Right By Your Side - Ra-One by Vishal And Shekhar, Sidd Coutto

Right By Your Side - Ra-One works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. The arrangement here is the work of Vishal And Shekhar, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

The performance by Vishal And Shekhar, Sidd Coutto is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The chemistry of Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Rampal, Shah Rukh Khan is embedded in every moment of Right By Your Side - Ra-One, making it as much a performance as a song.

2011 marked the release of Ra-One, and Right By Your Side - Ra-One was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is a quality to Right By Your Side - Ra-One that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

At 4:22, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The track stands as evidence that Vishal And Shekhar, Sidd Coutto and Vishal And Shekhar, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
