Jai Gorakh Deva by RishiPal, Kaushinder, Ramavtar Sharma

Not every song from Jai Gorakh Deva lingers, but Jai Gorakh Deva is the one that stays. Sonotek Studio sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Every line RishiPal, Kaushinder, Ramavtar Sharma sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2021 was a strong year for Haryanvi music, and Jai Gorakh Deva was among the reasons why. Some music is background. Jai Gorakh Deva demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

Running to 9:45, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
