# Guru Randhawa releases Marzi after Fine Shyt backlash 2026-08-19T11:36:23+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa has released a new song, Marzi, days after his previous track Fine Shyt drew heavy criticism online. The music video shows Randhawa in an action-oriented role, featuring vehicles from a vintage Maruti Suzuki Gypsy to fighter jets. Fans have called the track a "banger comeback" and a reply to the trolls. Fine Shyt had been labelled "cringe" by listeners and sparked memes. Some accused it of misogynistic messaging toward female corporate workers. Singer Tony Kakkar also appeared to take a dig at Randhawa over the song. Randhawa later hit back on Instagram, saying he was not bothered and calling the criticism a failed strategy. Randhawa said Marzi is about "ownership of your choices, your circle, your story" and that "Punjab doesn't ask for a seat at the table. We build our own table." The song is available on major streaming platforms. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Hindustan Times and Bollywood Hungama report the same facts neutrally, but Hindustan Times leads with the controversy and fan reaction, framing the release as "revenge" for the Fine Shyt backlash. Bollywood Hungama leads with the song's theme and cultural context, treating it as a standalone release. Neither outlet questions the artist's motives or the quality of either song. A careful reader can note that the backlash itself is covered only by Hindustan Times, while Bollywood Hungama omits it entirely, focusing instead on the song's message and visuals. The measured takeaway is that Randhawa has successfully pivoted from controversy to a new release, but whether the song sustains his popularity will depend on streaming numbers in the coming weeks. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 1 neutral, 1 sensationalist - hindustantimes.com (sensationalist) Leads with 'revenge' framing and fan comments, emphasises backlash drama - bollywoodhungama.com (neutral report) Reports song release without mentioning prior controversy, focus on theme and visuals This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
