The soundtrack for the 2019 gritty dacoit drama Sonchiriya, composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is a haunting and atmospheric collection that perfectly captures the desolate beauty of the Chambal ravines. With evocative and rooted lyrics primarily by Varun Grover, the album moves away from typical Bollywood tropes to deliver a raw, folk-inspired sound. Standout tracks include the soulful and melancholic “Ruan Ruan” by Arijit Singh and the gritty, rebellious “Baaghi Re” sung by Mame Khan. The title track, “Sonchiraiya,” performed by Rekha Bhardwaj, adds a layer of tragic grace to the film’s violent narrative, making the album a critically acclaimed masterpiece of situational film music.
