An Indian Independent Music Video About Mothers Is Quietly Making History

In a remarkable turn for India’s independent music scene, a heartfelt tribute to motherhood has evolved into an unexpected global success story.
Meri Maa — a music video conceptualized by filmmaker and actor Kovid Mittal, under the label Get High on Music, has won 15 international awards across categories including direction, acting, cinematography, and sound, and has now been officially selected for the Oscars® short film category as well as the London Short Film Awards.
What began as a simple, emotional tribute to mothers is now breaking boundaries worldwide — with no big production house, no star power, and no major budget behind it. Just emotion, storytelling, and sincerity.

A Cultural Movement — Not Just a Music Video

The overwhelming love for Meri Maa has inspired the team to take the project even further. The music video is now being re-shot in six Indian languages, with each version crafted to authentically represent the culture, traditions, and mother–child bond specific to that region — not through mere translation, but through fresh storytelling and rooted visual interpretation.
A male version of the song is also scheduled to be released next week, adding a new emotional dimension to the narrative.

A Rare Achievement in Indian Independent Music
It is uncommon for an independent Indian music film — especially one centered on a universal emotion like motherhood — to receive this scale of international acclaim. The journey of Meri Maa stands as proof that authentic storytelling connects across borders, beyond language and industry norms.
“This isn’t just a song — it’s an emotion we all share.
When we created ‘Meri Maa,’ we never imagined it would travel the world.
It’s truly humbling to see motherhood resonate universally,”
says Kovid Mittal, Director & Lead Actor.
