Bhagatt Aadmi by Masoom Sharma, Anjali 99, Pranjal Dahiya, Aman Jaji

There is an honesty to Bhagatt Aadmi that separates it from most Haryanvi songs released around the same time. The arrangement here is the work of Aman Jaji, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Masoom Sharma, Anjali 99, Pranjal Dahiya, Aman Jaji inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. Hearing Bhagatt Aadmi without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Bhagatt Aadmi.

2022 was a strong year for Haryanvi music, and Bhagatt Aadmi was among the reasons why. There is no right time to listen to Bhagatt Aadmi. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

The concision of Bhagatt Aadmi — just 3:15 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Bhagatt Aadmi is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
