is a masterclass in large-scale Bollywood production.

Upon its release, "First Class" became a chart-topping hit, praised for its "hook step" and festive vibe. Within the context of Kalank , a film often criticized for its slow pacing, the song provides a necessary burst of adrenaline and serves as one of the most memorable highlights of Varun Dhawan’s career in the "masala" genre.

Featuring over 500 dancers, the set piece recreates a bustling, festive street in pre-partition Lahore.
