“Animal” film starrer Ranbir Kapoor’s entry music, an instrumental version remix of “Chhoti Si Aasha” by Threeory band, has recalled memories of the 1982 Tamil & Hindi classic “Roja” for many film lovers, even those who haven’t seen or heard of it.
“Roja,” considered one of the best films in Indian cinema, starred Madhoo as Roja, a village girl, and Arvind Swamy as Rishi, a cryptologist. Nassar delivered a powerful performance as Colonel.
The story revolves around love and peace and the consequences of Rishi’s kidnapping by militants in Kashmir.
Mani Ratnam’s masterful direction is complemented by a top-notch score and soundtrack by the then-debutant A.R. Rahman, marking a significant shift in Indian music. All songs became super hits, and the BGM received high praise.
The film, conveying a message of peace in the context of the Kashmir conflict, effectively portrays the simple yet powerful message of love, peace, and understanding, highlighting the human cost of violence.
Don’t miss this internationally and nationally acclaimed film, now available on OTT platforms like Amazon Prime, Zee5, and Netflix.
