Tabu launches Sidhant Kapoor’s song “Beparwah”

International composer Sidhant Kapoor releases “Beparwah”, a single about slum children and their carefree outlook on life, based on the poem ‘Slum Children at Play’ by legendary author Ruskin Bond.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 15: Noted musician Sidhant Kapoor is releasing his latest single named Beparwah, inspired by the spirited life of children from the slums, as depicted in the poem ‘Slum Children at Play’ by legendary writer Ruskin Bond. The verses touched Sidhant’s heart and inspired him to compose Beparwah as a song that celebrates the carefree nature of street children. The single was released in a gala ceremony at the Sahara Star Hotel, Mumbai, in the presence of guest star Tabu and other eminent guests; Sidhant’s father actor-singer Ruhan Kapoor, Paul Marshal, Tejas Verma, Gunjan Sinha and Somansh Dangwal.

To get the rights, Sidhant went all the way to meet the revered writer at his famous home in the hills of Mussoorie. Mr. Bond was moved by Sidhant’s passion. He not only gave his permission but narrated the poem in the track and made a special appearance in the video. Making this video his first-ever appearance in a music video.
Sidhant left no stone unturned to bring out the essence of the song. He brought The Sunshine Orchestra on board to perform the strings section of his composition. The talented orchestra is composer A.R. Rahman’s dream project where he nurtured children from economically and socially difficult homes to become expert musicians. To mix his opus, Sidhant sought out the genius of Platinum Billboard charting sound engineer, Guy Gabriel, to give it an international sound.

The song is accompanied by a music video that showcases the talents of leading choreographer and debutant director Paul Marshal. The music video tells a heartfelt story and features some outstanding dance by three popular child dancers Tejas Verma, Gunjan Sinha and Somansh Dangwal. Tejas and Gunjan were the winners of the popular dance show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10. The quality-conscious Sidhant got ace film editor Bunty Nagi on board to edit his first music video.

Film star Tabu spoke in support of the project, “Music is such a powerful tool for bringing about change. It is heartwarming to see Sidhant continue the musical legacy. First, the poem and now the song really puts things into perspective for everyone. We all need to learn how to stop pitying ourselves in situations and rise above that to see the bigger picture. We are all blessed with the gift of life and we should cherish each moment. Watching Sidhant’s music video was such a moving experience.”
