Ek Dooni Do - Rangoon by Rekha Bhardwaj

Ek Dooni Do - Rangoon arrived from the Rangoon album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2017. Vishal Bhardwaj built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

The vocal on Ek Dooni Do - Rangoon is among the better performances Rekha Bhardwaj has committed to record. The song is tied to Saif Ali Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Satish Shah, whose presence gives Ek Dooni Do - Rangoon a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

Released in 2017, it arrived at a time when Hindi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. 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 3:57, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
