Chammiya
BEST PART of song is the chorus DHIN TA TA DHIN TA TA (OFF-DA-HOOK croons along with drum skips in SYNC that get the listener swaying in estacy) from 2.13 to 2.15 & 2.17 to 2.19 in 1st stanza and from 4.11 to 4.13 & 4.15 to 4.17 in 2nd stanza followed by energetic repetitive chants HAI that give sike.
