Jaguar by Sikander, Shiva Choudhary

There is an honesty to Jaguar that separates it from most Haryanvi songs released around the same time. Deepty's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

The vocal on Jaguar is among the better performances Sikander, Shiva Choudhary has committed to record. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

By the end of 2023, Jaguar had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. There is no right time to listen to Jaguar. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 2:55, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
