Aigiri Nandini – A spectacular Ode to Maa Durga now in Hindi

What makes Aigiri rank among the most phenomenal piece of audio-visual work is the sheer originality and freshness. The Music video which was first released in Odia on World Women’s Day has now become a cult classic of sorts. Clocking 8 Lacs viewership on youtube, it has also been seen and shared by millions on social media. Now, on popular public demand, the team of Susmita Das and Auromira has now come up with the Hindi version of the song on the occasion of Dussehra. This Susmita Das Music Video has been stylishly shot, poetically imagined and beautifully edited. The core of the song is celebration of the goddess Durga and womanhood in general. It’s sung by Susmita Das and Abhijeet Mishra with powerful lyrics by Anup Agrawal and has been directed by Dev Meher. The performance of Suryamayee and Amit Dance Group stands out of its unconventional but impactful presentation. The composition by Sumit Dikshit is rich and layered and does make for a solid loop piece. Putting a great show together through art and cinematography, the visuals will stay with you long after you have watched the song. Singer Susmita Das says ‘It is because of the overwhelming response to the Odia version, we found it fit that we create a Hindi version reaching a pan-India audience. In the process, I had to sing the slokas again. It was tough but extraordinarily satisfying.’ Director Dev Meher said, ‘The composition demanded an innovation in presentation and we jumped at the idea of building upon such a rich material. I am proud to be part of the project.’
