I am India: Qaidi Band gives patriotism a new anthem

Qaidi Band — the motley crew of youth seeking freedom with their music while behind bars, launched their song I am India at Gateway of India by posing for a special photograph. Saluting youthful optimism, never say die spirit and freedom as we experience it, this song from the film Qaidi Band is the perfect youth anthem for this season.

A thumping, high-energy track, Habib Faisal has written the lyrics of I am India. Arijit Singh and Yashita Sharma have sung the number and Amit Trivedi has composed the film’s music.

Yash Raj Films’ next, Qaidi Band features Aadar Jain and Anya Singh in the lead. Directed by Habib Faisal, the film is a riveting tale of undertrials who come together to form a band in jail and their music becomes their only hope for freedom.
