Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Bunty Aur Babli 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Album · Bollywood · 2021
Composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy return for the sequel to 2005 comic caper Bunty Aur Babli—demonstrating how Bollywood music has evolved over the last 15 years and how they’ve kept up with the times. Indipop is the dominant style, with a liberal use of Punjabi lyrics in the Hindi film’s songs. The title track and “Dhik Chik” deftly hearken to the original soundtrack’s sound. Yet what’s common to both is their joie de vivre—an energy guaranteed to make you shake a leg and break into a smile.
