The hook step (a wrist-twist with a shoulder shimmy) became popular in dance covers. The "Mahiya" section uses a graceful side-step that’s easy to imitate.
This is where the song shines.
The song opens with a soft, romantic guitar riff before dropping into a vibrant, dance-pop beat. It blends contemporary EDM with a subtle Indian folk rhythm (especially in the "Mahiya" hook). The tempo is mid-to-upbeat—not a typical slow love song, but not a club banger either. It lives in a sweet spot: perfect for a romantic dance sequence.
✘ Don’t expect profound meaning. It’s formulaic Bollywood romance. ✘ Length: The rap break feels slightly forced and slows momentum. ✘ Comparison: It’s not as iconic as "Ghoomar" or "Dola Re Dola" for dance numbers.
Note: There is sometimes confusion between "Sun Sathiya" (from the film ABCD 2 ) and "Main Rang Sharbaton Ka" (from Phata Poster Nikhla Hero ), which has a similar "Mahiya" hook. This review focuses on the and Prabhu Deva song from ABCD 2 (2015).
"Sun Sathiya" is a colorful, feel-good party track that works best when watched. Priyanka Chopra’s screen presence and the infectious "Mahiya" hook carry the song. It won’t be remembered as a classic, but it’s a perfect addition to any Bollywood dance playlist.
