Chand Ke Jaisan by Ramdhan Gurjar, Neelam Yadav

Not every song from Dil Le Gaya Murli Wala lingers, but Chand Ke Jaisan is the one that stays. Sonotek Studio has a history of strong work, and the music on Chand Ke Jaisan is among the most memorable of it.

Every line Ramdhan Gurjar, Neelam Yadav sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2020 marked the release of Dil Le Gaya Murli Wala, and Chand Ke Jaisan 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 concision of Chand Ke Jaisan — just 5:18 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. For anyone yet to hear Chand Ke Jaisan, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
