Ego Chumma by Monu Albela, Anjali Bharti, Deepak Dilkash, Ajit Mandal

Monu Albela, Anjali Bharti, Deepak Dilkash, Ajit Mandal has delivered memorable performances before, but Ego Chumma sits comfortably among the very best. What makes Ego Chumma musically distinctive is the composition by Deepak Dilkash, which balances simplicity with depth.

Monu Albela, Anjali Bharti, Deepak Dilkash, Ajit Mandal inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. Hearing Ego Chumma without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Karejwa Dhuk Dhuk Kare.

2026 marked the release of Karejwa Dhuk Dhuk Kare, and Ego Chumma was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. 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 3:35, 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 Bhojpuri in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
