Tumhari Sulu Music Review: Impresses In Parts

Get a taste of Tumhari Sulu's music ahead of its much-awaited release

 

The trailer of Tumhari Sulu is making waves everywhere, and it’s now time for its music to join the party. The entire album has been released by T-Series, and it features a total of 5 songs, one among which is, of course, the already famous Hawa Hawai 2.0. A number of artists have come together for the music of this film, so the album cannot be attributed to a just one music director.

The first song from the album is Ban Ja Rani, and it might sound familiar to many as it’s a slightly altered version of Guru Randhawa’s song Tu Meri Rani which came out last year. This one has also been sung by him. The most notable change from the old song is that the new one features some strong beats to accompany the rhythm.

It has a typical Punjabi pop song flavor to it, but it holds up on its own, especially thanks to its catchy melody. Coming to Hawa Hawai 2.0, this one has been remixed by Tanishk Bagchi. It has been given a modern touch and is pretty percussion-heavy. An excellent rap has also been inserted which adds a great flavor to the mix.


The next song in the album is sort of an inspirational number called Manva Likes To Fly. It’s a spectacular composition which deserves lots of praise for its upbeat tunes. Moreover, this song has been sung to perfection by Shalmali Kholgade.

Farrata, the penultimate track from the Tumhari Sulu album, is an attempt at creating a rock song vibe. The set pieces are right, but unfortunately, they don’t add up to give the desired effect. The vocals of Armaan Malik turn out to be its only saving grace.

The final song is called Rafu, and is the highlight of the Tumhari Sulu album. The softly hummed vocals of Ronkini Gupta are accompanied by easy-going guitar strums to create a nightly atmosphere. The expressive lyrics add to the brilliance of this song moreover.


As an entire album, Tumhari Sulu isn’t much of a must-listen. However, the tracks Manva Likes to Fly and Rafu are truly a treat to the ears. And of course, Hawa Hawai 2.0 is also a quite a refreshing take on the yesteryear song.
