Maidaan's 'Team India Hain Hum' - First song solely dedicated to Indian football team

Maidaan is going to hit the silver screen in this upcoming Eid.

Indian football has faced a wave of criticism recently. The team’s lackluster performance in the AFC Asian Cup, finishing at the bottom of their group without scoring a single goal, and the subsequent defeat to Afghanistan in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers left fans frustrated. The yearning for a spark, a moment to reignite their passion, was palpable.

Enter ‘Maidaan’, an upcoming movie releasing this Eid 2024, promising a cinematic experience centred around the golden era of Indian football. But even before the film hits the silver screen, its soundtrack has delivered a much-needed boost in the form of ‘Team India Hai Hum’.

This electrifying anthem, composed by the maestro A.R. Rahman and sung by both Rahman himself and Nakul Abhyankar, is more than just a catchy tune. It’s a first for Indian football – a song dedicated solely to the national team and its passionate supporters.

The lyrics, penned by Manoj Muntashir, are a powerful call to action. Translated to ‘We are Team India, we will win everything,’ they encapsulate the unwavering spirit and hunger for victory that defines true Indian football fans. 

But ‘Team India Hai Hum’ goes beyond just on-field triumphs. It speaks to the very essence of the sport – the joy of playing on any field, the thrill of every win, and the unwavering resolve to overcome every challenge. ‘This is our passion, this is our madness,’ declares the song, perfectly capturing the infectious energy that surrounds the beautiful game.

The arrival of ‘Team India Hai Hum’ has been met with immense enthusiasm. Fans have embraced it as an anthem, a rallying cry to reignite their belief in the national team. It’s the perfect song to blast when motivation is needed, a reminder that with hard work and unwavering belief, anything is possible.

While the song serves as a powerful motivator, Indian football fans will be eager to see a similar level of passion translate onto the pitch. The team has some crucial fixtures coming up in the remaining World Cup Qualifiers, and a strong performance would be the perfect response to both the criticism and the renewed faith ignited by ‘Team India Hai Hum.’

‘Maidaan’ itself promises to be a visual treat for football fans. Though details about the plot remain under wraps, the movie is said to explore the trials and triumphs of the golden generation of Indian football. With the release coinciding with Eid and the song already generating a buzz, there’s a renewed sense of optimism surrounding the sport.

‘Team India Hai Hum’ may be the first song dedicated solely to the Indian football team, but it hopefully won’t be the last. As the national team embarks on its next challenge, this anthem serves as a powerful reminder: the spirit of Indian football is alive and kicking, and with continued dedication and passion, it can soar to new heights.
