Proud that the semi-classical Nee Parichaya has won the hearts of people: Raghu Dixit

The team of

Ninna Sanihake

is excited that the melody,

Nee Parichaya

, from the film, has become a viral hit on social media. Such is the craze that the song has had over 250 covers since it was released. The song from actor Suraj Gowda’s debut directorial has been composed by Raghu Dixit and penned by Vasuki Vaibhav.

"It is incredible that there are over 250 covers in such a little time. I was unaware about it until the film's team found them. I know that

Munjaane Manjalli

has far more covers, but what makes me proud about Nee Parichaya doing so well is that it is a semi-classical melody and has won the hearts of people. To present a melody like this in a contemporary way and not only have people liking and reproducing it as covers is incredible and heartwarming for me as a composer," says Raghu, adding that any song striking a chord with listeners tends to work well for the film.

Talking about the range of covers, he shares, "These aren't just vocal covers, but also include instrumental versions, like with a veena, violin and flute, among others. When Suraj told me about these versions, I was amazed." Was he expecting this sort of appreciation for the song? "I knew Nee Parichaya and

Maley Maley

would do well. The team banked on Maley Maley and did not expect Nee Parichaya to reach these numbers. Having Siddhartha Belmannu and

Rakshitha Suresh

sing it made all the difference, I guess."

Suraj credits the success of the song to

Raghu

and adds, "We had a positive vibe while shooting this. We knew somewhere that it would be relatable and popular. It feels good that every song from our film is trending and doing well on the charts."
