The patriotic track 'Ghar Kab Aaoge' from the highly anticipated war drama 'Border 2' has struck a deep chord with the nation. Since its release, the song has been showered with love not just from the general public but also from the very heroes it honors – the Indian soldiers.
Stars and Soldiers Unite in Musical Tribute
A heartwarming social media clip, simply captioned "ghar," has gone viral, capturing a special moment. The film's leads, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, along with legendary playback singer Sonu Nigam, were seen in an impromptu jam session with Indian Army personnel. In the clip, one soldier expertly plays the harmonium while another provides the rhythm on the dholak, as the actors and singer join in for the soulful number.
This interaction highlights the profound connection the song has established. Sonu Nigam, who dropped the track on his official Instagram handle, dedicated it to the nation's brave soldiers and their families. He expressed that being part of this project felt like a significant and emotional return to form.
Sonu Nigam's Emotional 'Homecoming'
Sharing his feelings in a heartfelt note, Sonu Nigam wrote, "Some songs aren't just melodies; they are emotions that belong to the soul of our nation. Being a part of this song for Border 2 felt like a beautiful homecoming." He added that it is rare for an artist to relive such magic and expressed his blessing for this continuing journey.
'Ghar Kab Aaoge' serves as a spiritual successor to the iconic 1999 ballad 'Sandese Aate Hai' from the original film 'Border.' The original was sung by Sonu Nigam and Roopkumar Rathod, with lyrics by Javed Akhtar and composition by Anu Malik. For the new version, composer Mithoon has reimagined the melody, while lyricist Manoj Muntashir Shukla has penned fresh, poignant words.
