I was listening to the new version of Mile Sur Mera Tumhara. The new song is amazing, no comparison to ARR. Especially the start he gives, the softness and smoothness of the twists and turns of the musical notes – mind-blowing! I am mesmerized by the start ARR gives on the finger-keyboard! Have been listening to this song now repeatedly! Btw, anyone knows which Raagam this is?
A very good attempt to recreate the depth of unity that the older version gave.
But is India and unity all about a bunch of film industry people? This was more like seeing the filmfare awards. The previous one had at least a good number of sportsmen. This one had some of them, but those were too small considering the time the ‘filmis’ dominated.
Aren’t there not enough people who have contributed to the cause of the nation and its upliftment, at least in some small way that has greater value than these bunch of filmi icons?? Haven’t not brave army men, scientists and the likes done India good? Haven’t those individuals gone beyond their linguistic and cultural boundaries and seen India as one? When do we ever recognize them – only posthumously as martyrs??
And yeah, they did show what was intended, but that was the last few seconds of a 16-odd minute long story! A little more creativity in picturization was needed. Was too lengthy and a little disappointing…
