Film Chandrawal Dekhungi by Dev Kumar Deva, Ruchika Jangid

Not every song from Film Chandrawal Dekhungi lingers, but Film Chandrawal Dekhungi is the one that stays. Credit goes to for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The performance by Dev Kumar Deva, Ruchika Jangid is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Film Chandrawal Dekhungi finds its musical expression here — Film Chandrawal Dekhungi is where the film's heart beats loudest.

The song dates from 2033, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

Running to 3:02, 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 Haryanvi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
