Tequila - Bala by Sachin, Jigar, Jigar Saraiya, Divya Kumar

Tequila - Bala arrived from the Bala album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2019. Jigar Saraiya, Sachin Sanghvi built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

The performance by Sachin, Jigar, Jigar Saraiya, Divya Kumar is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. On screen, Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam, Bhumi Pednekar bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

Released in 2019, it arrived at a time when Hindi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Listeners have described the experience of Tequila - Bala differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

In 2:40 minutes, Tequila - Bala builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Years from now, Tequila - Bala will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
