Samosa by Hina, Bajrang Rathi

Released as part of Samosa, Samosa announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Bajrang Rathi's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Samosa, Hina, Bajrang Rathi clearly belongs in the second group. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Samosa a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

Released in 2021, it arrived at a time when Haryanvi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Listeners have described the experience of Samosa differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

The 4:19 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Haryanvi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
