Surmedani by Harmanjit, Avvy Sra, Jyotica Tangri, Noor Chahal

Few songs from 2022 have held their ground as well as Surmedani, a track that keeps finding new audiences. Credit goes to Avvy Sra for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The voice of Harmanjit, Avvy Sra, Jyotica Tangri, Noor Chahal carries Surmedani effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2022 marked the release of Surmedani, and Surmedani was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Some music is background. Surmedani demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The 3:26 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Years from now, Surmedani will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
