Haryana Roadways by Badshah, Fazilpuria

Some songs are made for a single moment. Haryana Roadways is made for all of them. The arrangement here is the work of Badshah, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

The vocal on Haryana Roadways is among the better performances Badshah, Fazilpuria has committed to record. On screen, Deepti Sadhwani bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2020 was a strong year for Haryanvi music, and Haryana Roadways was among the reasons why. Haryana Roadways is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

The concision of Haryana Roadways — just 3:08 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Songs like Haryana Roadways are the reason people fall in love with Haryanvi music and never quite fall out of it.
