Baitha Balad by Masoom Sharma

There is an honesty to Baitha Balad that separates it from most Haryanvi songs released around the same time. Gaurav Panchal has a history of strong work, and the music on Baitha Balad is among the most memorable of it.

Masoom Sharma delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of Baitha Balad, and Baitha Balad captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

When it came out in 2021, Baitha Balad felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. There is no right time to listen to Baitha Balad. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

In 2:55 minutes, Baitha Balad builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Haryanvi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
