Haseena by Jass Manak

Released as part of No Competition, Haseena announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Mixsingh sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Haseena, Jass Manak clearly belongs in the second group. Jass Manak gave the film its soul, and Haseena is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2020 marked the release of No Competition, and Haseena was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

At 3:17, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The track stands as evidence that Jass Manak and Mixsingh, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
