Some of my (patriotic!) room mates who had no holiday on this 26-jan usually woke up early and as usual set in front of TV for 10 minutes and crapped my sleep.
I thought to see the TV too coz when in my early days i used to get up early on 26 january and got to see republic day parade and all those default stuff broadcast by DD (Golden Days).
This time when he(my roommate) sticked to a channel zoom channel where my ears felt some nostalgia. Every sunday morning i used to see Rangoli and than immediate after rangoli, there was a song comming out called Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, I got to here around the same tune i got up and got to see 'Phil' mile sur mera tumhara. You won’t believe i got to see the whole video around (16 minutes).
Initially when the maestro(AR Rahman) himself came continuum fingerboard, i was excited thinking Sir came with new creation, but later on when i seen the whole video, i thought is this Rahman or Bala or Kanika, i thought NO Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.. its a Crapppp..
And, Thank God, i was right;
Here is the details of so called complete "Phil Mile Sur Mera Tumhara"

Coming to the other aspects of the song, apart from the musical lineup I didn’t feel that justice was done in any other aspect. The celebs shown were chosen more for their glam value I felt, than for their contributions to the industry.
God knows when our sur will really meet !
Have a Great Day ahead.
