Chokha Toka by MrinmayMS, Shreya Basu

Few songs from 2025 have held their ground as well as Chokha Toka, a track that keeps finding new audiences. The music, composed by Mrinmay Manoranjan Sundaray, MrinmayMS, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Chokha Toka, MrinmayMS, Shreya Basu clearly belongs in the second group. Hearing Chokha Toka without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Chokha Toka.

The song dates from 2025, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

In 3:01 minutes, Chokha Toka builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Chokha Toka is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
