Hain Tayyar Hum: Congress’ slogan was once a Laxmikant-Pyarelal song in Amitabh Bachchan-Rajinikanth film

Composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and written by Anand Bakshi, Hum song 'Hain Tayyar Hum' was sung by Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Mohammad Aziz, Sudesh Bhosle and Sonali Vajpayee. Congress has announced it as its poll slogan.

Mukul Anand's 1991 film Hum featured the song 'Hain Tayyar Hum'.

When Hindi film fans heard the slogan chosen by Congress for its campaign for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, they couldn’t help but sing it in a melody. ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’, the slogan chosen by the Congress is reminiscent of the song of the same name from the 1991 film Hum. Congress held a mega rally dubbed ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’ in Nagpur on Thursday, the party’s 139th foundation day.

Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth and Govinda in lead roles, Hum was directed by Mukul Anand. ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’ was the title song of the film and was used as a family song in the film with the characters standing up united in the face of adversity. The film also starred Kimi Katkar, Deepa Sahi, Shilpa Shirodkar, Danny Denzongpa, Anupam Kher and Kader Khan, and was one of the most successful films of the year.

Hum had a popular music album composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and featured songs like ‘Jumma Chumma’, ‘Kagaz Kalam Davaat’, with lyrics by Anand Bakshi. ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’ was sung by Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Mohammad Aziz, Sudesh Bhosle and Sonali Vajpayee.

Hum is the story of three brothers with Big B playing the eldest brother Tiger; Rajinikanth plays the middle brother Kumar, who is a cop, and Govinda plays the youngest brother Vijay. A deleted scene from the film inspired Rajinikanth to make the 1995 film Baashha.

The Congress has called its Nagpur rally ‘Hain Tayyar Hum (We are ready)’ and the party says this theme is meant to reaffirm its commitment to fight for protection of democracy in the country. The venue of the rally is located in the Dighori Naka area, which the Congress has called ‘Bharat Jodo Ground’.

Maharashtra Congress working president Naseem Khan said the Congress slogan ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’ was an exhortation to fight for protecting the country’s democracy.
