Music Review: Hasee Toh Phasee (Hindi)
Composer(s): Vishal-Shekhar

The customary wedding song in every rom-com, Punjabi Wedding Song is more on the lines of Student of the Year's Radhe with its interspersed English lyrics and is adequately lively, thanks to Sunidhi Chauhan and Benny Dayal's spirited rendition. Shake It Like Shammi's retro rock 'n' roll vibe is well-spruced up with electronic elements, and in Benny Dayal and Vishal Dadlani's flawless vocals, the song is a hoot. The catchy hook of Drama Queen is largely evocative of Pritam's Balam Pichkari (is it the Vishal factor?), but is otherwise pretty run-of-the-mill stuff.
Zehnaseeb, Chinmayi's second collab with the composer duo after Titli, features a fantastic orchestration and is a lilting listen. Equally mellifluous and pleasing to the ears are the melodies Manchala and Ishq Bulaaya. If the soft-rock flavor of the former gets pitch-perfect support from Shafqat Amanat Ali and Nupur Pant, the latter, with its serene arrangements, has Sanam Puri (last heard in Dhat Teri Ki) and Shipra Goyal in top form. Vishal-Shekhar open 2014 on a pleasant note, while sticking very much together to their template.
