It was a Mishra solo

Sakht Jaan – from 83 – was three minutes and 52 seconds long.

The track encapsulated the resolve of each member of the Indian cricket team to give his 100 per cent in every match of the 1983 World Cup, and bring the trophy home.

There’s no two ways about the fact that Pritam, who composed the song, was sakht (which, in this context, could be translated to, “Firm”) about all the six songs in the film being male solos.

And this track (which was written by Jaideep Sahni) was no different – (Am)it was rendered by Mishra.
