Here’s how AR Rahman reacted as team India champions sang ‘Vande Mataram’ at Wankhede stadium | Hindi Movie News

AR Rahman’s legacy extends far beyond his numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, two Grammy awards, a BAFTA award, and a Golden Globe. His ability to craft music that resonates deeply with audiences, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers, has cemented his status as one of the most influential composers of our time.
Recently, Rahman’s most iconic number was crooned by Indian cricket players as they celebrated their victory in the T20 world cup.Their stirring rendition of ‘Vande Mataram‘ quickly went viral. Reacting to it, Rahman shared a clip of the celebration with a string of emojis.

Bharat Bala, who collaborated with Rahman on the original Maa Tujhe Salaam music video, expressed his own overwhelming feelings on Instagram and wrote, “Really emotional to see an anthem created 27 years ago continues to fire the nation.”
The Vande Mataram album, released in 1997 to mark the 50th anniversary of India’s independence, has become a timeless symbol of patriotism and unity. The title track, sung by Rahman himself, has become one of the country’s most beloved and widely performed songs. When the album was first released, Rahman had stated that he would dedicate it to the future generations of India. Over a quarter-century later, the music’s ability to inspire and unite the nation has only grown stronger.
The song’s two Guinness World Records – for being performed in the most languages individually and with a chorus – are a testament to its universal appeal.
