Taatarstan is an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation, which is situated along the banks of the River Volga, and to the west of the Ural Mountains.

“Jaao Kahin Bhi Sanam, Tumhen Itni Kasam, Hamen Yaad Rakhnaa” .

Words that are pretentious and pre-sentimental. A song from the 1961 film ‘Zabak’, performed on screen by Shyama and Mahipal; a song that has become a perennial favorite across generations. And its heroine, flying at the heights of popularity at that time. Little was she aware that it was just about the peak she would be at, and then, the old order would change and the new players will come on.
