Ultra Media & Entertainment released a music video “Raat Ke Musaafir” featuring vocals by Sona Mohapatra on Independence Day. The song is an ode to the struggles that Indian women face when they dare to dream in the context of safe spaces whenever they work or travel at night.

The music video is produced by Kumar Bharti and directed by Dehradun-based film maker, Ajay Govind.

“Raat Ke Musaafir” features actors Sakshi Hasija, who plays a female cab driver aspiring to become a civil servant and Anupama Sunehria, a young hockey player. To add an authentic touch, the producers invited a hockey coach, Sonal Shah, to train Anupama on set. The video has been shot in Dehradun.

The powerful concept, developed by scriptwriter, Remya Sasindran, delves into the barriers that women face when they have to be out at night to achieve their dreams and how women continue to support each other to make the world a safer place.

The song featured in the video is composed by Nitin Krishna Menon.

Sona Mohapatra said that Raat ke Musaafir immediately struck a chord with her. The narrative, both visually and in the song was about women’s right to public spaces, be it night or day and their right to be able to dream freely and make those dreams come true! There could be no better spirit to celebrate this Independence Day and one that has come right in the middle of a scary pandemic where mutual respect should increase between the genders.

This song has strong electric guitars and is a rock ballad.

The music video released on Ultra Bollywood youtube channel, Gaana, itunes, Spotify, Saavn and other leading platforms.
