Happy Holi by Vikram Pannu, Shanky Goswami

Vikram Pannu, Shanky Goswami has delivered memorable performances before, but Happy Holi sits comfortably among the very best. The production by Mohit Singh is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The voice of Vikram Pannu, Shanky Goswami carries Happy Holi effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. Hearing Happy Holi without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Happy Holi.

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

At 3:22, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
