MUMBAI: Artiste First is proud to launch “I Am Jaadugar,” the latest release by Alif (Mohammad Muneem Nazir). This enchanting song brings to life the heartfelt journey of a young boy, whose boundless imagination is nurtured by his grandmother, while the world, and particularly his mother, urges him toward more conventional paths. The track also marks the on-screen return of the iconic Farida Jalal, who plays the boy’s grandmother—a role reminding of her unforgettable presence in Shaka Laka Boom Boom, a series that captured the magic of a child’s imagination.
At the heart of the song is the simple yet powerful reminder: “Jaadugar hai tu”—You are a magician. It’s not just a song; it’s a reminder to keep believing in our magic, no matter how loud the world becomes.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Mohammad Muneem shared, “This song is very close to my heart. It’s about love, belief, and the special bond I had with my grandmother. She always saw magic in everything I did, even when others couldn’t. She would always remind me “Obras chu waav dawa” ( for dark clouds & heavy rains strong winds are medicine ) keep sharing.”
