The Bangalore Song: A peppy music video that will give you major bouts of nostalgia

Written by : TNM Staff

A young woman, who is about to move to the UK with her parents, goes on a trip around the city in her Premier Padmini. Bengaluru, to her, is a city of attachment.

She visits all the big and small places that give the city its essence - right from Vidhana Soudha, to MG Road, Town Hall to MTR restaurant and Lalbagh to India Coffee House.

The video is interspersed with footage from an old Bengaluru and will take you back to the good ol' days.

Produced by Flash Frame Visuals Academy of Film & Television, The Bangalore Song has received 701k views and has been shared over 6,000 times at the time of writing this piece.

The catchy chorus goes "Namma ooru Bengaluru, sakkath coolu" (our city Bengaluru, it is very cool) and is likely to leave you humming.

"We keep complaining about Bengaluru and how it has changed. But when you look at the old and new visuals in the video, you will see that it is not the city that has changed, but the people that have done so. We wanted to show the positive side of Bengaluru," producer Keerthi Kumar told The Times of India.
