While Benny Dayal is widely known for his Bollywood chartbusters like Badtameez Dil, his lesser-known tracks reveal a more experimental and soulful side to his artistry. 

These underrated gems showcase his range across genres and languages, offering listeners a deeper appreciation for his craft.

1. Omana Penne - Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya


It beautifully captures his ability to convey emotion with subtlety and grace, contrasting with his more upbeat Bollywood numbers.

2. Tauba - Coke Studio @MTV Season 3


A folk-infused track that highlights Benny's skill in blending traditional sounds with contemporary music. 

3. Rappan Rappi Rap - Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota


It's a quirky, energetic track that didn't get as much attention as it deserved but remains a favorite among Benny's fans.

4. Kehe Bhi De - Traffic


This recent releases are favored by Benny himself and reflect his evolving style and maturity as a singer. 

5. Besura - Benny Dayal's Satirical Single


A unique and ironic commentary on the current state of the music industry, "Besura" is melodious yet sharp in its lyrics, addressing issues like paid views, out-of-tune singers, and the dominance of labels. 

As commercial trends dominate, exploring these hidden gems offers a deeper appreciation of Benny Dayal as a boundary-pushing, soulful artist.
