After a series of cast reveals, the makers of 1962: The War In The Hills have released the original soundtrack from the show, Hum Shaan Se Jalne Nikle Hai. With music composed by Hitesh Modak, the accompanying video narrates the many sacrifices of a soldier who sets off to serve his country without fearing for his own life.

Singers Vijay Prakash and Salman Ali, along with Hitesh Modak, have collaborated on the main track. Lavraj has penned the lyrics. The six other songs that play throughout the series have been sung by Sukhwinder Singh, Vijay Prakash, Salman Ali, Shailey Bidwaikar, and Shahjan Mujeeb.

Speaking about the album, Hitesh said, “1962: The War in the Hills is an extraordinary tale of love, sacrifice and bravery, and I wanted to bring out the intensity of these emotions through the different songs. The entire album is a diverse collection of tunes, with each song signifying a different feeling – be it grief, happiness or honour.”

Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, the series stars Abhay Deol, Mahie Gill, Akash Thosar, Sumeer Vyas, and many others. It’s inspired by true events from November 1962 when an outnumbered troop of 125 Indian soldiers valiantly fought against a 3000-strong Chinese army.
