Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's 'Sanson Ki Mala' Featured in Mirzapur: The Movie Soundtrack
Nearly 50 years after Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan first performed 'Sanson Ki Mala Pe' in India, the qawwali has gained renewed attention through its inclusion in Mirzapur: The Movie. The film features a new version blending Nusrat's original vocals with contemporary arrangements by Madhur Sharma and Vaibhav Pani, released on August 31 as part of the soundtrack. The song plays during a mid-credit scene involving Beena Tripathi, where its themes of eternal love contrast with the film's violent narrative, earning praise from fans for its impactful placement.
