Episode 4 of Coke Studio 9 came out with a lot of pleasant surprises that were quite unexpected seeing how this season had been going. It started off with Mohsin Abbas Haider’s commendable debut and ended with people praising Noori’s beautiful Punjabi folk song “Paar Chanaa De” that left everyone speechless.
Noori collaborated with Shilpa Rao an Indian singer to compose this masterpiece. It is one of those few Coke Studio hits that received almost all positive reviews.
Here is what Pakistanis have to say about it.
1. The song had everything it takes to make a hit.
All the feels, brilliant lyrics and amazing composition.
Coke Studio has outdone itself with Paar Chanaa De. Perfect blend of soulful music and lyrics. Easily one of the most magical compositions.

2. Those 11 minutes passed too quickly.
Yes the song was 11 minutes. But they were beautiful. Ali Hamza and Shilpa Rao’s voice captures your attention and makes you drown in its magic. You just wish they keep singing.

Not only Ali Hamza and Ali Noor outdid themselves, Shilpa Rao deserves equal credit for making this song a hit. If you are a Punjabi this song is pure treat for your ears, if you are not there are subtitles for you. DO NOT MISS THIS OUT IN ANY CASE.
