The movie ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ is one of the cult classic film of Bollywood and its song Dil Chahta Hai till date remains one of the best anthem song of friendship. The song was released in 2001 and 20 years from then it still sounds fresh and full of liveliness. Farhan Akhtar has now shared a funky version of the song created by the Indian Ensemble at Berklee College of Music ft. Shankar Mahadevan to support the Indian musicians and singers in these challenging times.
Farhan Akhtar wrote on twitter, ” Dil Chahta is back, and HOW! Thrilled to collaborate on this funky version by @Shankar_live with @berkleeindiaexchange. Video by @btosproductions! Each view helps someone in need so please SHARE! #BIXCOVIDFUND #berkleeindianensemble”
The song starts with Aamir Khan who claims Dil Chahta Hai to be one of his favourite song till date. He wishes that the people suffering during these tough times should be relieved soon.
A total of 112 musicians, actors, industry leaders and Berklee students across 21 countries came together for this and have tried to send messages of hope and positivity to everyone through the song. Each one of them has showed his/her ‘DIL CHAHTA HAI’ moment.
The song has been presented by Berklee India Exchange and T Series. It is an initiative to support the marginalised Indian artists whose lives have been deeply affected due to Corona. Indian artists from folk musicians to instrument makers, everyone’s life has come to a standstill due to the lockdown. T Series will donate all the proceeds from this song for this special cause and will help support these artists in need.
