Music review: Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi

Album:

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi

Genre: Bollywood
The Mudassar Aziz directorial, 'Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi', stars Sonakshi Sinha, Diana Penty, Jimmy Sheirgill, Jassie Gill and Piyush Mishra. The director has penned the tracks that have been composed by Sohail Sen.

The first, 'Swag Saha Nahi Jaye' is a complete mood-setter. Sohail, Shadab Faridi and Neha Bhasin do a fab job of rendering this foot-tapping Punjabi party number that will be a hit at weddings in the coming season. OP Nayyar’s 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu' from the 1958 classic, '

Howrah Bridge

', has been recreated by Sohail.

He has given a prominent Punjabi vibe to the

Geeta Dutt

original, with the deft use of dhol and tabla, all the while retaining the theme in mandolin. This three-minute track, rendered by Jassie Gill and Sonakshi (her first song was 'Let’s Celebrate' for 'Tevar'; 2014), has a rap portion by Mudassar, who has also written the number. 'Chin Chin Chu', just like the earlier track, is a complete dance number.

The title track begins with a fab mouth percussion by Sohail followed by Harshdeep Kaur’s hookline 'O Happy'. And then

Daler Mehndi

scores with his perfect rendition. There is a beautiful instrumental portion between the mukhda and antara that is reminiscent of SD Burman’s music. The 'Happy Bhag Jayegi Title Track' will pull you to the floors from the word go.
