Naam Adaa Likhna - Yahaan by Shaan, Shreya Ghoshal

Shaan, Shreya Ghoshal has delivered memorable performances before, but Naam Adaa Likhna - Yahaan sits comfortably among the very best. The music, composed by Shantanu Moitra, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Shaan, Shreya Ghoshal understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. Hearing Naam Adaa Likhna - Yahaan without thinking of Jimmy Sheirgill, Minissha Lamba, Yashpal Sharma is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Yahaan.

Running to 6:21, 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.
