Sanjay Leela Bhansali brings his signature grandeur, opulent sets, breath-taking costumes, and top notch composition to ‘Azadi’ with heart touching and goosebump-worthy lyrics by A M Turaz. The musical prowess of “Azadi” is further accentuated by the stellar vocal performances of Archana Gore, Pragati Joshi, Arohi, Aditi Paul, Tarannum, and Aditi Prabhudesai. Enriched with traditional instrumentation such as the dhol and pakhawaj, the song is an original composition by the celebrated filmmaker and promises to move the patriot in you.

As Heermandi’s “Azadi” takes center stage, Sanjay Leela Bhansali reaffirms his status as one of India’s cinematic luminaries. With its compelling narrative, captivating visuals, and soul-stirring music, the song stands as a testament to Bhansali’s unparalleled creativity and artistic vision, solidifying his position as a gem in the crown of Indian cinema.
