Just
when
people
in
Bollywood
have
written
off
audio
sales,
the
music
of
Kandahar
down
south
has
sold
like
hot
cakes.
The
bilingual
film
Kandahar,
featuring
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Mohanlal,
has
the
music
composed
by
Bollywood
music
composer
Shamir
Tandon.
The
first
lot
of
cassettes
and
CDs
just
sold
off
the
shelves
and
the
record
label
has
manufactured
in
a
hurry
a
new
lot
to
cater
to
the
rising
demand
of
the
music
of
this
film.
The
songs
composed
by
Shamir
Tandon
are
in
Hindi
and
he
was
specially
invited
to
do
this
patriotic
film
given
his
melodic
sensibilities
and
heart
touching
music.
A
special
screening
of
movie
was
recently
held
at
the
Leela
in
Mumbai.
The
leading
stars
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Mohanlal
were
moved
towards
the
end
of
the
film
when
'Naman
Hai'
a
patriotic
song
played
culminating
the
high
point
of
emotions
and
the
coming
together
of
the
two
legends.
Ecstatic
Shamir
Tandon
says,
“I'm
elated
that
I
have
been
invited
by
Major
Ravi
from
the
south,
who
has
delivered
national
award
winning
films.
It
has
given
me
an
opportunity
to
delve
in
the
patriotic
genre
not
attempted
by
me
before." The
lead
song
'Naman
Hai...'
is
about
bowing
down
to
the
motherland
and
our
mother
as
against
the
general
'Salaam
Hai...'
to
the
country,
which
is
a
very
aggressive
approach.
The
music
of
Kandahar
has
caught
on
like
wild
fire
in
Kerela
and
has
been
one
of
the
most
talked
about
points
in
the
film
that
has
been
very
carefully
crafted
with
two
actors
par
excellence
with
the
dedication
song
to
the
nation.
It
has
been
sung
by
Sonu
Nigam
with
fervor
hitting
highest
notes
ever.
He
didn't
charge
Shamir
a
single
penny
given
that
its
a
patriotic
film
and
that
the
song
should
reach
out
to
all
Indians.
Shamir
is
waiting
for
February
when
the
film
scheduled
an
all
India
Hindi
release
when
the
songs
will
be
showcased
in
national
media.
The
film
Kandahar
is
based
on
a
hijack
and
one
wonder
the
scope
of
music,
but
like
in
Shamir's
previous
realistic
films
like
Page
3,
Corporate
and
many
more,
he
has
seamlessly
weaved
in
some
beautiful
songs
by
Kailash
Kher,
Sunidhi
Chauhan
apart
from
Sonu
Nigam.
Shamir
is
pleasantly
surprised
that
Mohanlal
sir
personally
invited
him
and
congratulated
him
on
the
wonderful
music
he
has
made
for
this
film
and
has
invited
him
to
score
music
for
his
next
too.
