Kunal Kemmu’s Melodic Journey in ‘Madgaon Express’ Resonates with Childhood Dreams


The multifaceted actor Kunal Kemmu is eagerly anticipating the premiere of his directorial endeavor, ‘Madgaon Express’. Adding another dimension to his cinematic creation, he has showcased his vocal talents in the heartfelt song ‘Hum Yahin’ from the movie’s soundtrack.

Kunal Kemmu’s ‘Madgaon Express’ looks to be a promising addition to the roster of Indian cinema, but it’s not merely the plot that has fans excited. Kunal has added a personal touch to the project by lending his voice to the poignant track ‘Hum Yahin’, which forms part of the film’s emotional core. The song, a product of Kemmu’s own penmanship, offers a soothing balm for the heart and food for the soul, as its lyrics beautifully articulate the essence of a life’s journey filled with cherished moments among friends.

Taking to Instagram on a recent Monday, Kunal revealed the music video that accompanies the track, stirring memories and pulling at heartstrings with its underlying sentimentality. Accompanying the song’s release, he shared a heartfelt message with his followers, dedicating the tune to the collective dreams shared in youth. The post noted, “For all the dreams that came true and the ones that are still being worked on. Friends are what make us laugh out loud and help us through the tough times. So, this is for all the ‘Bachpan Ke Sapne’ that you had with your friends. #HumYahin Out Now.”

Kemmu’s comprehensive involvement in the film’s creative process extends to color and design as well. During a previous interaction with IANS, he delved into the psychology of color within ‘Madgaon Express’, particularly pointing to the powerful impression of red hues. “Red is a strong color… The use of red is to show power,” Kunal explained, elucidating how confident individuals gravitate toward vibrant tones, whereas the less self-assured may opt for subdued shades to blend into the background.

He recollected the meticulous planning that went into the film’s pre-production phase, revealing the extensive time invested in deciding the characters’ wardrobe to achieve a specific aesthetic. Kunal recounted the initial overwhelming aspect of the process but soon found delight and engagement in the collaborative artistry that filmmaking demands.

‘Madgaon Express’ is not just a feather in the cap for Kunal Kemmu as a director and vocalist but also sets the stage for a stellar cast, including Pratik Gandhi, Avinash Tiwary, Nora Fatehi, and Divyendu. The film, a comedy-drama nestled within the panorama of Indian cinema, chronicles the rollercoaster escapades of three childhood friends. The trio’s innocuous trip to Goa descends into an escapade entangled with drug trafficking, combining laughter with suspense.

Penned and shepherded by Kunal himself, ‘Madgaon Express’ is brought to life under the auspices of producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar at Excel Entertainment. With promises of twists and a bellyful of laughs, the film edges closer to its theatrical debut on March 22, setting the stage for Kunal’s multipronged talents to shine through.

The excitement within the industry and amongst fans is palpable as Kunal Kemmu embarks on this new journey, one that he has nurtured from concept to screen, and now, to song. ‘Hum Yahin’ is more than a melody; it is a tribute to nostalgia, friendship, and the unyielding pursuit of one’s dreams, echoing the spirit of ‘Madgaon Express’ itself.
