Badhte Chalo: 'Sam Bahadur's new song is a rousing anthem that will remind you of the 'Lakshya' title track

Meghana Gulzar's highly anticipated film, Sam Bahadur, featuring Vicky Kaushal as India's revered Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, has unveiled its inaugural track, "Badhte Chalo," offering a captivating glimpse into the film's musical landscape.

From the looks of it, Badhte Chalo stands out not only for its melodious composition but also for the formidable trio of vocalists - Shankar Mahadevan, Vishal Dadlani, and Divya Kumar - who bring their distinct talents to the forefront. The heartfelt composition by the musical maestros Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, combined with the poetic finesse of Gulzar's lyrics, creates a touching track that resonates with the spirit of the film.

The song serves as a poignant tribute to the commitment and tireless efforts of military personnel during the intense preparations leading up to the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War. Vicky Kaushal's on-screen charisma takes centre stage in the accompanying music video, where his dynamic portrayal vividly depicts his character motivating and encouraging soldiers, adding depth and emotion to the narrative.

In addition to Kaushal, "Sam Bahadur" boasts a stellar cast, including Fatima Sana Shaikh portraying the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Sanya Malhotra bringing to life the character of Sam Manekshaw's wife. As the film promises a riveting portrayal of historical events, it is set to grace the cinema screens on December 1, 2023.
