Sab Chalta Hai - I M 24 by Gaurav Bangia

Sab Chalta Hai - I M 24 arrived from the I M 24 album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2012. The production by Jatin, Pandit is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Gaurav Bangia brings a warmth to Sab Chalta Hai - I M 24 that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. The song is tied to Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia, Manjari Fadnnis, whose presence gives Sab Chalta Hai - I M 24 a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

In 2012, Hindi produced many songs, but Sab Chalta Hai - I M 24 was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

Running to 4:24, 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.
