The Freedom Anthem is here – presenting “Azaadi Ke Liye” the title track of Amazon Original The Forgotten Army – Azaadi Ke Liye. Composed by Pritam, featuring the soulful voices of Arijit Singh and Tushar Joshi with lyrics written by Shloke Lal and Kausar Munir.
Pritam said “Kabir and I go back a long way and he has always been extremely passionate about this story! It is an absolute honour to be composing music for The Forgotten Army – Azaadi Ke Liye. The song, Azaadi Ke Liye is a stirring tribute to the forgotten brave hearts of the Azaad Hind Fauj. What makes this project even more special is knowing that this has been an idea that Kabir has nurtured for nearly two decades!”
Created and Directed by Kabir Khan, The Forgotten Army – Azaadi Ke Liye features Sunny Kaushal and Sharvari as leads and releases on Amazon Prime Video on the 24th of January 2020.
The Forgotten Army – Azaadi Ke Liye, is based on the true story of Indian soldiers who marched towards the capital, with the war cry ‘Challo Dilli’, to free their country from the reign of the British. The Indian National Army (INA), which was forged out of British defeat in Singapore during WWII, was led by the charismatic Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and had the first ever women infantry regiment anywhere in the world. While these soldiers (men and women) fought against all odds and against the British army to free India, their struggle and story somehow got lost and they became ‘the forgotten army’. With the love story between two soldiers – Sodhi & Maya at the heart of it, the series raises several questions about identity, independence and the idea of motherland and the cost of freedom. Freedom, that we often take for granted but freedom that costs countless lives and sacrifices.
