Hawayein - Hawayein by Babbu Maan, Sadhana Sargam

Babbu Maan, Sadhana Sargam inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. Featuring Aanandee, Ammtoje Mann, Babbu Maan, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.
