Baapu by Sumit Goswami

Baapu arrived from the Baapu album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2021. The arrangement here is the work of Sumit Goswami, Khatri, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Sumit Goswami delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2021 marked the release of Baapu, and Baapu was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

The 2:57 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Haryanvi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
