Dil diya hai jaan bhi denge
This song featured in Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Naseeruddin Shah’s film Karma, which released way back in 1986. M. Aziz & Kavita Krishnamurthy have sung this melodious number which became a national rage back then. Music composer Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyricist Anand Bakshi have depicted the feeling of patriotism beautifully in this track.
Bharat humko jaan se pyaara hai
Sung by Hariharan, this song is from the 1992 hit film Roja and was composed by none other than the Mozart of Madras, A.R Reheman. The patriotic number advocates the feeling of brotherhood and what makes it edgy is the sudden change of tempo.
Rang de basanti
This song from Aamir Khan starrer Rang De Basanti was also composed by AR Rahman and written by Prasoon Josh. Though it’s not a typical patriotic number, Rang de basanti was an instant hit amongst the masses, courtesy its peppy music and beautiful lyrics. In fact, this popular track was used during a flash mob dance at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai on November 27, 2011, in honour of those who died in the 26/11 attacks on the city.
Yeh jo desh hai tera, swades hai tera
Javed Akhtar’s meaningful lyrics and AR Rahman’s amazing singing makes this soulful track fromSwades a classic. The song oozes patriotism, despite its petal soft vocals
Vande mataram
This list would be incomplete if we didn’t mention AR Rahman’s soul stirring rendition of Vande mataram. The musical genius reinvented the national song and how! He truly succeeded in capturing the true essence of India in it. Even today Rahman’s engaging version finds place in most people’s playlist.
