We are glad to support your efforts in creating this awareness.”
“The spread of the novel coronavirus is concerning, if not downright scary. As a community, we are a social bunch and being hammered to follow Covid-19 protocols has really taken a toll. We need to remember that we will rise above this. “Samjho Bharatwasi,” offers a glimpse of two separate scenarios, one following the protocols and another violating protocols.” said Lal Bhatia, the creative producer of “Samjho Bharatwasi,” and Chairman of David & Goliath Films.
Imran Zaki, Director, David & Goliath Films said: “Just because the whole world has hit pause, we don’t necessarily believe David & Goliath Films should do the same. We wanted to cut through the noise and produce “Samjho Bharatwasi,” the music video is a summation of all things positive In these tough times, giving a clear message that the future can be bright and beautiful if we use the current protocols to re-look at and re-think on various facets of life.”
Maestro Bickram Ghosh said: “As we are gradually getting accustomed to the new normal, we need to realize the importance of abiding by the safety protocols to stop the spread. This music video brings forth the same message and I’m happy that I composed this light-hearted song as it reflects the essence of life after lockdown.”
M.K. Singh – “It is my pleasure to be a part of this noble endeavour by David & Goliath Films. I’m happy that my lyrics found such a beautiful expression, and hope that the lyrics succeed in reaching out with the desired message that the music video is trying to deliver.”
Joydeep Sen, Director of the Video said: “This was my first proper music video that I was directing. Honestly I was quite nervous as to how the entire thing will pan out. But my Creative Producer had the calming influence on me, and ensured that I do a good job. I am very eager to see what and how the audience will react. Bickram Da has composed a wonderful track, and the entire team has done a commendable job. This video leaves a very important message which we all must follow with the situation surrounding us. I really hope the audience and our Bharatwasis love it.”
