Jazzy B is seen in a pleasant folk avatar where he sings Punjabi lyrics. His vocals are in perfect sync with Chirrantan Bhatt’s composition. ‘Ajj Singh Garjega’ is clearly a war-song, which ought to evoke patriotic sentiments in the audiences. Akshay is seen fighting through throngs of enemies, delivering dialogues like “Aaj meri pagdi bhi kesari, jo bahega mera lahoo bhi kesari, aur mera jawaab bhi kesari.” Watch the video here.
