Showers of Blessings for Malani’s iPhone Cine-Maa

Writer director Sandeep Malani’s latest offering, Maa – yeh Cinemaa Hai, shot entirely on an iPhone camera has many tracks of different genres. There are love songs, romantic songs, birthday songs, party songs, club song, fun song, flamenco, classical, xmas party, celebration etc. And one such track which is different from the rest is the Musical Instrumental of the church choir, ‘There Shall be showers of Blessings’. The musical track is composed by Prajoth Dsa and is used in bits and pieces in the film.

‘The track, a famous church choir since ages has been my personal favorite and I always wanted to have it used as a background score for a sequence in my film. It was while my visit to Sagar Church in Shimoga, that during my stay there for 3 days I happened to hear a wonderful composition of the same by Bro Sunil Fernandes who played it so beautifully in the church during the mass. I decided there and then that I would use the same composition and track for my film Maa, which the shoot was then under production’ recalls Malani.

I then requested Sunil Bro to compose the same feel which was heavenly. He did try to do so, and was about to record the same at a recording studio for me in the days to come in Bangalore. Due to the timings and schedules it got postponed for a while, but he did promise me that when he gets time, he would do.

Unfortunately, the fate desired something else. Brother Sunil Fernandes committed suicide and that was a tragic incident that happened.

The mystery behind his death remained unsolved…..

To his memory and tribute, I then requested Prajoth Dsa, the singer composer who already had done the title track for Maa – to recreate ‘Showers Of Blessings’ for me in a different musical mood and to be very high on instrumental that goes with the mood of the film. And Prajoth Dsa came out with a wonderful composition. This beautiful piece of music is a tribute to Late Bro. Sunil Fernandes.

The track that also begins with the opening of the film, that Mohammed Aashiq interviews me in Daijiworld Studio and asks for the narration of the film, this piece begins and as the journey goes on, all the footage montages of the film is showcased for this instrumental music.
