Rishabh Anupam Sahay

For many years, filmmaker Rishabh Anupam Sahay has worked across cinema, writing and the visual arts, pursuing stories that move fluidly between image, word and sound. A long-time poet, instrumentalist and composer, Sahay now opens his private musical world to listeners with Dil Udta Phire, a song written and composed by him, and sung by Raghav Kaushik. In Rishabh's words, “Yeh gaana swantantra hai, yeh ek azaad geet hai. Dil Udta Phire is about longing for a liberated version of ourselves. The heart has a curious habit of wandering, even when the body is confined to a cubicle, a laptop screen, or the slow procession of traffic and the daily humdrum of life. Raghav’s voice brings an effortless warmth and freshness. If, for a few moments, Dil Udta Phire reminds someone the feeling of dreaming a little more recklessly, to love deeply, or simply to feel a little lighter, then this story has found its home.”
