यारियाँ

The friendship anthem of Ghich Pich (2025), 'Yaariyan' is sung by Devenderpal Singh with music by Rohit Sharma and Shellee's Punjabi lyrics. The word 'yaariyan' — deep male friendships — is one of Punjabi culture's most emotionally loaded concepts, and the song positions these boyhood bonds as the film's moral centre against the backdrop of parental control and societal pressure in early-2000s Chandigarh.

Rohit Sharma's arrangement is warmer and slightly more up-tempo than 'Pyaar Ch Tere', befitting a friendship song as opposed to a love song. Devenderpal Singh brings an earthy Punjabi vocal quality that recalls the best regional folk-pop traditions — grounded, unpolished in the right ways, and deeply human.

Shellee's Punjabi lyrics for this song lean into the oral tradition of dosti poetry — verses that have been recited in Punjab for generations to honour friendship. The word itself ('yaariyan', plural of 'yaar') carries weight beyond mere translation: it implies loyalty, shared secrets, and the kind of knowing that needs no explanation.

Within the film's narrative, Yaariyan likely soundtracks one of the moments when the three boys — Gaurav, Anurag, and Gurpreet — are still united before the fathers' interventions fracture their bond. Devenderpal Singh, a singer with roots in Punjabi folk, was an apt choice for this material.

The film's warm reception at diaspora film festivals suggests 'Yaariyan' may develop a quiet following among audiences who grew up in Chandigarh or Punjab in the 2000s, finding in it an accurate musical portrait of that era's emotional world.
