Vinesh Phogat, India’s wrestling star, turned 30 on 25th August, and in celebration, an empowering new track, Sau Gram (Main Naa Haari) was released. Composed by acclaimed music producer Gourov Dasgupta and performed by Deedar Kaur, the song goes beyond celebrating Phogat's remarkable achievements and is a bold testament to the strength and resilience of women globally.
Vinesh Phogat’s remarkable journey and fierce performance at the Paris Olympics 2024 have earned her immense admiration across the country. In a gesture to honor her accomplishments and resilience, the song not only commemorates her success, but also addresses broader societal issues faced by women. The track talks about a topic that’s been hotly debated but rarely sung about the weight women carry, both literally and metaphorically, as reflected in the story of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat and the struggles she faced.
Sau Gram (Main Naa Haari) is more than just a song; it’s an anthem for women who constantly battle judgment and criticism. The track uses the metaphor of ‘100 grams’ to represent the weight of these societal pressures. Instead of letting these burdens define them, women are turning that weight into strength, embodying attitude, resilience, determination, confidence, and courage. The powerful line, “Sau Gram ab sab pe bhaari” (This 100 grams will outweigh everything else), perfectly captures the song’s bold and uplifting message.
The track’s raw emotion and timely message make it a significant release in today’s landscape. By focusing on the untold struggles and silent battles women face daily, Sau Gram (Main Naa Haari) aims to inspire listeners to reflect, speak out, and take action. It’s a song that doesn’t just resonate it challenges the listener to think differently about the burdens women are expected to carry.
