Badmashi by Pranjal Dahiya, Sonu Thukral, Sultaan, Avvy Sra

Badmashi works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. Behind the melody is the work of Avvy Sra, whose composition choices give Badmashi its distinctive texture.

The voice of Pranjal Dahiya, Sonu Thukral, Sultaan, Avvy Sra carries Badmashi effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. Pranjal Dahiya gave the film its soul, and Badmashi is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2026 marked the release of Badmashi, and Badmashi was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

The 2:27 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Badmashi has earned its place in the catalogue of Punjabi music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
