Sandese Aate Hai (transl. Messages arrived) is a patriotic song from the 1997 film
For a "heart-touching" song which "became the nation's anthem",[1][3] Akhtar won the Filmfare Award and the Screen Award in 1997 and 1998 respectively.[4][5] He also won the National Film Award for the film.[6] Nigam won the Zee Cine Award for the song along with the Aashirwad Award and Sansui Viewers' Choice Award.[7] Nigam was however disappointed with the fact that Rathod was not nominated for the awards,[1] saying that Rathod also played an equal part in the song's success.[1] Talking about the song's popularity, Nigam said,"I knew the song was popular, but I had no idea how big it was, and how big it was going to be in a few months."[8] In an interview, Malik said that the song "rocked the world", and felt that he deserved the National Award for it.[3] He said that he made the song for the soldiers "to sing in their bunkers",[3] and it took seven and a half minutes for him to compose the song.[3]
