As the womanhood
has finally become a movement against all the abuses and atrocities women and
girls face on the daily basis, many singers and filmmakers have used it as an
idea for their stories. While some of these have inspired women to speak out
others have motivated them to believe in their inner strength and stand up
taller in the face of their culprits. One song that is set to become the voice
of millions of women across the country is ‘O
Re Naseeba’ that has released on Tuesday. The song is sung by the melodious
singer Monali Thakur who has not only added the quintessential emotions but
also strength to the lyrics. The song is penned down by Sanjiv Chaturvedi. It
is composed by Sanjeev-Ajay. Krishika Lulla has conceptualised and directed the
heart-wrenching video. O Re Naseeba’s
video depicts the feelings and trauma a woman goes through in different phases
of her life. Not only the words are captivating but various dance forms bring
out the real meaning behind the song. The ballet, Indian classical and
freestyle dance express and voice every single fear and the subsequent
determination of the woman to perfection. The song released under the Eros Now
label.Talking about
the song, Monali Thakur said, “Every time I come across a headline of atrocity
on women, it literally wrenches my gut. The irony is in most of these cases the
culprit is a close relative or friend or an acquaintance of the woman. You lose
faith in your closest group of people and question your destiny. However, O Re Naseeba highlights that after
every night there is a new dawn. Karma catches up to the wrong-doers as well.
They get all the punishment they deserve. Sometimes it is the law and order
system of our country and sometimes it is the justice of God. I just want women
to speak out against any sort of abuse or sexual harassment.” Krishika Lulla, the director of O Re Naseeba who has also
conceptualised the video, told, “I was appalled reading about Nirbhaya back in
2012. Then as women stood up for themselves across the globe and movements like
#TimesUp and #MeToo caught momentum, I wanted Indian women to feel empowered
too. We wanted to send out a message through this song that whatever inhuman
acts these cruel men do, they have to pay for them when a woman finally finds
her strength. I, personally, would like to convey that a lady should always
look over her shoulder and keep an eye out even around her most trusted people.
But she should never blame herself for any of these crimes. She must believe in
Karma and the God who will ultimately serve these heinous criminals right.”O Re
Naseeba released on the official YouTube channel of Eros Now.
