The Ginny Weds Sunny soundtrack is a lot like Mithoon’s album for Khuda Haafiz, which was released in August. The composers are neither breaking new ground nor embarrassing themselves while trying to pull off something as basic as a Hindi rom-com album with a smattering of Punjabi.
Directed by Puneet Khanna, the movie stars Yami Gautam and Vikrant Massey. Singer Payal Dev is credited with composing three songs. Two of these are older hits reworked, which are such fun that you wish Tanishk Bagchi would retire.
LOL is the name of the wedding song inspired by the Punjabi folk tune Jind Maahi, which gave us Teri Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (Suhaag, 1979) and Paape Pyaar Karke (Pyaar Ke Side Effects, 2006). LOL is a fine study in how to let a tune do the talking and calm down on the production. But that feat needs good tunes in the first place.
Payal Dev…
