When Tochi Raina lent his soulful voice to Madari ka bandar, the primary track of Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Gulabo Sitabo, little did he know that it would turn almost eerily prophetic. With the current crisis reminding the human race that we are mere puppets at the hands of a larger force, the song is gaining popularity among listeners for its resounding theme.

Raina believes in the message of the track, describing it as a truth that we had all but forgotten. "I am a man of nature who likes to live in quaint places, mountains and jungles. People have turned away from nature and started flowing against the tide. What's happening to us was long coming. Hum sab hai bandar aur uparwala madari. If you listen to the song, [you will understand] that we need to live large because life is short and uncertain. Tall plans get disrupted in the blink of an eye," he analyses.
