Suchitra Krishnamoorthi: ‘Vande Mataram’ Is Not Just Music, It’s Heartbeat

MUMBAI- Actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has unveiled her latest artistic offering, an original composition inspired by the national song Vande Mataram.

Released on August 14, the eve of India’s Independence Day, the track captures the timeless spirit of patriotism while weaving in a deep sense of devotion.

Suchitra said, “For me, Vande Mataram is not just music — it is breath, it is heartbeat, it is the pulse of a billion dreams. I wanted to create something that feels like the nation’s own prayer — tender enough to soothe, powerful enough to stir.”

The phrase ‘Vande Mataram’, written in 1876 by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee as India’s national song, has inspired generations and fueled the freedom movement.

Suchitra’s ‘Vande Mataram’ pays homage to that legacy while being a wholly new musical creation, composed and sung by her, blending the sanctity of classical Indian music with the freshness of contemporary fusion.

The music video is a visual celebration of India’s beauty and diversity from sweeping landscapes and AI-enhanced imagery to intimate human moments.

This release follows her bestselling memoir ‘Drama Queen’ making history as India’s first musical audiobook on Audible Worldwide, a vibrant theatrical journey written, narrated, and performed by her. (IANS)
