Main Hoon Na (2004), starring Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan and Amrita Rao, turned 20 on April 30. Directed by Farah Khan, the film is remembered for many reasons, one of them being the memorable music. Every song is still memorable today and the one that stood out was the one “You have a milky heart”. Composed by Anu Malik, the film comes at a crucial point in the film and has been shot in a breathtaking setting. Director Farah Khan shared interesting facts about the shooting of this song in Rajeev Masand’s audio show ‘Picture Ke Peeche’.
20 years of Main Hoon Na: Farah Khan talks about shooting for ‘Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai’: ‘The swans would turn green in the colored water. In this day and age, PETA would have come and caught us.”
Farah Khan made it clear that she was inspired by it Bombay dreamsa Broadway musical she choreographed in London in 2002. She said: “I just came back from choreography Bombay dreams, which also had a qawwali. Actually, I loved Qawwali songs in general, even in movies like “ We have no love for each other (1977). Also, this was the year 2004 when everyone sang a bhangra song. I said to Anu Malik, “I want a qawwali song on acid”! We also shot it like a rock qawwali track.”
The use of colors, water and birds gave the song a beautiful touch. But it also led to unexpected and fun challenges. She admitted: “The swans really worried us. We put paint in the water and it turned the swans green. (In this day and age, PETA would have come and caught us!”
Many may find the set a bit gaudy, but it was visually appealing and added to the charm of the song. She stared, “I’ve become all cheesy. I thought, ‘It should look like a Gemini Pictures song’.”
The songs’ popularity paid off; Anu Malik won the Best Music award at the 50th Filmfare Awards for Main Hoon Na. The film was nominated in 11 categories and only won in this category.
