Maddock Films is leaning into the emotional core of Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam with Mere Rehte, a patriotic ballad that shifts the spotlight from courtroom strategy to conviction. Released after the film’s trailer launch, the song arrives as a stirring extension of the film’s central idea, that one man’s devotion to his country can turn the law itself into a weapon of resistance.
Composed and sung by Vishal Mishra, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Mere Rehte is presented by T-Series and framed as an anthem of protection, courage and duty. The music video draws on visuals tied to the memory of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, revisiting a city marked by trauma while setting up the legal battle that followed. It places Ujjwal Nikam’s fight for justice at the centre of the film’s emotional world, not through uniformed heroism, but through the power of the courtroom.
Vishal Mishra On What The Song Means
Speaking about the track, Vishal Mishra said, “26/11 is very close to all our hearts, especially because Mumbai is our lifeline. When I heard the vision behind ‘Mere Rehte’, I knew it would come very naturally to me. My love for the country runs very deep, and a huge part of my heart belongs to powerful music like this, which fills our hearts with pride and patriotism instantly. The spirit of Prahaar is rooted in courage, duty and standing up for the country, and ‘Mere Rehte’ carries that same thought, that as long as we stand, nothing can reach our nation.”
That sentiment runs through the video, which uses the track to underline the weight of the story rather than merely promote the film. The result is a music launch that doubles as an emotional statement, tying personal sacrifice to national memory in a way that feels central to Prahaar’s pitch.
What Prahaar Is About
Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films, Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam stars Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, and is directed by Avinash Arun. The film has been certified UA 16+ and is scheduled to release in cinemas on October 16, 2026. It is positioned as a legal drama rooted in the aftermath of 26/11 and in Nikam’s pursuit of justice through India’s legal system.
The film’s latest promotional beat also clarifies its tone. Rather than selling spectacle, Prahaar appears focused on moral resolve, institutional battle and the burden carried by those who fight from within the system.
Rajkummar Rao And Wamiqa Gabbi In Focus
For Rajkummar Rao, Prahaar adds another intense character-driven role to a filmography built on transformation and restraint. Wamiqa Gabbi, meanwhile, continues her steady move deeper into mainstream Hindi projects after earning attention across streaming and theatrical work in recent years.
With Mere Rehte now out on streaming platforms and its video live on T-Series’ YouTube channel, Prahaar has found a strong musical note to deepen anticipation before its October 16 release.
