Petrol by Arjan Dhillon, MXRCI

Some songs are made for a single moment. Petrol is made for all of them. The production by Arjan Dhillon is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Arjan Dhillon, MXRCI's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2025 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and Petrol was among the reasons why. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

The 1:59 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Petrol endures because it was built on feeling rather than formula — and that is the one thing streaming numbers cannot manufacture.
