Mumbai: The first song from the highly-anticipated Ranveer Singh-starrer ’83’ titled ‘Lehra Do’ has been released.
The patriotic track starts off with the Indian cricket team getting battered by the perilous bowling attack of the West Indies, before Arijit Singh’s hair raising vocals swiftly make their way to the listeners’ hearts.
The song composed by Pritam with lyrics penned by Kausar Munir, traces the journey of the Indian team’s lowest point to their rise in the 1983 World Cup when the team left the entire world shell-shocked with their grit, endurance and iron-clad will to win as they turned the tournament on its head.
