Signs by Guru Randhawa, Sanjoy

There is an honesty to Signs that separates it from most Punjabi songs released around the same time. Guru Randhawa built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

The performance by Guru Randhawa, Sanjoy is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

The song dates from 2022, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. The emotional register of Signs is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

The concision of Signs — just 2:25 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Signs has earned its place in the catalogue of Punjabi music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
