 Beverage brand Mountain Dew is all set to salute India’s resilient spirit this Independence Day with a rendition of the timeless anthem of patriotism, ‘Yeh Desh Hai Veer Jawaano Ka’ from Saregama. Mountain Dew’s take on the powerful anthem has been composed by music producer/composer Ram Sampath, and features soul stirring vocals from Bollywood singer Sukhwinder Singh. The lyrics of the rendition, written by renowned lyricist Swanand Kirkire, reiterate the brand philosophy of Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai® and salutes the nation’s spirit of emerging victorious in the face of fear. 

 

Set to the lyrics, “Yeh Desh Hai Veer Jawaano Ka, Albelo ka Mastano ka, Yahan Sadiyon Se Ye Reet Hai Ji, Har Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai Ji”, the video features stills of some of independent India’s most defining moments be it the  1983 cricket world cup, the launch of the homegrown Mangalyaan, A.R Rahman’s Oscar win or the bravado of the real heroes facing the current times - all of which are testimony to the resilience of India and a reminder on how we will be victorious again and come out of the challenging times we are facing today.
