Rise Of Sultan - Sultan by Vishal And Shekhar, Shekhar Ravjiani, Irshad Kamil

There is an honesty to Rise Of Sultan - Sultan that separates it from most Hindi songs released around the same time. The production by Vishal And Shekhar is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Vishal And Shekhar, Shekhar Ravjiani, Irshad Kamil inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. Hearing Rise Of Sultan - Sultan without thinking of Salman Khan, Randeep Hooda, Amit Sadh, Anushka Sharma is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Sultan.

Released in 2016, it arrived at a time when Hindi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. The emotional register of Rise Of Sultan - Sultan is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

In 2:46 minutes, Rise Of Sultan - Sultan builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Years from now, Rise Of Sultan - Sultan will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
