Highway 2014 Movie Poster

Irshad Kamil‘s best songs are almost borderline hymns (Kun Faya Kun & Illahi come to mind). Patakha Guddi falls right in that category. Here is a song that talks about this girl (the protagonist in ‘Highway’) but is worded so beautifully it talks about her in relationship with god.

Singers: Sultan Nooran & Jyoti Nooran
