Khodiya by Raju Punjabi

Khodiya arrived from the Khodiya album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2020. Beat Boy (RAJU PUNJABI)'s arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

Raju Punjabi's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

In 2020, Haryanvi produced many songs, but Khodiya was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

The concision of Khodiya — just 3:51 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Songs like Khodiya are the reason people fall in love with Haryanvi music and never quite fall out of it.
