Agnee and Shruthikkaa Films launched the music of Janki Vishwanathan’s film Yeh Hai Bakrapur at a high octane event held at The Blue Frog, Mathuradas Mills, Lower Parel on the 21st of April 2014. The event was attended by the children from Dharavi Rocks, the cast and crew of the film including Anshuman Jha, Asif Basra, Yoshika Verma and Shahrukh, the goat.
In an unprecedented gesture, the producers of the film and Agnee decided to have the CD launched by all the kids from Dharavi Rocks instead of the normal industry personalities who are called on a regular basis to launch film music albums.
The film is a political satire set against the backdrop of rural India. A multi-layered film, it is based on the complex belief systems that prevail in Indian society and the conflicts that ensue thereon. Keeping in mind the theme and relevance of the film, Mohan from Agnee said, “ Yeh Hai Bakrapur has a serious message but the film speaks about it in a fun way. When Janaki Vishwanathan approached us for the music of the film, the first reaction we had was to want to associate ourselves with this project… right after we said “Wow.” It’s truly a fun and sweet film and a project we’re proud to be associated with. Hence immediately decided to do this pro bono. “Koco added, “While Agnee agreed to do the music pro bono, what we didn’t expect was for our featuring artists to show the same solidarity and join us in our endeavour. We’re super excited that Amit Kilam and Rahul Ram from Indian Ocean, Keerthi Sagathia, Raghu Ram, Abbas Tyrewala and Panchhi Jalonvi have joined us and have truly made this experience super fun and super memorable.”
