From the title, you can guess that everything related to this film is going to be unique. With a fresh cast and the quirky vibe, the soundtrack too is creating some buzz. After all, one can’t have the usual melodious mix of songs for a film with an unusual title and plot. The album opens with Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Yeh fugly fugly kya hain, which he has composed, written and sung. The song makes for a smart satire on the going – ons in this country and takes a dig at everything, right from corruption to people littering on the streets. The hook line is extremely catchy and is the main reason why the song grows on you. Raftaar makes a stylish entry with the Haryanvi dance number, Dhup chik, that he has sung, penned and composed. The upbeat music, fast pace and quirky lyrics make this one a winner. Raftaar has sung this number in Haryanvi dialect with great energy. There is nothing new about the composition, but Dhup chik makes for a fun hear.
Banjaarey is a decent experiment, especially since it is not the usual style Singh is well known for. The contemporary, easy going feel of the song is nice and makes for a nice road trip number. On the first hear, it is not easy to recognise Singh’s voice (especially since there is no rap), but during the course of the song, you realise that the artist has done an excellent job in adding an unique freshness to this number. Prashant Vadhyar, Rajiv Sundaresan and Sunaina Sarkar come together for Good in bed, which has disgraceful lyrics. There is nothing about this composition that makes you want to hear it.
The slow and well paced Dhuaan in the voice of Arijit Singh and Pawni Pandey is good. The song explores a youngster’s crisis, who can’t help but look back and think about all that he has lost in the journey so far. The composition is decent with Arijit doing an incredible job behind the mic. The lyrics are a stark contrast to the kind of numbers that you have been hearing in the album so far, as they are more meaningful and easy on the ears. G pe danda tries to be as wacky, but this number crooned by Aman Trikha, Vadhyar and Pandey fails miserably. The techno meets desi melody is not catchy and the lyrics fall flat. The last number in the album is the item song, Lovely jind wali. Sung decently by Santokh Singh, Vadhyar and Pandey, the song is nothing but a rehash of several item numbers we have heard in the past. It’s not the kind of dance number that will make you get up and dance. Hit the skip button! Overall, the Fugly album makes for an average hear, with the title track, Dhup chik and Banjaarey providing some good entertainment.
Dil ki khidki khol

What’s a comic caper without a laugh-a-riot, full of confusion song, right? Composer Himesh Reshammiya has pretty much nailed that department with Dil ki khidki khol. It’s like the return of the 90s as Mika Singh croons lines like ‘jolly hain armaan hamare‘ and ‘dekh ke tumko dil yeh maange more‘, with electronic piano and drum beats dominating the composition. The lyrics penned by Shabbir Ahmed are funny to a certain extent. Palak Mucchal joins Singh behind the mic for the female portions and does a decent job. There is nothing out of the box about this song, but it sounds funny enough when you hear (or rather watch) it along with the video.
