MUMBAI: The first song from Chidiya, Aye Dil Ki Nanhi Chidiya, is out now — a soul-stirring melody that echoes the heart of the film: the quiet courage of young dreamers and the poetry of longing.
Composed by Shailendra Barve and sung with delicate intensity by Divya Kumar, the song blends innocence with ache. The lyrics — penned by director Mehran Amrohi — are an intimate reflection of the film’s emotional core, where childhood meets resilience.
“The idea was to create a song that feels like a whisper from our younger selves — something warm, familiar, and aching with hope,” says director Mehran Amrohi, who comes from a literary lineage of poets like Jaun Elia and Naseem Amrohi.
Composer Shailendra Barve adds, “There’s a simplicity and truth in Mehran’s story that I wanted to retain in the music. It had to be delicate but rich with feeling — a song that lives in the silences between childhood and adulthood.”
Chidiya has quietly found its way into hearts around the world — resonating with audiences beyond borders for its universality, emotional truth, and the grace with which it speaks of childhood, loss, and imagination.
The track is deeply rooted in the heart of the story, where the film follows two brothers who dream of playing badminton, and reimagine a junkyard into their court using nothing but courage and imagination. Releasing in selected cinemas across India on May 23, 2025, Chidiya is a love letter to the wonder of childhood — and the quiet heroes who keep that wonder alive.
