‘Teri Mitti’
If "Sandese Aate Hain" is the go-to patriotic song for all '90s kids, the present-day classic is "Teri Mitti". The song from the 2019 movie Kesari invokes the strongest of emotions, with B Praak's soul-stirring voice in Arko Pravo Mukherjee's composition and Manoj Muntashir's lyrics. "Teri Mitti" was one of the reasons for the box office success of Kesari.
