Fake Friends by Tarsem Jassar, Deep Jandu

Fake Friends works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. What makes Fake Friends musically distinctive is the composition by Deep Jandu, Tarsem Jassar, which balances simplicity with depth.

The voice of Tarsem Jassar, Deep Jandu carries Fake Friends effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

In 2026, Punjabi produced many songs, but Fake Friends was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. The emotional register of Fake Friends is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

In 2:56 minutes, Fake Friends builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
