Baaki Hai - 5 Weddings by Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal

Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal has delivered memorable performances before, but Baaki Hai - 5 Weddings sits comfortably among the very best. Vibhas sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in 5 Weddings finds its musical expression here — Baaki Hai - 5 Weddings is where the film's heart beats loudest.
