Baby Doll - Gippi by Vishal And Shekhar, Sukhwinder Singh, Udit Narayan

There is an honesty to Baby Doll - Gippi that separates it from most Hindi songs released around the same time. Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

Vishal And Shekhar, Sukhwinder Singh, Udit Narayan understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. The story told by Riya Vij, Taaha Shah in Gippi finds its musical expression here — Baby Doll - Gippi is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2013 was a strong year for Hindi music, and Baby Doll - Gippi was among the reasons why. The emotional register of Baby Doll - Gippi is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

The concision of Baby Doll - Gippi — just 4:04 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Baby Doll - Gippi is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
