A birthday song with their name in it

This year, play them their own song instead of "Happy birthday to you". Dhunzo makes a personalised birthday song with their name in it, for your sister, brother, Maa, Papa, wife or best friend: you write three short things, approve the lyrics, and we sing two versions (A and B) in Hindi, Hinglish or English. Price: ₹199 including GST (launch offer for the first 1,000 customers; then ₹399).

Send the premiere ticket at midnight: the link opens on a curtain and the song plays with its lyrics. After the cake, share it in the family group too.

What to write: five questions

These are the five questions you answer when you order. The first three are needed, the last two optional. One idea for each:

  1. 1 · Who is Tanvi to you?needed

    For example: Tanvi, my little sister, who is now more sensible than me.

  2. 2 · A moment only you two shareneeded

    For example: Sneaking a cake into her hostel at midnight, and the warden waking up.

  3. 3 · What makes Tanvi so Tanvi?needed

    For example: She remembers every birthday in the family, except her own.

  4. 4 · What have you never said out loud?optional

    For example: When you left for Pune the house went quiet, and I never told you.

  5. 5 · Your wish for themoptional

    For example: May the new job come through this year, and may we spend the next birthday together.

For a better song

  • Spell the name carefully, and add what you call them (Tanu, Didi, Bittu); that’s what the song will use.
  • Pick "Birthday" as the occasion. A big one, like an 18th or Papa’s 60th? Write it in your answers so the lyrics can include it.
  • For a midnight surprise, order two days early so the premiere ticket is ready in time.

Sample song: "Half a Maggi"

Dhunzo’s sample song, for a Didi, on Bhai Dooj. Lyrics arrive on a lyric card like this, with the name highlighted. Your song will be built from what you write.

Lyrics, English versionHalf a Maggi

Verse

Priya Didi, remember Nani’s rooftop,

Two in the morning, one bowl of Maggi.

Half for you and half you gave to me,

“Shh! Don’t you dare tell Mummy.”

Chorus

Oh Didi, my Didi,

You’re the scolding and you’re the shield.

Bhai Dooj teeka or our everyday fights,

Without you this house isn’t home.

Questions

How much does a birthday song cost?

₹199 for your first song, for the first 1,000 customers. Then ₹399. GST is included in both.

Paying from outside India? $2.99 at launch, then $4.99.

How long does a song take?

Lyrics usually arrive within minutes, and recording starts as soon as you approve.

Still, order two days ahead: we guarantee lyrics within 24 hours and a recording within 24 hours of approval. If we miss either, you get a full refund automatically.

Will the song really have their name in it?

Yes. The lyrics use their name or what you call them, and the name is highlighted on the lyric card. Before you approve, you can fix the spelling and change any line.

Can I get a happy birthday song with their name in Hindi?

Yes. Choose the song language when you order: right now Hindi, Hinglish, English. In Hindi the whole song is in Hindi; Hinglish mixes Hindi and English words the way we speak.

Can I make one for my best friend?

Yes. Pick "Best friend" as the rishta. Hostel nights, the canteen tab, the last bench: write what only the two of you know.

Is it made with AI?

Yes. Dhunzo writes and sings songs with the help of AI, and every gift page clearly says “Made with AI”.

If lyrics run late, one of our songwriters finishes them by hand. We never imitate a singer’s voice or copy a film song.

Who is it for?

Three minutes to write about them, a few minutes to the lyrics.
