Sun Mori Rani - Aanch by Nana Patekar, Poonam Jhawer

Sun Mori Rani - Aanch arrived from the Aanch album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2003. Sanjeev, Darshan has a history of strong work, and the music on Sun Mori Rani - Aanch is among the most memorable of it.

Nana Patekar, Poonam Jhawer's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Sun Mori Rani - Aanch, making it as much a performance as a song.

2003 was a strong year for Hindi music, and Sun Mori Rani - Aanch was among the reasons why. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

The concision of Sun Mori Rani - Aanch — just 4:20 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
