Mr Mahadevan's son didn’t (Sha)shine

Hindustani, from the unreleased film Dus, has been giving every desi goosebumps since 1997. Lyricist Sameer and composers Shankar-Ehsan-Loy deserved the lion’s share of the credit for that.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that its recreated version – which was the only song from PM Narendra Modi (2019) on this blog – lacked the impact of the original, which was rendered by Shankar Mahadevan.

His son, Siddharth Mahadevan, did no justice to this version.

Shashi Suman joined him behind the microphone.

Parry G rendered the rap portion.

Sardaara penned the Shashi-Khushi composition, which was three-and-a-half-minutes long.
