Punjabi Mutiyaran by Jasmine Sandlas

Jasmine Sandlas has delivered memorable performances before, but Punjabi Mutiyaran sits comfortably among the very best. Jaidev Kumar built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

Jasmine Sandlas brings a warmth to Punjabi Mutiyaran that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2017 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and Punjabi Mutiyaran was among the reasons why. The emotional register of Punjabi Mutiyaran is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

At 3:31, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. For anyone yet to hear Punjabi Mutiyaran, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
