What To Do - Aiyyaa by Sneha Khanwalkar, Amitabh Bhattacharya

Some songs are made for a single moment. What To Do - Aiyyaa is made for all of them. Credit goes to Amit Trivedi for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Sneha Khanwalkar, Amitabh Bhattacharya 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 Aiyyaa finds its musical expression here — What To Do - Aiyyaa is where the film's heart beats loudest.

The song dates from 2012, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

In 5:25 minutes, What To Do - Aiyyaa builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. For anyone yet to hear What To Do - Aiyyaa, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
