Daruism by Gurjas Sidhu, Gaiphy, Jasmeen Akhtar

Few songs from 2026 have held their ground as well as Daruism, a track that keeps finding new audiences. Gurnoorjot Singh sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

The performance by Gurjas Sidhu, Gaiphy, Jasmeen Akhtar is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

By the end of 2026, Daruism had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

Running to 2:36, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Punjabi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
