Parallel Thoughts by Arjan Dhillon

Arjan Dhillon has delivered memorable performances before, but Parallel Thoughts sits comfortably among the very best. The music, composed by Arjan Dhillon, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The performance by Arjan Dhillon is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Chobar finds its musical expression here — Parallel Thoughts is where the film's heart beats loudest.

Released in 2024, it arrived at a time when Punjabi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Listeners have described the experience of Parallel Thoughts differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

In 3:31 minutes, Parallel Thoughts builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Years from now, Parallel Thoughts will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
