Yeh Mera India

Yeh Mera India or YMI movie is hitting the theatres today. It’s a social movie and touches many topics in the societal context. Directed by N Chandra, the film focusses on minority rights, urban migration, reservation, corruption etc. 'Yeh Mera India' tries to explore the reality behind the myriad news reports that we see on the television and read in the newspapers everyday. Most of us tend to take it in a very normal sense, since the happenings are very far away from us. We hardly try to look behind the violence and atrocities that are taking place around us or find their root cause. This is where the movie steps in and tries to make us explore the real truth.

I have provided music, lyrics and sang for three (out of four) songs in the movie. All songs are thematic or situational.

First song of YMI 2009 music is “Bansuri”. The song begins with “Kabhi Socha Hai Ki Bansuri Ki Sur Me Itna Dard Kyoun Hai… Kabhi Socha Hai Ki Surkh Is Sarir Me Itna Ehsas Kyoun Hai…” The song begins with a slow-paced music but soon it turns in a vocal music.

“Dil Mandir” is next song in the movie. It is a purely devotional song and inspired by my Sufi style of singing. The song begins with “Dil Mandir Hai… Dil Mashjid Hai… Dil Mandir Hai… Dil Mashjid Hai… Dil Mandir Hai… Dil Mashjid Hai… Dil Mandir Hai… Dil Mashjid Hai… Dil Hi Rab Ka Ghar Hai…” It is one of my favorite songs and I hope Yeh Mera Audience likes it too…

“Aap Roothe Rahe” is another song which is folk based with slow paced music. The song also begins with a piano music and is a soft catch number…with excellent lyrics..

“More Naina” is last song of YMI. The song style is very much similar to “Aap Roothe Rahe” and is a romantic number.

My hope is that, YMI is liked by audience and moreso, if people enjoy the soft and vocal songs in the movie.

I look forward to your feedback. Do let me know, if you like these songs..

Cheers,

Kavita
