Ya Husain - David by Prashant Pillai, Lucky Ali

Some songs are made for a single moment. Ya Husain - David is made for all of them. The production by Prashant Pillai is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Prashant Pillai, Lucky Ali understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. Featuring Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vikram, Vinay Virmani, Tabu, Isha Sharvani, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

2013 was a strong year for Hindi music, and Ya Husain - David was among the reasons why. There is a quality to Ya Husain - David that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

Running to 2:32, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
