Side De De by Narender Chawriya, Jyoti Nagar

Some songs are made for a single moment. Side De De is made for all of them. Darshan Narang's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

The performance by Narender Chawriya, Jyoti Nagar is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Side De De is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2020 was a strong year for Haryanvi music, and Side De De was among the reasons why. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

The concision of Side De De — just 5:11 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Side De De is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
