The music world in India is buzzing today after the release of a lively new song titled “Hi Jawani Kacchi” from the upcoming film Gandhi Talks, composed by Oscar-winning maestro A.R. Rahman. The track, unveiled as part of the movie’s promotional rollout, features high-energy performances by actors Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Siddharth Jadhav dancing to the beat, bringing fresh excitement to audiences ahead of the film’s January 30 release.
Fans and music lovers have praised the composition for its rhythmic appeal and vibrant arrangement, highlighting Rahman’s enduring ability to blend contemporary sound with cinematic storytelling.
The song’s video has quickly gained traction on social media, with viewers sharing clips and reactions that emphasize the track’s catchy hooks and danceable vibe.
Hi Jawani Kacchi marks one of Rahman’s first major public releases of 2026, keeping his signature musical style in the spotlight as the music community watches what he will do next.
Alongside this song release, educational music events continue across India — including a three-day tabla workshop on Punjab Gharana techniques at Banaras Hindu University, led by celebrated percussionist Ustad Fazal Qureshi, which wrapped up today.
The workshop brought attention to traditional Indian rhythms and improvised styles, enriching understanding among aspiring musicians and students of classical music.
Music aficionados are also gearing up for the Lollapalooza India festival in Mumbai this weekend, featuring an expansive lineup of global and local acts, including Linkin Park’s historic India debut — making January an especially vibrant month for live music in the country.
These developments — from film song releases to immersive educational events and major festivals — reflect the diversity and energy of India’s music scene today, appealing to both pop fans and classical tradition enthusiasts alike.
