Waake by Gurnam Bhullar

Not every song from Waake lingers, but Waake is the one that stays. Mixsingh's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

Gurnam Bhullar brings a warmth to Waake that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

The 2025 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

At 3:33, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Punjabi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
