Setting by Arjan Dhillon

Arjan Dhillon has delivered memorable performances before, but Setting sits comfortably among the very best. Goldy Desi Crew has a history of strong work, and the music on Setting is among the most memorable of it.

Arjan Dhillon inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Setting finds its musical expression here — Setting is where the film's heart beats loudest.

Released in 2022, it arrived at a time when Punjabi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. There is a quality to Setting that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

The concision of Setting — just 2:40 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Songs like Setting are the reason people fall in love with Punjabi music and never quite fall out of it.
