Sneha Shetty Kohli's directorial manages to keep audience engaged
Directed by Sneha Shetty Kohli, the visuals of this offbeat modern song manage to keep the audience engaged until the end. Ever since its release yesterday, the song has garnered a stunning more than 20 lakh views. Overall, the melodious voice of the sisters and the acting skills of the Nigam brothers balance the song and magically hide its flaws.
Conclusion
Visuals rescue the song from its cheap catchphrases
The song is soothing to the ears, but its lyrics, which emphasize millennials' love affairs, sound pretty normal and at times cheap. A catchphrase like Majnu ban ke ghum raha hain sounds noisy and yet the song manages to pull off because of its captivating visuals and the dance performances of the actors. Verdict: Song (3 stars) and lyrical video (3.5 stars).
