Hitesh Modak added, “1962: The War in the Hills is an extraordinary tale of love, sacrifice and bravery; and I wanted to bring out the intensity of these emotions through the different songs. The entire album is a diverse collection of tunes, with each song signifying a different feeling – be it grief, happiness or honour. Working on this project has been a truly magical experience and I hope people are able to relate to the emotions strung in these melodies”
