Tu Te Main

There is a Bir Singh song that people from both sides of Punjab keep coming back to, and it is not one of the flashy ones. Tu Te Main from the 2018 Pollywood film Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua is the kind of track that plays in your head on quiet mornings when you are not even thinking about music.

Bir Singh wrote the lyrics himself and his voice carries that warm, unhurried quality that very few singers in Punjabi music actually have. The music by Jatinder Shah keeps things simple on purpose. There is no attempt to impress you with production tricks. Just melody, words, and feeling.

The song appeared in one of the more beloved films of that era of Punjabi cinema. Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua was the kind of movie that reminded audiences what Pollywood does best when it focuses on real village life and genuine human relationships rather than trying to copy Bollywood formulas. Tu Te Main fit perfectly into that world.

What is interesting about this song is who listens to it. The comments section is full of people from Pakistan writing about how it reminds them of their own Punjab, their own grandparents, their own lost eras. Someone from Lahore, someone from Multan, someone from Faisalabad, all feeling the same thing as someone from Ludhiana or Amritsar. That is what a good Punjabi folk song does.

Bir Singh sits alongside names like Satinder Sartaj and Amrinder Gill in that group of Punjabi artists who prioritize soul over spectacle. Tu Te Main is one of the cleaner examples of why that approach works.
