Jhanana - Jhanana - Apna Asmaan by K. S. Chithra

Jhanana - Jhanana - Apna Asmaan arrived from the Apna Asmaan album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2007. Leslie Lewis's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

The vocal on Jhanana - Jhanana - Apna Asmaan is among the better performances K. S. Chithra has committed to record. Hearing Jhanana - Jhanana - Apna Asmaan without thinking of Irrfan Khan, Shobana, Dhruv Piyush Panjuani, Anupam Kher is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Apna Asmaan.

Released in 2007, it arrived at a time when Hindi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. 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.

The concision of Jhanana - Jhanana - Apna Asmaan — just 5:14 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Years from now, Jhanana - Jhanana - Apna Asmaan will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
