Rabba by Renuka Panwar

There is an honesty to Rabba that separates it from most Haryanvi songs released around the same time. Credit goes to Ranveer Singh for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The vocal on Rabba is among the better performances Renuka Panwar has committed to record. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

The song dates from 2021, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. Some music is background. Rabba demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The concision of Rabba — just 4:08 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
