Pistol by Masoom Sharma

When Masoom Sharma recorded Pistol, something special happened in the studio — and listeners have felt it ever since. Credit goes to Gaurav for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Pistol, Masoom Sharma clearly belongs in the second group. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Pistol, making it as much a performance as a song.

In 2021, Haryanvi produced many songs, but Pistol was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. 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.

Running to 3:58, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Masoom Sharma and Gaurav, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
