Mana Bharuni by Ananya Nanda, Vineet Sahoo

Mana Bharuni arrived from the Mana Bharuni album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2024. Behind the melody is the work of Ananya Nanda, Vineet Sahoo, Sambit Kumar Mohanty, whose composition choices give Mana Bharuni its distinctive texture.

The vocal on Mana Bharuni is among the better performances Ananya Nanda, Vineet Sahoo has committed to record. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Mana Bharuni is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

When it came out in 2024, Mana Bharuni felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. Listeners have described the experience of Mana Bharuni differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

The 4:29 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Years from now, Mana Bharuni will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
