While 'Hotel Mumbai', the
Hollywood
movie that recreated the terrorising event of 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, got critically appreciated, the one thing thing that also stayed with people was 'Jai ho', the patriotic song in the film. This patriotic song, 'Humein Bharat Kehte Hain' is composed by musical duo Sunny and Inder Bawra. "We have worked really hard on this track and usually when it isn't an item number or a peppy, romantic or upbeat one, you don't expect the song to pick up this easily. But 'Humein Bharat Kehte Hain' turned out to be an anomaly which pleasantly surprised us. The lyrics written by Kumaarji made this song doubly special because you really have to have the right words when it comes to writing a song for country," says Sunny Inder.
Hailing from a humble background in Bathinda, Punjab, this composer duo haven't had their success easy. "We moved to Mumbai in 2000 and after many years, we got our first break with 'Jai Shri Krishna'. Our most acclaimed work in the small screen still remains 'Devon Ke Dev Mahadev', but movies were still a distant dream till we met
Vikram Bhatt who gave us a break in '
Ankur Arora Murder Case
'. The music worked well in the film and we later went on to do Hate Story Series background score with our dear friend director Vishal Pandya along with
Wajah Tum Ho
."
"Work eventually started trickling in along with recognition in the industry. We were approached by Nishikant Kamath and John Abraham for 'Rocky Handsome', 'Madaari' and later also did a song in 'Badhaai Ho', sung by Padam Bhushan Shubha Mudgal Ji,"says Sunny Inder who's happy that they finally have their hands full.
The duo have recently also released their single with titled 'Rule Ke Gaya Ishq Tera' that has already cross a million views. Inder is also looking forward to an amazing fun flick 'Bole Chudiyaan' for which they are not only composing music but also making
Nawazuddin Siddiqui rap for a song!
