Rab Sab Se Sona - F.A.L.T.U by Sachin, Jigar, Neeraj Shridhar

Not every song from F.A.L.T.U lingers, but Rab Sab Se Sona - F.A.L.T.U is the one that stays. The production by Sachin Sanghvi, Jigar Saraiya is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Every line Sachin, Jigar, Neeraj Shridhar sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. Hearing Rab Sab Se Sona - F.A.L.T.U without thinking of Jackky Bhagnani, Puja Gupta, Riteish Deshmukh is almost impossible for anyone who has seen F.A.L.T.U.

By the end of 2011, Rab Sab Se Sona - F.A.L.T.U had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

Running to 4:06, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Hindi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
