This song ‘ Sathi re, bhai re, kadam kadam se dil se dil mila rahe hain hum’ has been sung with great feeling by Mukesh, Mahendra Kapoor, Lata Mangeshkar and Meena Kappor, the last mentioned being a great singer who has been somewhat forgotten.The lyric is by Sahir Ludhianvi. The first of these is from the film Char Dil Char Rahen (1959), a much appreciated film of K.A. The use of chorus greatly adds to the collective feeling inspired by the first two songs we discuss here. Songs of solidarity often tend to be sung together and chorus increases the impact of these songs. Decades after these were created, these songs still continue to inspire. This is certainly true of the five great songs from classic Hindi films we discuss here.

There will always be more struggles where these will be hummed and sung to strengthen resolve and unity. Share on WhatsApp Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Telegram Share on Reddit Share on Email
