The mood and flavours of Laal Singh Chaddha are beautifully packed in its latest song “Kahani”. But more than the visuals, it is Sonu Nigam’s soulful, playful voice that makes the track an earworm. Aamir Khan and Sonu Nigam make a strong partnership, and “Kahani” is another addition to their hit collaborations.
“Kahani” previously formed the base of the movie’s trailer which released in May this year. Composed by Pritam and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the song suggested the inspirational mood of the movie. And now, with the makers releasing its full version, we can only thank the music team for composing such a heartwarming number. Though most of the visuals are already seen in its previous videos, hearing it along the story of Laal Singh Chaddha, is what makes it special.
The video has been smartly cut to give us a glimpse of every supporting actor and the individual bond they hold with Aamir’s lead character. We see Mona Singh as his mother, Kareena Kapoor as his love interest, and Naga Chaitanya as his friend on the battlefield, and even Manav Vij in a fleeing appearance.
Laal Singh Chaddha is based on Winston Groom’s 1986 novel of the same name, and an official Hindi remake of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. Laal Singh Chaddha has so far left many celebs from the Indian film industry impressed, including Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, SS Rajamouli and Sukumar.
