Dooba Dooba by Silk Route

There is an honesty to Dooba Dooba that separates it from most Indian Pop songs released around the same time. Credit goes to Mohit Chauhan, Kem Trivedi, Atul Mittal for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Every line Silk Route sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Dooba Dooba a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

By the end of 2016, Dooba Dooba had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. There is no right time to listen to Dooba Dooba. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 5:05, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Dooba Dooba is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
