Renuka Vyavahare (BOMBAY TIMES; April 24, 2019)

Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria — the lead trio of Punit Malhotra’s Student Of The Year 2 (SOTY2) — are back in a desi avatar. The youngsters will be seen in a cool new sangeet song, titled Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiya, which launches today.

Punit told BT, “The previous film had Dafli Waley, we have Yeh Jawaani. They had Radha Teri Chunri, we have Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiya. Of course, the music of the films are in tune with their respective stories, but this song is in that space. It’s a young sangeet number. Tiger is a great dancer, and he gives every performance his all. So, we had to up the ante as far as the dance is concerned.”

The pressure of recreating the magic is immense, admits the director. “The songs of the original film really worked. So, yes, the pressure to recreate that magic is there. But we had so much fun shooting this film, and I feel that it shows and translates on screen,” he added.
