Trust the AmaAl Malik to attack chords with the audience with the music at any time! The composer has collected praise from all the quarter for its newest track, ‘Tum Aaogey’ from the ‘Bell Bottom’ Akshay Kumar-Starrer.
In exclusive interactions with Etime, he spilled the nuts on what made a different song, was recognized by the legendary Ar Rahman, and more.
Quote:

People love ‘tum aaogey’.
How does it feel? I am really emotional because this is my 90 career song, but it feels like my first release.
‘Bell Bottom’ is a very special film and compiling for it is an honor.
This story requires a strong, simple, but emotional melody and I have to give it all.
This time even more so I will return with Akshay Sir and Nikkhil Advani almost five years after ‘airlift’.
It also marked my brother’s debut Armaan Malik as the voice of Akshay Kumar, and also my first film for the Pooja film.
There are certain honesty and purity in this melody that will remain with listeners.
I am happy that in just one day from the release of people celebrating songs and with the type of reaction I get, it seems they are really connected to him.
What kind of reaction do you get? Young boys and women have sent me DMS and tweets about how emotional the song makes it, but also heal it in a way.
So many of them have family, friends, and relatives in the Army, and they are related to every song.
They have sent me a paragraph about how the song made it go well from the first line.
I think a lot of credit is given to this songwriter, Rashmi Virag, which has been made beautifully every verse; Not a single random lyrics or not in place.
Kudos to Azeem Dayani, music supervisor who heard the rough version and reacted directly.
I am happy that my director is Ranjit (Tewari) sir, producer – everyone immediately likes the song; This video is also very emotional.
Ar Rahman also shared a song …
Ar Rahman shared the song was enough for me to believe in me as an artist again.
He is an Indian music boss and productive composer – someone all countries and the world looks.
His support means the world for me.

What makes ‘tum aaogey’ different? ‘Tum Aaogey’ is not just another patriotic song sung to preach patriotism.
The release only coincided with Independence Day and Rakshabandhan.
This is an emotional song with simple words and hit hard, and pure vocal rendition.
This is more than a homecoming song, sung in the hope that our hero returns home safely from war.
This is a song about confidence, it is a song for every relationship – husband and wife, father-child, love for a sister, lover’s longing.
‘Tum Aaogey’ feels like a hug of a true friend when you are down.
Which patriotic song is your favorite of all time? I really liked ‘Teri Mitti’ by Arko Mukherjee and ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam’ by Rahman sir.
