The second song, Yaadon Ki Almari, from the most
anticipated film of the year 'Helicopter Eela' was launched by Kajol and Riddhi
Sen at a local college festival amongst hundreds of fans. She visited the
college campus after a long time and was overly excited to be amongst the
crowd.
Since the movie is based on the premise of a
mother following her son and getting admission in his college, the makers
decided it was best to launch this track on a campus along with students.
Director Pradeep Sarkar says, “I always conceptualise songs to take the story
and situations in a film forward. Yaadon Ki Almari is about the aspirations of
Kajol’s character, Eela; it’s about her wanting to write and compose music. In
fact, in the film, she goes on to make a small music video after this song. The
track conveys thoughts and ideas about letting one’s dreams out of the
proverbial closet.”
Amit Trivedi has composed the music for this
interesting number, while Swanand Kirkire has penned the lyrics. Palomi Ghosh
has sung Yaadon Ki Almari and she has acted in several
internationally-acclaimed films before. Speaking about making her foray into
playback singing, she says, “I was simply having a ball recording the audio
board and next thing I knew, I was singing the songs. Pradeep dada said I was
Eela’s voice, so I could approach the songs as an actor, bear the character’s
journey in mind and translate those emotions through the music. I am grateful
that he thought that I could do this.”
Talking
about the emotions of Yaadon Ki Almari, Palomi reveals she tapped into her own
memories for this special song. She says, “It resonated with me completely
because my mind is constantly in and out of memories of the past, some meethi,
some khaari. Hopefully it tugs at all the fond memories of those listening and
brings them joy.”
