Phir Se - Phir Se by Nikhil D'souza, Shreya Ghoshal

Phir Se - Phir Se arrived from the Phir Se album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2018. The arrangement here is the work of Jeet Gannguli, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Nikhil D'souza, Shreya Ghoshal understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. Featuring Kunal Kohli, Jennifer Winget, Sumona Chakravarti, Rajit Kapoor, Dalip Tahil, Kanwaljit Singh, Sushmita Mukherjee, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

When it came out in 2018, Phir Se - Phir Se felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. There is no right time to listen to Phir Se - Phir Se. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 4:16, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Years from now, Phir Se - Phir Se will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
