It (Srini)vas the composer’s (Rah)mantra

Chale Chalo – Hindi for keep going forward – was a song from Lagaan, the 2001 film whose tagline was Once Upon a Time in India.

It was six minutes and 40 seconds long. Although a song of that duration has the tendency to become preachy, this track didn’t.

Being a song about teamwork, it would be unfair if there were no mentions of the team that collaborated on it.

Javed Akhtar penned it.

The song wasn’t just composed, but also rendered by A R Rahman. He was joined behind the microphone by Srinivas and a chorus.
