Rozana - Phir Se by Mohit Chauhan, Tulsi Kumar

Mohit Chauhan, Tulsi Kumar has delivered memorable performances before, but Rozana - Phir Se sits comfortably among the very best. Credit goes to Jeet Gannguli for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The vocal on Rozana - Phir Se is among the better performances Mohit Chauhan, Tulsi Kumar has committed to record. Kunal Kohli, Jennifer Winget, Sumona Chakravarti, Rajit Kapoor, Dalip Tahil, Kanwaljit Singh, Sushmita Mukherjee gave the film its soul, and Rozana - Phir Se is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2018 marked the release of Phir Se, and Rozana - Phir Se was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Some music is background. Rozana - Phir Se demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

Running to 3:52, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
