vijeyaditiya Patriotism in a 24-language song

When the hugely patriotic ‘Vande Mataram' came to us in a different avatar from A. R. Rahman, old timers balked at first but all timers embraced it with open arms and a function simply isn't a function if it does not have the Rahman-tuned ‘Vande Mataram', with the stage fervently alive in a chorus.

Now Vijeyaditiya Film Director has an ambitious patriotic song a la Vande Mataram up his sleeve. Midhun Iswor Music director Composing the music for the Vijay Aditya director for his Tamil movie, ‘Eesal' and its Malayalam version, ‘12 a.m.' This song is not exactly ‘Vande Mataram'. Its lyrics are different, only the beginning has the ‘Vande Mataram' line.

The nine-minute song is in 24 languages of India and sung by 24 singers, not necessarily native speakers of the language, to accentuate the unity in diversity factor, perhaps. So we have no less a person than Kamal Hassan to sing the Malayalam lines and Suresh Gopi sings the Tamil verses.

The others who have given their voices for this patriotic song are Karthik in Kannada, Krishna Iyer in Telugu. Jassi Gift has sung the Hindi lines, while Unnikrishnan, the Punjabi lines and Oriya is by Benny Dayal. Swetha croons the Marathi lines, Biju Narayanan, the Kashmiri, and Afsal, Manipuri. Remember the girl who played Suresh Gopi's daughter in ‘Janakan'? Priya Lal. Yes, she sings the Gujarati lines. Anitha (Chandamaama… in ‘Rock n Roll') does the Urdu part and Shan sings in Mythili. Sangeetha sings in Konkani, Gayathri in Tulu, Sumathi in Rajasthani, Poornashree in Assamese, Rakesh in Sindhi, Anu Kadammanitta in Bhojpuri, Vijay Aditya (yes, the director himself) in Bengali, Binraj in the Saurashtra dialect, Nepali by Mithun and Balu sings the Baduga lines. There are Sanskrit lines which the music director Midhun himself sings

Why is the movie called ‘12 a.m.' in Malayalam and ‘Eesal' in Tamil? The horror flick narrates events taking place in 6 hours, 12-6, that's why! Director Vijay Adithya had earlier assisted popular Tamil directors like S. J Surya, and Malayalam directors, Sasi and Biju P. Nair. The song has been filmed and the movie is to be released sometime in August. Sony is releasing the songs shortly. Suresh Gopi is playing an important guest role in the movie. The magic words Vande Mataram and patriotic verses may well usher in a new wave of ‘national fervour' in the music scene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.166.165.148 (talk) 07:28, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
