The four-minute-forty seven seconds song Teri Mitti is a loud cry of warriors who sacrificed their lives for the soil of their nation. Written by Manoj Muntashir, the song is crooned by B Praak and the music has been composed by Arko. The aim of the song was to reflect a dying soldier’s last thoughts in the film’s final scene.
