The song has achieved a different level of popularity altogether. The film might be based on a historical incident, but it does not promote any kind of prejudice or bias.Įhsaan: Every day, people upload at least two-three cover versions of ‘Ae Watan’ on social media. That is the beauty of it – there is no prejudice of the border in this song. Shankar incorporated the ‘Lab Pe Aati Hai’ part so seamlessly into the song that people from both sides of the border can sing it. ‘Sare Jahan Se Achha, Hindustan Hamara’ was written by him too. Unke likhe hue prayers humne school mein gaayein hain. Since the lead character in the film moves to Pakistan, I thought it was best to use poet laureate Muhammad Iqbal’s words. Only the ‘Lab Pe Aati Hai’ portion was added later. Gulzar: They took the lines, started singing, and just like that, we got our tune. Paanch minute mein yeh tune ban gayi thi. We created it while sitting in Gulzar saab’s living room. At a time when EDM is so popular, we dared to create a song like ‘Ae Watan’, which has no electronic elements at all. While everyone is going with the tide, the four of us are going the other way. Shankar: It is very tough to flow against the tide, but we are like salmons.

It’s an album that you will not forget easily. We have been authentic and it has worked out well.Įhsaan: We are very happy with the music of ‘Raazi’ and Gulzar saab’s lyrics. The songs propel the narrative and make it much more convincing. ‘Raazi’s’ music has the flavour of Jammu and Kashmir, as the story is partially set there, and Alia Bhatt’s character, too, belongs to the state. Loy: It’s been a fantastic experience working on this project. Well, one can define nationalism through this song. People keep asking what nationalism is all about. It speaks for all of us and it speaks without any prejudice. Gulzar: I would like ‘Ae Watan’ to become the song of our nation. It’s after long that a patriotic song has managed to do that. After listening to the reactions to the first song, ‘Ae Watan’, we realised that the track has evoked patriotism and a feeling of pride in the listeners. All the songs in ‘Raazi’ are straight from the heart, and we are proud of them. Shankar: I believe that it is extremely difficult to make simple songs.
