If a playlist of
the top ten patriotic songs from Hindi films were created, Meri Desh Ki
Dharti would have been on it.
The track, from Upkar, earned Mahendra Kapoor the National Film Award in the Best Male Playback Singer category in 1968, in addition to a Filmfare nomination in the same category the same year. It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that he deserved both the accolade and the nomination.
It earned Gulshan Kumar Mehta (a.k.a. Gulshan Bawra) the Filmfare Award in the Best Lyricist category that year.
The song was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.
