This Music Director’s Brilliance Will Be on Display at Kartavya Path, Giving a New Tune to Vande Mataram

New Delhi: This year is going to be very special for India’s pride and Oscar-winning musician MM Keeravani. On one hand, he is making headlines worldwide for his upcoming film ‘Varanasi’, and on the other hand, he has received an honor that every Indian artist dreams of.

This year, Keeravani’s music will resonate in the air of Kartavya Path during the Republic Day parade. This occasion is even more special because it marks the 150th anniversary of the patriotic song ‘Vande Mataram’. To make this historic occasion memorable, Keeravani has composed a special tune.

Keeravani’s Music to be Featured on January 26th
Announcing this on X (formerly Twitter), Keeravani wrote, “On the 150th anniversary of the famous song Vande Mataram, I feel deeply honored and privileged to compose the music for the Republic Day parade on January 26th under the Ministry of Culture. This grand performance will be presented by 2,500 artists from across India. Stay tuned to celebrate the spirit of our nation — Vande Mataram.”
