The siblings revelled (Noor)and inspired

Tuk Tuk, from Sultan, was sung by the sisters, Jyoti (Noor)and Sultana. Vishal Dadlani, who Sh(ekh)ared composing credits with Ravjiani, kept them company behind the microphone.

The track, which was a blend of Sufi (a genre the siblings are adept at) and Hinglish rap, was penned by Irshad Kamil, and was four minutes and twelve seconds long.

The highlight of the song, undoubtedly, is the use of similes, such as chanchal (fickle), resham (silk), malmal (muslin) and gehri daldal (deep quicksand), to describe life, whose movement (forward) has been described using the phrase tuk tuk.
