The new Punjabi track ‘Jugni’, featuring Sonu Thukral and B Praak with Jacqueline Fernandez, has arrived under the ST Music banner, and it’s a video that impresses far more with its visuals than with its overall punch.
Jacqueline performs with her usual aplomb, moving through the frames with practised confidence. But there’s a sense that the spark which once defined her music video appearances is somewhat muted here. The energy feels more composed than combustible, and the video leans on her screen presence rather than any standout moment to carry it.
What the song does make up for is its visual craft. The cinematography is genuinely striking, with breath-taking frames and a polish that elevates the overall watch. Lighting, colour grading and camera movement have clearly been given careful attention, and the visuals do a lot of heavy lifting to keep the video engaging.
Musically, ‘Jugni’ fits comfortably within the current Punjabi pop space, with B Praak and Sonu Thukral’s vocals giving the track its emotional core. It is a competent, well-produced number, though not one that necessarily breaks new ground.
Overall, ‘Jugni’ is a video worth watching for its stunning visuals and cinematography, even if the spark itself doesn’t quite hit the heights fans might expect.
