Rafta Rafta - Raaz 3: The Third Dimension by KK

KK has delivered memorable performances before, but Rafta Rafta - Raaz 3: The Third Dimension sits comfortably among the very best. The music, composed by Jeet Gannguli, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

KK inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The story told by Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta in Raaz 3: The Third Dimension finds its musical expression here — Rafta Rafta - Raaz 3: The Third Dimension is where the film's heart beats loudest.

By the end of 2012, Rafta Rafta - Raaz 3: The Third Dimension had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

Running to 4:31, 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.
