Mohan Baba Ek Baar Dekh by Nisha Sharma, Janak Singh

Few songs from 2021 have held their ground as well as Mohan Baba Ek Baar Dekh, a track that keeps finding new audiences. Bastiram Toofan built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

Nisha Sharma, Janak Singh delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

By the end of 2021, Mohan Baba Ek Baar Dekh 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.

The concision of Mohan Baba Ek Baar Dekh — just 6:43 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
