Film Director Vishal Bhardwaj has composed music for '1232 KMS', a documentary film that chronicles the mass exodus of the migrants during the lockdown announced by the centre in 2020. In an interview to NDTV, he says, "We were all feeling helpless, my heart was crying, I didn't know how to express my feelings for the migrants. This documentary was an opportunity for me to express my inner feelings". He also says that "it is painful to watch the documentary but there is an overwhelming feeling of an underdog winning."
