'Kusu Kusu' review: Nora Fatehi is the only savior here
What's the story
As the release date of Satyameva Jayate 2 is almost here, its makers are dropping songs one by one. After Tenu Lehenga, they released another number recently. Titled Kusu Kusu, the song has been picturized on Nora Fatehi. Performing outstanding online, it's trending at number 3 currently on YouTube Music. You can watch it on the official YouTube Channel of T-Series. Here's our review.
The song
Song too fast, repeated usage of hook line sounds jarring
The music composed by Tanishk Bagchi disappoints this time. And, it seems that lyricists Bagchi and Rashmi Virag have gotten carried away by just the hook line Kusu Kusu of the song. The processed voices of Zahrah S Khan and Dev Negi fail miserably to make an impression. The song is so fast that you will not realize when it ends.
Video
Fatehi executes her belly dancing moves with ease
The 3:28-minute-long clip begins with a clapboard that has "Nora Fatehi in and as Dil Ruba" written. As soon as Fatehi enters the frame, she starts belly dancing Donning a glittering outfit with golden work, the actress performs the steps with ease. You can also see John Abraham in a hoodie in the background. Makers have cleverly used the elements of fire and water.

Observation
Makers have retained 'Dilbar's middle eastern tune here too
It needs to be noted that Fatehi's most popular song to date, Dilbar, was from Satyameva Jayate, the first installment of the Milap Zaveri-directed franchise. The song and music video became blockbusters, helping both Fatehi and Zaveri reach new heights in terms of success. Makers have retained Dilbar's middle eastern tune in Kusu Kusu too, thus creating a sort of recall effect.
Conclusion
The dance number looks like a filler in the movie
Verdict: The song gets 2.5 stars, the video grabs 3 out of 5. Satyameva Jayate 2 arrives in cinema halls on November 25. Abraham will be seen in a triple role for the first time in his career. Salman Khan's Antim: The Final Truth releases a day later and is expected to give stiff competition to this vigilante film as their themes are similar.
