Indian pop star Guru Randhawa has found himself at the centre of intense social media backlash following the release of his latest single, "Fine Shyt". Rather than receiving acclaim for his new release, the track and its accompanying music video have sparked a wave of online criticism. Listeners and social media users have harshly trolled the song's production, lyrics, and theme, with some netizens going as far as labelling the singer the "new Tony Kakkar" of the Punjabi music industry.

Guru Randhawa Drops ‘Fine Shyt’
Sung by Guru Randhawa alongside co-singer Yashvi Desai, "Fine Shyt" features lyrics co-written by Randhawa and Gurjit Gill. The music video features a corporate office setting where Randhawa plays a high-ranking professional, surrounded by female colleagues who dance and sing around him throughout the workday.
Alongside the singer, the visual cast includes social media creators and actors such as Ruhee Dosani, Divinity Bisht, Arshia Sinha, Raema Grover, Darlene Laura, and Mehar Kaur. The video opens with a formal disclaimer stating that all featured individuals are over 18 years old and that the content is purely fictional. It also includes a humorous warning advising viewers not to attempt the dance moves at their actual workplaces to avoid human resources disciplinary action.

Critics pointed out that turning a corporate environment into a sexualized background felt tone-deaf.

While music industry analysts note that polarising releases often still manage to trend across short-form video platforms, "Fine Shyt" continues to generate active debate among fans and critics online.
