“Ghar More Pardesiya”: Alia Bhatt’s performance is recognized by the Academy

Recently, the Academy—which is renowned for honoring cinematic brilliance—sparked a wave of nostalgia by highlighting Alia Bhatt’s elegant rendition of the song “Ghar More Pardesiya” from the 2019 film “Kalank.” Even though the movie didn’t do well at the box office, many were drawn to this song because of Alia’s flawless dance skills and the captivating soundtrack.

The Academy recently released a glimpse of Alia’s captivating performance on Instagram, highlighting the appeal of Indian music and film throughout the world. The caption included a rundown of the song’s credits, praising songwriter Amitabh Bhattacharya and composer Pritam Chakraborty for their contributions.

Many others took notice of the tweet, including Karan Johar’s “Dharma Productions,” which hailed the moment as “iconic.” Alia shared The Academy’s message on her Instagram Story, complete with sun and red heart emojis, as a way to show her appreciation.

The fact that “Ghar More Pardesiya” is the second song with Shreya Ghoshal’s lovely voice to get an Academy Award makes this distinction even more noteworthy. Her performance of “Deewani Mastani” from “Bajirao Mastani” earlier in the film garnered comparable praise, demonstrating the versatility of her voice.

Shreya Ghoshal’s admirers applauded this recognition, highlighting the transcendent, international nature of her voice. Some even conjectured that The Academy may be admirers of her extraordinary abilities.

Abhishek Varman’s “Kalank” had an ensemble cast that included Sonakshi Sinha, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sanjay Dutt, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Varun Dhawan. The movie didn’t have a lasting effect on viewers, even with its impressive cast and marketing.

However, the return of “Ghar More Pardesiya” on The Academy’s platform reminds us of the timeless ability of music and film to enthrall people everywhere, overcoming barriers of language and culture.
