Made In India by Guru Randhawa

Made In India is one of those rare Punjabi tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. The arrangement here is the work of Guru Randhawa, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Guru Randhawa delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. The story told by Guru Randhawa, Elnaaz Norouzi in Made In India finds its musical expression here — Made In India is where the film's heart beats loudest.

By the end of 2018, Made In India had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

Running to 3:22, 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.
