Patriotism that days, you dont had to curse Pakistan, you dont had to belittle somone else's religion. It was the inner urge to improve our grassroot conditions.
Thank you for making a special episode for this song. If I am forced to keep only one song in my phone for rest of my life, I will choose Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera without thinking. ❤
Great episode O2… God bless.. writing an episode of Indian film music documentary.. Let me clarify. I mentioned great episode because of few minutes only. Not about the praise on AR Rahman, because too much has been showered on A R Rahman. Though he deserves more, a lot lot more. But I’m talking about the comment from Javed Saab. There is the way the instrumentation has been used, who could think of it? Who used Shehnai like that ever?? Rahman’s work is like opening a new door for music. If you open one door per episode, you need to do few thousand episodes. I can tell my story where in my cruise ship, I met the musicians who perform different different people song and they come from schools of music from Los Angeles and others. They said you guys are so lucky having ARR in your country. Why he doesn’t do English staff so that we could do, but it doesn’t stop us from listening to them. Even we don’t understand. We eagerly wait for any ARR work to find something new. We don’t follow any Composer other than him. he said for Indian audience. We have to do a lot of shit songs, but ARR work is sublime. We did one evening based on ARR and we got lesser Indian crowd. So in your own country, you don’t value ARR, but the people who came, they came to meet us in the backstage and hugged us. But while performing ARR staff as an artist, it touched us like nothing touched ever.. I felt so proud.
Another fantastic episode. Javed Akhtar is such a humble and extremely Talented person. The way he analyzes and approaches music and A R Rehman is fantastic. A R Rehman should certainly get award for that song. Any how its fantastic episode. Not even a single boring moment when Javed ji speaks . Coming to Swadesh , its fantastic movie and fantastic songs by A R Rehman.
ARR has had enough awards. But to think that Main Hoon Na was better than Swades is a nonsense. Best playback singing belonged to ARR easily. Anyway he is well celebrated, awarded and virtually worshipped so we shouldn’t be bitter.
Yes agree. Filmfare jury must have been on something when they choose Mai hoon na over Swades for best music. Its not even a comparison. Swades album was the best of that decade.
Guys. Pls mention that ARR has been appointed the president of Trinity college for the next 5 years in your next episode..pls make an exception to our *** media.... our media will cover the gossips but not the real news which should inspire us..
5:19 Such is Swades that the lyricist himself is saying about his own two songs. Whereas we have films today that come and go without their songs being remembered even for a month and here are these masterpieces whose every single song and even BGM is way more enduring than today’s most films. Thanks O2 for making me feel like the child I was. Swades is one of the best films ever regardless of whether it was a social film or not, just as a standalone storytelling music performances and world building of Swades is a rare feat that Indian cinema rarely achieves.
That is because of rehman As you didn't mention other gowariker movies where rehman was not present Khelen hum jee jaan se What's your rashee Panipat And others without rehman
To me, Swades stands as A.R. Rahman's finest work, surpassing even iconic albums like Dil Se and Roja. Despite the film offering limited opportunities for music or songs, every track seamlessly enhances the narrative. From the evocative title theme to the soulful road trip anthem, the motivational "Yeh Tara," the romantic "Saawariya," the heartfelt duet "Dekho Na," the devotional "Pal Pal Hai Bhaari," and the legendary "Yeh Jo Des Hai Mera," each song is impeccable. The background score is extraordinary, elevating the film to another level. In fact, the movie can be appreciated purely for its score and BGM, alongside its compelling story. Swades is a storytelling masterpiece by Ashutosh Gowariker, a feat in narrating a slow-paced story with incredible repeat value. Every individual involved in this project has contributed to its brilliance, making it a true classic. ❤🎉
Definitely can’t agree more with Javed Akhtar on this that ARR should have won the national award or at least Filmfare award where none had been bestowed upon him. It was like another passionate rendition of a patriotic song after Vande Mataram. Perhaps the jury of both the awards must have thought it’s pointless to give away award to a music director for singing or else how could they give it a miss giving award to such a prolific composer cum singer for such a soul stirring song! Don’t know on what basis the jury select songs especially when another singer for the same album received national award, ARR almost came close to winning the award. The way Javed Akhtar said about the unconventional usage of instrumentation especially the way Shehnai was played in the title song is a masterstroke of the genius that he is! It is these small nuances as he said that set apart each and every song of ARR unique from the crowd!
Another point which was included in my research but Javed sahab said the same thing in different angle. Rahman songs are being played much lesser than other songs.. but this is something being done very consciously not necessarily against arr because everything is business. How many people in India wants to listen Dil Se compared to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? The number says Dil Se was sold only 40% of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai..but can u compare the music?? Simple but effective scientific explanation is there.. people can relate to music which they can sing orr Humm easily not being professionally trained singer.. people can sing Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga but can they sing dheemi dheemi?? As Javed sahab said a lot of people came and gave hits .. so for business the hit songs will be played more than any arr song... but music history will remember arr and not the people giving 15 hits in one year I will quote again one of Satyajit Ray's comment "we have backward audience "... In our country Tiger zinda hai will make 500 crores but Film like kahani will make 60 crores..
Unfortunately now a days we do not get to see such a gem .....all we see is Escapist , hero worshipping no plot over the top so called 1000 crore grossing shits
13:12: veteran “kannada” actress. Please. It’s NOT “kannad”. It’s almost 2025. It’s high time we stop this kannad keral cheen nonsense. Just like how it’s not a “Hind” movie but a “Hindi” movie.
he is good singer why? because he is not classically trained to sing... but still sings the emotion of song using his music techniques(rendering 11:00) for songs he belief he can justify, he is definitely not bad singer ,different might be...Unique mostly
Patriotism that days, you dont had to curse Pakistan, you dont had to belittle somone else's religion. It was the inner urge to improve our grassroot conditions.
You worded it so beautifully
Well said, Pal.
Still is❤
The dust will settle
That was due to Nehru's sophisticated bringing up of baby India .
Well said.
Swades is not a film it is Emotion.
Hats off
2004 was such a nice time for India. Politics was not as egregious as it is today. Everything was better.
Thank you for making a special episode for this song. If I am forced to keep only one song in my phone for rest of my life, I will choose Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera without thinking. ❤
I strongly agree to what Mr. Javed Akthar said. ARR should have been bestowed with the Best music and best singer award.
Great episode O2… God bless.. writing an episode of Indian film music documentary..

Never... Swades ine of the classic album
Yes agree. Filmfare jury must have been on something when they choose Mai hoon na over Swades for best music. Its not even a comparison. Swades album was the best of that decade.
Well said,
Main Hoon Na, what a joke..
Guys. Pls mention that ARR has been appointed the president of Trinity college for the next 5 years in your next episode..pls make an exception to our *** media.... our media will cover the gossips but not the real news which should inspire us..
Glad to see your view count is increasing... Keep up the good work...
Why am I still having tears in my eyes??
Because u r a true Pakistani
Very true about ARR deserving all best singer awards for Yeh Jo Des.
great episode as usual.
Mozart of Madras AR Rahman is God's Gift to humanity. Soul stirring music !!!
You didn't include the interviews on the tamil version songs! Madhushree's Kaveriya Kaveriya and hers and Yesudas ji's Thai Sonna

Excellent observations😊
awesome episode. Thanks.
ASHUTOSH SIRS MOVIES HAVE THE BEST SOOTHING BACKGROUND MUSICS WHEATHER IT IS LAGAAN, SWADESH OR JODHA AKBAR , MOHENJODARO
Mohenjo Daro BGM deserved National Award! Masterpiece Background Scores!
That is because of rehman
As you didn't mention other gowariker movies where rehman was not present
Khelen hum jee jaan se
What's your rashee
Panipat

It’s almost 2025. It’s high time we stop this kannad keral cheen nonsense.
Just like how it’s not a “Hind” movie but a “Hindi” movie.
Sorry to say but anchor calling Kaveri Ballal "Kannad" Actress felt like a bug crawled down my spine and ruined the whole mood!
Hum.ko sirf dekhna hai.

I disagree. Eventhough AR Rehman is good composer, but he is bad singer.
he is good singer why?
because he is not classically trained to sing... but still sings the emotion of song using his music techniques(rendering 11:00) for songs he belief he can justify, he is definitely not bad singer ,different might be...Unique mostly
