Music In The Mountains: Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe

We are forever grateful to our brave soldiers for guarding the borders of our country. They live and work in inhabitable locales under difficult conditions to provide safety and security to their fellow countrymen and women. We always wish well for them, but just as we send our wishes to people on their birthdays even though we mean it all through the year; we express our gratitude to our soldiers on a day like this when we celebrate our Independence Day.

Presenting a song from "Lakshya" (2004) today. It is a war drama that tells the story of an aimless man who gets transformed into a focused army officer due to the circumstances in his life. The events in the film are set against a fictional backdrop of the Kargil War. But the dedication, determination and valour of the men is as real as can be!

Today's song is from a different era, when many things in the world of Hindi films had begun to change. Films started featuring a galaxy of stars. They were produced keeping the non-resident Indians in mind, with a part of the story taking place in some foreign land. They got released in several cities across the world, ensuring a wider reach amongst their audiences. "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham"(2001) belonged to this new era. Popularly known as K3G, this was a commercially successful film. Enjoy a peppy dance number from this film.
