Jiyo, Utho, Badho, Jeeto: Rahman beckons Commonwealth

Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto (Live, Rise, Ascend, Win) is music maestro A. R. Rahman’s call to the people and athletes of Delhi, India and the entire Commonwealth. The Oscar winning composer today launched XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi’s theme song in a glittering ceremony held in Gurgaon. Chief Minister of Haryana Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Chief Minister of Delhi Mrs. Sheila Dikshit and Chairman of the Organising Committee Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, MP, also graced the occasion.

The amphitheatre echoed with applauds as Rahman took centre-stage and sang the theme song. The song was full of energy, vibrancy of youth and spirit of athletes. It was Rahman’s call to rise and win and spectators followed suit. With appreciating whistles, swings, twists and taps, Rahman rocked.

Humble as ever, Rahman said, “It’s definitely an honour composing this theme song. I hope people like it and it becomes the spirit of whole Commonwealth Games”.

Actors and Dancers Mr. Husain Kuwajerwala, Ms. Gauhar Khan and Ms. Kashmira Irani gave an astounding dance performance on the theme of Gypsy Prince Zangoora. Choreographed by renowned dance director Mr. Shiamak Dawar, the performance started with Husain descending from the top clasped in an eagle’s clutches and that clicked its connection with the audience which rocked further with Gauhar’s and Kashmira’s sways.
