This Sing(h)er couldn’t be ignored

Of the three contributions of lyricist Manoj Muntashir to the soundtrack of Bhuj: The Pride of India, Desh Mere was the shortest – it was three minutes and 23 seconds long.

With the best singers in the Hindi film music industry coming together for the album, it wouldn’t have been fair to deny one Sing(h)er his share of the credit.

And that was none other than Arijit.

In a way, the man who composed it was the musical antithesis of Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (because he actually trained as a doctor, before spreading joy) – Arko Pravo Mukherjee.
