Bollywood director Madhur Bhandarkar’s film, Indu Sarkar explicitly manages to recreate an infamous chapter in the history of India.
Through the trailer of the film, the director managed to teleport us back to a time when the country was hit by the Emergency period. The movie’s new song “Dilli Ki Raat” which released today is a perfect reminder of not just the political crisis that the nation faced then, but even the classic Bollywood, as we see grim glimpses of actors Kirti Kulhari, Tota Roy Chaudhary, Anupam Kher and Neil Nitin Mukesh. Featuring Bappi Lahiri, the video also has Miss India Tourism, Ishika Taneja grooving to the beats of its retro track.
The flow in the music jumps from one emotion to another, thereby appearing to stitch together two different videos – one which runs is a disco number complete with glittery crystal balls, and the other with juxtaposing visuals from the film trying to hint us about the intense plot.
