25-26 by Saabi Bhinder, Hukam, Gurlej Akhtar

There is an honesty to 25-26 that separates it from most Punjabi songs released around the same time. Hukam, Saabi Bhinder built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

Saabi Bhinder, Hukam, Gurlej Akhtar's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in 25-26 finds its musical expression here — 25-26 is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2026 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and 25-26 was among the reasons why. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

Running to 3:02, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
