The infectiously catchy “Dishoom Dishoom” sets the playful, rebellious tone for Netflix’s The Archies. With dynamite vocals from Dot and Kelly Dlima and fun lyrics by Javed Akhtar, realized through a swinging retro soundtrack by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, this song is made for singing and dancing along.
As Dot and Kelly cheekily croon about taking revenge on a two-timing Casanova, lines like “Come what may, we won’t spare him” capture the mischievous sisterhood solidarity. Meanwhile, Loy’s bouncy composition sprinkled with orchestral flair sounds like a 60s spy movie theme, aptly matching the ambition in Akhtar’s lyrics to “set him straight.”
Director Zoya Akhtar translates this audio excitement into an explosion of colour and movement. A scene-stealing introduction for the Archies crew, Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda ooze charismatic confidence, leading coordinated dance steps with friends. Their palpable camaraderie promises thrilling teen escapades ahead.
THE ARCHIES MOVIE | DISHOOM DHISHOOM SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Smack Pow Splat Boom, Crack Chop Whack
Smack Pow Splat Boom, Crack Chop Whack
Dhishoom Dhishoom
Bang, bang!
Isko Bhi Milna Usko Bhi Milna
He dates one, then the other
Chakkar Bahot Hain Iske
He spins many a yarn
Yahan Bhi Dhokha Wahan Bhi Dhokha
He cheats this one, then the other
Thik Karenge Hum Isse
Now we’ll set him straight
He Better Watch His Back Alright
He better watch his back all right
Dil Bhar Ke Hum Lenge, Har Dhokhe Ka Isse Badla
We’ll rejoice in taking revenge for every betrayal
He Better Watch His Back Alright
He better watch his back all right
Cause He’s Got The Bark, But We’ve Got The Bite
‘Cause he’s got the bark but we’ve got the bite
Smack Ab Yeh Jaanega, Pow Ab Yeh Maanega
Now he’ll know his crimes. Now he’ll toe the line.
Splat Iska Drama Nahi Chalega
His flirting days are over.
Boom Crack Seedha Rahega, Chop Seedha Chalega
He’ll be walking the straight and narrow
Whack Yeh Promise Hum Se Karega
Now he’ll keep his promises
Dhishoom Dhishoom
Bang, bang!
He Better Watch His Back Alright
He better watch his back all right
Chahe Jo Bhi Ho Jaye, Ab Yeh Hum Se Nahi Bachega
Come what may, we won’t spare him
He Better Watch His Back Alright
He better watch his back all right
Cause He’s Got The Bark But We’ve Got The Bite
‘Cause he’s got the bark But we’ve got the bite
He Better Watch His Back Alright

We’ll rejoice in taking revenge for every betrayal
He Better Watch His Back Alright
He better watch his back all right
Cause He’s Got The Bark But We’ve Got The Bite
‘Cause he’s got the bark But we’ve got the bite
He Better Watch His Back Alright, Cause He’s Got The Bark
