Kangana Ranaut’s political drama Emergency revives 1970s intensity with its debut song, ‘Singhasan Khali Karo’. The track captures the turbulent prelude to India’s 1975 Emergency, a period that tested the nation’s democratic values.
Kangana Ranaut starrer Emergency reignites 1975 uprising with the song ‘Singhasan Khali Karo’
Reviving the anthem ‘Singhasan Khali Karo Ki Janta Aati Hai,’ originally by poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, this track reflects India’s 1975-77 uprising against Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Co-opted by Jayaprakash Narayan, it underscores the power of public dissent in challenging authority.
G.V. Prakash Kumar’s composition reflects the urgency of a nation at a crossroads, while Manoj Muntashir’s lyrics honor democratic ideals. Udit Narayan, Nakash Aziz, and Nakul Abhyankar’s vocals deliver the anthem of dissent, emphasizing the significance of democratic beliefs.
Kangana Ranaut said, “In the 1970s, the people of India rallied together and found their voice in ‘Singhasan Khali Karo’, a slogan that challenged the tyranny of Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s premiership. These were the words of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, celebrated as the poet of rebellion and they became Jayaprakash Narayan’s call for Total Revolution. This clarion call shook the very foundations of power, its aftershocks birthing new parties and ideologies. Every patriot became a foot soldier in the army of democracy and the sentiments of this movement live on in the DNA of Indian politics. It’s incredible to collaborate with maestro G V Prakash, who captured the emotional resonance of this revolution in the song.”
Music composer G V Prakash Kumar said, “Composing ‘Singhasan Khali Karo’ was an extraordinary journey. It is an outcome of diving deep into the raw, revolutionary spirit of the 1970s, and bringing it to life through music is an honour. It was a privilege to work with the immensely talented Manoj Muntashir, whose powerful lyrics capture the essence of resistance and the fight for justice. The experience was made even more memorable by the incredible vocal powerhouse trio of Udit Narayan, Nakash Aziz, and Nakul Abhyankar. Together, we aimed to create a song that not only tributes the struggles of the past but also reminds the masses of their power.”
Written and directed by Kangana Ranaut, Emergency features Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik. Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, the film’s music is by Sanchit Balhara and G.V. Prakash Kumar, with screenplay and dialogues by Ritesh Shah. It is set for release on September 6, 2024.
