Goradi by Hanu Dhalwa

Some songs are made for a single moment. Goradi is made for all of them. Credit goes to Vishnu Shekhawat for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Goradi, Hanu Dhalwa clearly belongs in the second group. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Goradi finds its musical expression here — Goradi is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2020 marked the release of Goradi, and Goradi was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

At 3:28, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. Years from now, Goradi will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
