Kesari (2019)[edit]
Teri Mitti is a patriotic Hindi song, which features in the 2019 movie Kesari, based on the Battle of Saragarhi. Manoj Muntashir wrote the lyrics, Arko composed the music and it was sung by B Praak.[1][2]
The song made headlines in the press in India in February 2020, when following its nomination for the 2020 Filmfare Award for best lyrics, the award went to someone else. When Muntashir tweeted his disappointment at the decision which he said had reduced both himself and Indians to tears, he gained support from public and other lyricists including Neelesh Mishra and Neha Bhasin.[3][4][5][6] The message he tweeted contained verses from the song itself; "Dear Awards...Even if I try all my life. I won't be able to write a better song than #TeriMitti, a better line than.. 'Tu Kahti Thee Tera Chaand Hoon Main Aur Chaand Humesha Rahta hai' . You failed to honor the words which made millions of Indians cry and care for their motherland.[7][8]
Female version (2019)[edit]
On 17 April 2019, a female version of the song was released. It was sung by Parineeti Chopra; the second of her recordings, the first being "Maana ke hum yaar nahin" from the film Meri Pyaari Bindu.[9][10] One of the earliest comments came from her cousin Priyanka Chopra.[11]
Reprise (2020)[edit]
On 23 April 2020, actor Akshay Kumar announced that the original song had inspired a reprise and that a music video would be released the next day, as a tribute to healthcare workers, police and other essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic in India and India's lockdown, which advised people in India to stay at home.[12][13][14] On the same day, director Karan Johar released a teaser to the song, attaching a message that read: "they are fighting to keep us safe and for that, we are forever grateful. A tribute from our hearts to theirs."[15]
The tribute version was produced with the collaboration of Johar's Dharma Productions and Zee Studios. Muntashir, Arko and Praak retuned to write the lyrics, compose the music and perform the song, respectively, and Kumar contributed with a performance in the video. On 24 April, the video was shared by Kumar on Twitter, with the caption "सुना था डॉक्टर्स भगवन का रूप होते है लेकिन कोरोना वायरस की इस लड़ाई में देख भी लिया l #TeriMitti Tribute - an ode to our heroes in white, out now."[16][17] The video contains images and videos of events captured during the pandemic in India. In addition, footage of attacks on medical staff are shown.[18][15] Upon its release, actor Hrithik Roshan responded by describing it as "heartfelt".[19][20] With an image of a doctor embracing a map of India, India.com described it as "magic [that] will leave you teary eyed".[21]
