Song: Mein Idhar Khara Hoon
Artist: Sikandar ka Mandir
Lyrics:
Teri baato ko sun sun kar mera dil bhar agaya,
par idhar khara hoon,
is neendh say uth,
kyun idhar khara hoon?
Socho meray yaar.
( My heart's fed up with all your talking,
but I'm standing here, wake up from this dream.
why am I standing here? Think about it my friend)
Mujh ko milli kitni naymatain par sochta nahi,
kyun idhar khara hoon?
Khubsoorat imtihan,
Kyun idhar khara hoon?
socho meray yaar.
(I've been blessed with so many things but I've never thought about
why I'm standing here, beautiful test.
why am I standing here? Think about it my friend)
Mein pagal ho chuka hoon,
mein kidhar sar jhukaoo?
mein kidhar tujh ko dhoondo?
is aag mein.
(I've gone crazy, where do I hide my head?
Where do I find you? In this fire)
Meinay khayee kitni jhooti qasmain phir bhi tu bola,
meray paas aao!
in ko chhor meri jaan,
meray paas aao,
socho meray yaar.
( I've made so many fake promises yet you still said,
come to me, leave the others my dear.
come to me, think about it my friend)
Permission to use the song
I initially met the lead singer of Sikandar ka Mandir : Nadir Shehzad, and personally asked him for permission to use the song to which he agreed. I offically asked the band facebook page aswell.
Initial ideas
Most of the ideas for the music video were Hassam's and my own. From the very start we did have a basic idea of what we wanted to end up with.
Our first idea revolved around a boy struggling as a musician and trying to overcome his insecurities and make his big breakthrough.
However, due to lack of innovation and no further development on the idea we went for something else.
Our final idea a blend of performance and interrupted narrative which showed a highschool party with a live band performing and a jealous girlfriend fighting other girls who try to come near her man. The gist of it is:

Our final idea a blend of performance and interrupted narrative which showed a highschool party with a live band performing and a jealous girlfriend fighting other girls who try to come near her man. The gist of it is:
- In the Initial stages we knew the story would revolve around a couple going through problems.
- We followed a particularly simplistic approach, and came up with a sterotypical jealous girlfriend storyline.
- After disscussing it with our media teacher, we went for a very highschool party ambiance.
- Following a simply story shown in a very casual, fun yet indie style.
- With a variety of different camera shots and movements as well as cinemetography.
