Heeramandi Song Azadi: Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari's Freedom Hymn
NDTV
The song has been composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali
How much pain can one endure to relish a sunrise in an independent nation? The new song Azadi from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-awaited series Heeramandi encapsulates the indomitable spirit and resilience of the Lahore-based courtesans who will go to any extent to ensure a free nation. The video begins with a voiceover by Sonakshi Sinha saying, "Aap aur hum mit jaye, hume koi gham nehi. Par Heeramandi ki wajood mit jaye, yeh hume manjoor nehi (If you and I die, I won't have sorrow. But if the entity of Heeramandi gets extinct, I won't tolerate it)."
The song documents the tumultous time during a freedom movement where the Heeramandi courtesans are at war with the British soldiers. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's aesthetic grandeur captures the beauty of the scene in which the courtesans lead a march as torch bearers. The song ends on a heart-wrenching note where a captive Aditi Rao Hydari can be heard shouting a slogan of Azadi in unison with her other mates, waiting on the other side of a wall. The song has been composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The lyrics have been written by A M Turaz. Archana Gore, Pragati Joshi, Aditi Prabhudesai, Arohi, Aditi Paul, Tarannum Malik Jain, Dipti Rege have sung the song.
