"Ghar kab aaoge/ Sandese Aate Hain releases today. A song that was created 29 years ago by the Genius of my father, JP Dutta, Javed Saab, Anu Mallik, Sonu Nigam & Roop Kumar Rathod," she wrote on X.

Highlighting the emotional continuity of the song, Dutta said, "Same Emotions, Lyrics that Echo The Heartache of New Characters but the Same Immortal Melody."

Expressing hope that audiences would connect with the new version just as deeply, she said, "I hope the Audiences feel the same about this one as they have the first version for all these years."

Calling the project deeply personal, she added, "A Power Packed Team backing this one... But Also just a Daughter trying to take her father's legacy and make him proud. Give this song all the love. This one's for you Papa & for Our Armed Forces."

The original track 'Sandese Aate Hain' from the 1997 film Border remains one of Hindi cinema's most cherished patriotic songs, symbolising the love for the country.

A beautiful tribute. My father was in the army, and this song used to make my mother cry every time. It's more than a song; it's the voice of every military family waiting at home. Hoping the new version retains that raw emotion.

Respectfully, I'm a bit skeptical. Why mess with perfection? The original is iconic. Adding new singers and lyrics feels unnecessary. Some classics should just be left alone. Hope they prove me wrong.

The line "Same Emotions... Same Immortal Melody" is key. It's not a remake, it's a reimagining for a new generation. Introducing it to today's youth while honoring the past is a smart move. The star cast looks promising too!

Releasing it at Longewala is a powerful gesture. That's hallowed ground for any Indian. This song, at that location, will be an emotional tsunami. Salute to the armed forces and the makers. Booking my tickets for Jan 23 already!

The combination of Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh for this song? That's a dream team! And having Diljit Dosanjh adds a different flavor. As long as the soul is intact, this could be a beautiful new chapter for an immortal anthem.
