Dayal’s solo humanised our heroes

The sports film 83 – which is about India’s maiden World Cup triumph on June 25, 1983 – released on Christmas Eve in 2021.

If the six tracks from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as the descending order of their durations, Bigadne De would be the first – it was four minutes and 18 seconds long.

The song – which captured the happy-go-lucky attitude of Kapil Dev’s teammates (who were the underdogs at that point) – was rendered by Benny Dayal.

It was written by Ashiesh Pandit, and was composed by Pritam.
