Badmashi by Jass Manak

When Jass Manak recorded Badmashi, something special happened in the studio — and listeners have felt it ever since. Behind the melody is the work of Deep Jandu, whose composition choices give Badmashi its distinctive texture.

Jass Manak's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. Featuring Jass Manak, Gurlej Akhtar, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

2020 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and Badmashi was among the reasons why. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

At 2:36, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. Songs like Badmashi are the reason people fall in love with Punjabi music and never quite fall out of it.
