Popular Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa is currently receiving widespread criticism across social media platforms following the release of his new track titled Fine Shyt. The song, which features vocals by Guru Randhawa alongside Yashvi Desai, was launched with much anticipation, but it quickly became a target of heavy trolling and negative reviews from music lovers. Set inside a corporate office environment, the music video portrays the singer playing a senior professional while several female colleagues dance around him in a high-energy routine. Despite featuring well-known content creators and digital personalities like Ruhee Dosani, Divinity Bisht, Arshia Sinha, Raema Grover, Darlene Laura, and Mehar Kaur, the track has failed to impress audiences.
Listeners and internet users have taken to social media platforms to express their disappointment with the song’s composition, lyrics, and overall execution. Many listeners described the track as straight-up noise pollution and questioned the repetitive phrasing used throughout the composition. Social media comments poured in with brutal reactions, with one viral comment sarcastically calling the song another win for the deaf, while another user joked about wishing their hearing had stopped working before tuning into the track. Critics have also pointed out that the singer seems to be trying too hard to appeal to Gen Z listeners by forcing modern internet slang into the lyrics, which ultimate backfired and created an awkward listening experience.
In addition to the musical composition, the conceptual layout of the music video has drawn sharp criticism for its depiction of women in a professional workplace setting. While the video begins with a lighthearted disclaimer warning viewers not to replicate the dance steps at their actual office to avoid HR intervention, many online viewers found the romanticized corporate setting unnecessary and tasteless. Critics argued that the video trivializes corporate culture and relies on overused tropes designed solely for viral reel trends rather than delivering genuine artistic value. The intense influx of critical comments even prompted the artist’s team to turn off comment sections on some promotional posts as the backlash mounted.
This recent controversy adds to a growing pattern of criticism surrounding Guru Randhawa’s recent releases, following similar backlash over his earlier track Azul. Many long-time fans expressed nostalgia for his past chart-busting hits like Lahore and Suit Suit, noting that his newer projects seem focused on rapid trend-chasing rather than melodic quality. As discussion around Fine Shyt continues to trend online, music enthusiasts are hoping the singer will return to his roots and deliver original, soul-touching Punjabi tracks in his upcoming projects.
