Some songs are made for a single moment. Gulfisha - Ada - A Way Of Life is made for all of them. The music, composed by A.R. Rahman, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Viviane Chaix's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2010 marked the release of Ada - A Way Of Life, and Gulfisha - Ada - A Way Of Life was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.
