Gangwarr by Veeir Chaudary, Manisha Sharma

Gangwarr is one of those rare Haryanvi tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. The production by Harry Lather, Praveen Lather is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The vocal on Gangwarr is among the better performances Veeir Chaudary, Manisha Sharma has committed to record. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2021 marked the release of Gangwarr, and Gangwarr was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Some music is background. Gangwarr demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

Running to 3:40, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Veeir Chaudary, Manisha Sharma and Harry Lather, Praveen Lather, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
