Every Conversation Matters- 25 Years of Timeless Music
This 2026 World Music Day, there was another occasion to celebrate—the 25th anniversary of Lagaan. I sat down to listen to the conversation between the maestro A.R. Rahman, lyricist Javed Akhtar, director Ashutosh Gowariker, and producer Aamir Khan. They spoke about how the songs came into being in a time with no internet, no cell phones, no advanced technology, and no Dolby sound.
There was one discussion about Ghanan Ghanan, the first song that sets the storyline of the film. More often than not, it is interpreted as a call to the rain gods, filled with hope and a longing to rid the people of despair. Twenty-five years later, the song holds so much more meaning than just the wait for rain.
As I listened to the 6-minute-11-second composition, I was reminded of another song created by the same duo of A.R. Rahman and Javed Akhtar—Yeh Tara Wo Tara, which runs for 7 minutes and 11 seconds. Two iconic films by the same director, yet what stands out in both is the genius of composer A.R. Rahman and lyricist Javed Akhtar.
In the celebratory video marking 25 years of Lagaan, Javed Akhtar points out that what makes A.R. Rahman’s compositions special is their unpredictability. He uses Ghanan Ghanan as an example. In the same breath, I would also mention Yeh Tara Wo Tara.
Compositions like Yeh Tara Wo Tara stand apart because of the earthy feeling they evoke. Yeh Tara Wo Tara changes the chorus as the same was done with Ghanan Ghanan in Lagaan. This made me realise the magic of the music I grew up with, which focuses heavily on rhythm and a chorus that a regular listener can hum.
The song has been reprised over the years and arranged in different styles. But believe it or not, the majority of Hindi music lovers still go back to the original soundtrack.
It isn’t because they want to pay homage to A.R. Rahman or Javed Akhtar. The song, through its lyrics and melody, does exactly what its music video shows—it brings a community together. As listeners, we begin to realise the depth of its lyrics.
It definitely isn’t the Shah Rukh Khan fan in me speaking. Many people don’t like either film but absolutely love the music albums of both.
This celebration made me realise what A.R. Rahman and Javed Akhtar have been creating for us over the last 25 years. Five years after Lagaan, Swades was released. At the time, the film wasn’t fully understood. But what has remained timeless is its music.
Another aspect about the duo that remains special is that they didn’t dumb down or underestimate the listeners when it came to music. They flowed against the stream; they gave us song styles that are used to date, when it comes to composition.
Music Albums like these don’t just come one day. They have grown over many years of training, work, and well, staying honest to its core.
I am sharing the lyrics here of both the songs Ghanan Ghanan and Yeh Tara Wo Tara to understand what Javed Akhtar tries to say in this video.

25 years from that shameful event, beyond the horrors of turture and police violence, even a worst outcome has come to pass, which the author clearly spells out:
"Ma quel che è peggio: quasi nessuno ricorda più perché eravamo lì."
("Even worst: almost nobody remembers why we were there")The back-then Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi, to me the precursor to Trump and the Epstein class, set the tone of the new millenium clear and straight:

Hier ist die MP3 dazu.
Ich weiß nicht ob mir das so gefällt, aber ich bekomme es nicht besser hin."Ein neuer Tag"
Damit schließe ich #25Years ab, werde aber natürlich weiter #ZeitImKeller verbringen. Mal sehen was dann kommt.

Das sollte der Text für den Song "Ein neuer Tag" sein.
Morgen mache ich daraus ein Lied. -
Hier teile ich nochmal meinen bisher einzigen Song mit Mandoline.
Ich finde die ja so schwer zu spielen. Wenn ich wieder zuhause bin, dann mach ich erstmal den letzten Song für #25Years fertig und schau ob da noch was in die Richtung geht.

Ich hab den Song am Ende "Inside my mind" genannt. Ich hab nicht wirklich mit ihm gerechnet und irgendwie verwirrt er mich auch. Aber jetzt ist er eben da.
