Some critics found the rap verse a bit "too much" or felt the song played it safe within the "Punju-hiphop" genre. Visuals & Choreography

Critics generally view "Vele" as one of the standout, more addictive tracks on the album:

On-screen, the song serves as a vibrant introduction to the male leads, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. The choreography by Remo D'Souza is described as "tight" and "fun," effectively showcasing the stars' physical energy and chemistry.

Reviewers from BollySpice noted the "gritty" and "grainy" voices of Vishal and Shekhar, which suit the song's rebellious, "jobless" (vela) theme.

Its "addictive, fun, and stress-busting" nature and catchy hook make it a favorite for dance floors.

Penned by Anvita Dutt, the lyrics use Punjabi slang like tota , gedi , and peg-sheg to capture a carefree, "chill layabout" attitude. Critical Reception

It blends traditional desi elements with modern electronic beats, including subtle dubstep influences and rap verses.
