My friend has drawn a beautiful conclusion of this song- The girl depicts nature, who is shown in the form of a frustrated girl who is oppressed by the society and is forced to meet the social standards, and then she takes the form of kaali and she is enraged... And now her frustration is leading to the destruction of the world...While she is close to mother earth, only factories and skyscrapers are the ones which are getting destroyed... She is just running free, not caring at all, leaving her foot prints behind, for the world to see...❤️❤️

I got it as a recommendations in my feed, if you also got it as recommendation you have legendary taste of music....

That final shot when she realizes that society cannot accept her if she is open minded and free minded so decides to leave the society and merge herself into nature . Such a beautiful shot and way of explaining

I grew up Muslim (I’m agnostic), but as an Indian, I like to embrace all of my identity and all the people that came before me, after all I exist because of them. Words can’t describe how I felt watching this video. It’s so beautiful and powerful. I have a very complicated relationship with religions. I believe there three kinds of religions: one, that is used to assert dominance, control, and power. the other, that you have practice according to the rules even if you don’t believe or agree with all them. and the last religion, the purest of all, is your own belief.

'Closer' is the story of one young brown woman - Maya- who breaks out of the life expected of her. She doesn’t measure up to what a good South Asian woman should be: she’s not light enough or straight enough hair. Trapped in a sheltered life, she dreams of (or foreshadows) more. The cyclic nature of the opening scene is reminiscent not only of the repetitive nature of her daily life but also of samsara, the larger cycle of birth and death without enlightenment. Within Maya, as in all of us, there is latent energy, which we see in her eyes, as she imagines an unbridled life outside. We play with the infinite aspect of this power, conceived as galaxies and the cosmos, as well as the negative/destructive aspect of this power, conceived as fire. The two are ultimately related, as stars and galaxies follow their own path of life and death through the explosion. Maya is prepared for subjugation and indoctrination with other women through the ceremony. Their eyes go black as they take the pill because their internal energy is drained and they shed their uniqueness and relegate themselves to conforming to the rules. Maya’s body rejects it and instead, she shows her true nature, as a form of Kali. She’s infinite and deadly in the same breath: the ceremony bursts into flames. Maya escapes outside; she feels the sun she dreamed of on her skin. She takes on her full form - both destructive and creative, raw and untamed. She’s the embodiment of pure nature and the mother in all of her power. She roams the world only to discover that more racism, colorism, bigotry, and greed, propped up by powerful forces that are ultimately rooted in egos, have led to inescapable divides. She rages at all of us who are complicit. On the surface, she seems wild and raw, but that’s only partly true. Kali brings the death of ego, the illusory self-centered view of reality, that has created our superficial and destructive world divides. As Maya (as Kali) sets these oppressive systems and our collective egos alight, the sky turns from yellow to orange. The cycle of death is natural but she feels empathy for the destruction. Maya turns away from the constructed world to that of the natural world, in cooling green tones, representing stabilisation of the mind. It’s in nature where things refresh, recycle and restart. Her last act is to quell her own fire and release her own attachment/ego. True to the cyclical nature of samsara, she ends up in the same position she started. Again.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW PRETTY SHE IS? I literally saw her for the first time and I went "wow"

All of those who have heard this track watched this video and who are at this comment section are the kind of people I really want to be with. I can feel we are all connected. Let's all try and tell our perception/conclusions about this video in the comments section, in our own way so that each of us understand how differently each one of us are designed by the universe. Spread Love ❤

I'm Japanese and I didn't know the language of the lyrics, but I cried. I felt that the "cry of the heart as a human being" sung from a strong feeling is transmitted regardless of country or culture. The "common sense" created by social, religious, and cultural values ​​must be inherited and one that needs to change with the times. There are still many values ​​in people's hearts around the world that should not be left behind just because they have been inherited. I feel that the common "cry as a human being", which occurs in different places and situations, clarifies the need to change the values ​​that have not been deeply discussed in human society. a person who wants to scream in the same way in my own country (sorry,that directly translated.)

Not everyone deserves this kinda song in their recommendations. Just let it be. What a music. What a story. Just magic.

1. She have not set into society measures but she imagined her free life outside. Feeling sun kissed her body. 2. They prepare her for rituals and after pill there eyes get black which shows there internal energy get drained and they are now submissive to the rules of society. 3. But she rejects it and her black eyes turned into fire. She takes a form of kali, infinite and deadly, burst ceremony hall into flames, she feels sun on her skin that she dreamed in starting. 4. She became wild and raw once she discover more racism, greed, ego outside. She became destructive and creative simultaneously. 5. Kali ended her ego, she feels empathy for destruction. Moves from constructive word to natural word, in mother natures lap. 6. Nature refresh, restart, recycled her and released from her attachments. 7. Ending scene is similar to starting scene which depicted birth and death cycle, which is samsara and we only achive nirvana by creating this world beautiful by our acts. Peace.

This made me cry and I don't know. Maybe from reading the comment section while watching the video and getting a glimpse into how people interpret this masterpiece. Again, I have found gold today. Thank you KZfaq.

We r actually so hypocrite that we worship goddess kali yet we cannot digest dark complexion people and call them ugly.... Religion, caste, creed, colour, when we will see above all these parameters, things will change and humanity above all will actually prevail...

Her single tear drop ..will destroy this world's existence.

This is brilliance. We humans we are given the greatest gift of all, we are blessed with art and its various forms. Other species they create but humans we are gifted with creativity. This complete song, the music video and the beats. This was love. The symbolisation of Maa Mahakali and her becoming destructive is her also bringing in the new beginning. She is both the start and the end. She transcended her ego. She broke the norms of society, she burnt the society because what she experienced was worth burning. The racism, the chauvinism, the sexism...for she might appear fierce or even wrong but she is right. She is destructive only to set herself and the world free. Omg Goosebumps. For those who haven't found this gem yet or for those who don't understand its essence or for those who are offended. My deep condolences for you. Must be hard not grasping a perspective through mind blowing art.

I'm crying watching this. Those scenes where society is looking at you in horror (because they see you as "shameful" for choosing your own path) are so painful and yet beautifully depicted. It takes immense strength to be true to ourselves. This video does an incredible job of capturing the fire, the fierceness and the fury we have inside our hearts

I think the girl here portrays "mother nature".. beauty on its own, breaks down in character when applied that white colour stuff, and the ritual that follows,.. embraces her beauty and dances, n when approaches near human she gets rejected or they gets scared, and her rage is shown, somehow screaming in anger, the destruction the havoc that takes place.. and finally she rest amidst nature.. (just my theory lol, ignore me.. loved this mv so much truly a work of art.) (Note: do check the comments/replies here 😂)

saw this song in Insta advertisement..... Man what have you created!!!!! This song has been in loop for 24hrs.. This is called art... Please compose more songs like this one , we really need more in this era. God bless you man

There is something so oddly sinister yet brilliant about this MV, I love it.

I didn't need to understand the words for this to have me crying within the first 45 seconds. The way the words are sung combined with the music and then the imagery of the video are, all at once, insanely powerful and utterly overwhelming, in the best of ways. Just...wow. This did something to me. Thank you for this incredible work of art that can bring us closer together without ever having to speak a language the other knows. This is what being human is all about.

OMG. I addicted to this video. Indian culture is very interesting. Love india from Turkey 🇹🇷 ( İt is not related to girl's marrying its just about to her tatoos and her dance and figures with her hands. I had to point this out as I got very aggressive responses from indians

The video is soo trippy. Glad Indian scene is getting so lit. Indian women, so gorg. hats off DOP!

I got chills from the absolute power resonating from these shots. Seema Hari is an absolute goddess. Her embodiment of Kali Ma dripped with authenticity 🤎

I feel that this depicts the awakening of the Divine Feminine...it is the restlessness in all of us...we are screaming for change, for a way back to purity of nature. She is a form of the Divine Mother that destroys what is wrong with this world...she is a protector. Mother Kali...think of a mother protecting her family and going on a rampage if anyone were to cause her loved ones harm. The white paint and clothing shows death and sacrifice....and giving up one's identity for society. Her eyes changing is showing the transition from a human being to a powerful Goddess. The picture of her family burning is showing the transitory nature of a human. She breaks free of the bondage of her human form and finally shows who she truly is...Kali. She is terrifying to behold, she is beautiful, powerful and yet deeply loving. That is why the mother shields her child's eyes from the Dark Mother. When Her work is done...she lays down to sleep and transits this world. It is the mirror of the beginning when she is this restless girl lying on the sofa...the Goddess starting to awaken in her. I Loved the video and the song so much and the actress is beautiful.

This 4 minutes is more thought-provoking than the entire filmography of Salman Khan 😎

New composers are taking Indian Music to an International level... 👌❤

Why dont people see such videos. These are the type of videos that deserve awards.

Oh my God. The song has so much to say on the dark side of humanity. Appreciate the artists for this sharing . Hats off …

welcome mate ! You are here just bcz of your taste in music.

I don't remember when was the last time I came along such a beautiful concept. I really felt that this video depicts the condition of racism and atrocities against woman, all in one frame. She's not allowed to go out freely on her own, compared to evil when they live on their own terms, her dark tone is hated by others, her feelings aren't respected, everything they are going through in this world. It truly shows the hypocritic mentality of our society. But I also like the concept of spark hidden inside her, which can change entire city, or nation, or even world...Just lovely, but sadly at a huge price. Kudos to you @Khanvict

Most probably the most interesting and mesmerising piece of media I have seen and heard for a very long time. Congratulations Khanvict - this is unforgettable.

This shook me. I cried. Thank you so much from an indian girl who didn't know how desperately she needed this 🙏🙏

This video has given such powerful message . Alas ! The society in Pakistan and India never accept girls who are not fair and make fun of them. There are girls waiting for proposals and are feeling less esteemed . I wish this thinking is eradicated and girls , who are borne flowers become more important than complexion. Hats off to the team for such masterpiece !

Why is no one talking about how beautiful the girl is 💕

I've never seen anything this beautiful before.. Stunning, heartwrenching and glorious

You can't contain Kali .... she was supposed to be a destroyer of evil but what she saw after getting free , people r afraid of her . Instead of worshipping the pure form they hide their children , also, people have strayed enough to kill each other and enjoy destruction. Finally she reminds herself of the actual nature of earth bids farewell till next time.... it's beautiful to see so many interpretations of video, this is mine....

I am glad this was on my recommendation...She is gorgeous as hell and heaven combined. Loved the way it has been shot. Visually stunning work and then there was the music to the ears.

In whole video, she just through with her eyes❤️ Hat's off to her acting skills 🙏

Whether anyone excepts you or not nature will always welcome you with open hands ....it's us who have lost our roots!

What an amazing piece of artistic work. The music obviously, but the visuals are stunning and awe inspiring. Can't get enough of watching this. 👍

Never seen such a beautiful woman, and the MV is marvelous. This is called Art, One must appreciate this kind of music. Hats off to all the Team behind this.

Whoever thought of this concept is creative beyond imagination. I love it when people are capable of portraying the true essence of our culture. 👏👏

I don't know a lot about Indian mythology or cultural background!! But this piece of art is amazing!!! IS THIS SHIVA? Or KHALI GODDESS OF DESTRUCTION?? YESSS DESTROY THOSE SLAVERY PARADIGMS, FREE YOUR POWER AND BURST YOURSELF FREE FROM CULTURAL BEAUTY STANDARDS AND HERITAGE THAT SERVE TO ENSLAVE WOMEN. Roar KHALI! show them the name of freedom!! 😢❤❤❤❤❤

This is Devi, ma, Shakti, yin in its raw, truest, crude form

I think it is depicting the current scenario, She a Mother Earth is restless watching inside that we the human r misusing her , She was painted white to transform her into the cruel opposite of Wat she is not, She was poisoned or forced to transform herself into different, She outrageously showed her real side as a form of Maa Kali n stared destroying mankind , She now seeks peace n calm down in nature truly where she belongs Maa Parvati🙏❤️🧿 It ignited a deep curiosity for further insight meaning of second part👍 Great job done by makers , music is superb too👏👏

She is giving me goddess Maa Kali vibes❤️ goosebumps🔥 (Note :- You will find two types of people in this comment section🙂)

I’m Aussie but I’m from a Samoan background, I love this song. It shows how religion, patriarchy and societal pressures especially on women break you until you lash out and it’s never in a nice way. Men know it too but not as bad as women. In the end it’s not about who’s got it worse. The world is your house, all people are your neighbours, animals are beings you protect like “pets” and plants are the life force of all species

there is nothing wrong in video. it is story of a girl seeing a society where everyone is obessed with white skin . and so many things going wrong in this world . burning covid all so problems. at last she cried and nature accept this girl .

The girl in this mv is just so beautifull I mean she is literally looking like a Goddess!! what a mv mahnnn!!!!

If you think this video is glorifying Indian culture you've completely missed the point. Please watch again.. Also...Indian culture is rich..no doubt. But there is no use of taking pride in something we didn't create. Culture has been around for centuries. Many impurities exist in our culture since they have their roots in generations old beliefs. We as a generation haven't done anything to the culture to be proud of. We have not made it evolve. India is going backward as time passes... We are reducing ourselves to animals who fight over territories. By saying our culture is great we think it makes India great..but it does not. Without humanity...culture is just an ornament which we wear on top of our dark souls.

She is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. This whole video is mesmerizing. I wish I had the cultural background to appreciate it fully.

I like this song as it as it give me a message of self realisation and being the true self. The elements of melody and bass are totally done right. Great work 👏❤

2:53 mind blowing art on face 😍 No words for this art

There's no way to express the amount of quality content this video carries, this might be the precise example to put forward to all the artists we have in punjabi industry. This should make them realise how low they stand as an artist with their bullsh*t of guns and violence. This seriously fuels my soul. Thank you Khanvict for this.

Im so glad I found this. This video is communicating a type of freedom and rage and suffering and beauty to my heart that Ive always craved but never understood

Its the first time I am listening to this band. The visuals are enchanting n message is powerful and deep! Kudos to the makers and all artists. Music is amazing!

This song is mixed in mono. Unique in its own way... just like the thought process behind this song. Hats off

This video will go down in history as one of greatest piece of art.

A very imperfect society which expects you to be perfect and presentable all the time...

If this doesn't heal your soul.. nothing won't.. Break free Move on Life is beyond orthodox society..

When light meets the world, when breath meet screams, the agony of being misled and misinterpreted, and then scavenging for every bits of YOU, this is ephemeral and this is the absolute path of survivial in this chaos of a world. You got me hooked!

I have no idea how this has popped up in my recommendations but, OH MY GOD.

amazing artist! Khanvict, such a GREAT song. Bravo. lotta love from belgrade, serbia. WOW!

The tricks, shock, theme,remixing, cinematography aside, one need not just understand the concept to make it so deep..one needs to feel it..inside out..I am sure the creators are outliers to be able to come with a masterpiece like this..

There is a Mahakali inside every woman 😇 Jai Maa Kali 😘😘

It was recommended, glad I clicked.. looks like a gorgeous hommage to Kali (I might be wrong though, I'm not hindu).

Love her hair, really beautiful person, and the gold and sparks went well in the story. It's cool. Holy hell the aesthetics in this video and then she's crazy beautiful. Thank goodness for beauty in the world.

This song found me after my sanctuary was almost destroyed by ungrateful people I tried to share it with. I empathize with God's pain when He tried to share His sanctuary with His closest creation and they did not appreciate His free gift.

The artists bravery is applauded at bringing light to this sensitive issue through such artistic means.

Sometimes you find songs that just go straight to your soul 🖤

This comes straight from the heart and goes straight into the heart, watching it as women gives me goosebumps....why such things don't come in lime light or in the romcoms.....this is a MASTERPIECE 💭💎

the henna, and the woman at 2:45 is stunning, like nothing I have ever seen, just amazing

These guys will take indian music scene to another level

Oh my goodness, now this is called "Art" in its most prestine form. May God bless 🙏

I have debated whether or not to share this.. I'm a Kenyan woman and a few weeks before I saw this I had the second weirdest dream in NY life with similar scenes and yes black Indian women plus one old african friend of mine. We were in some sort of temple and there was an altar where a lady would lie down and the rest surrounded her swaying left to right. One on the altar was vibrating way too fast and my old friend told me not to go in but I was so curious and as much as it was a dream I had a choice and I got in and she dissapeared in the outside crowd. I was more interested in what was happening in the temple on the altar but I woke up and I fucking wish y'all would see it... Then I saw this and I couldn't help it tears just came out my eyes and I felt so many feelings I couldn't explain...Thank you for your art and lots of love from Kenya 😊

VER POWERFUL IMAGERY AND A STRONG SENSE OF AMBIGUITY SO MUCH SO THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE RELIGIOUS TO UNDERSTAND THE VISUAL ALLEGORY THAT IS IN TANDEM TO THE MUSIC... A VERY POWERFUL EXPRESSION...AND BEAUTIFUL TOO.

00:10 Those eyes are so terrific it shook me thank God it's human eyes😊😊

I love this actress Seema Hari. She is pure beauty. I wish many ppl will come know abt her. She is so graceful. 😍

Such kind of music and picturization carry some power of their own .....literal goosebumps!!!

instant subscribe, never heard of khanvict, just got this recommended, this is seriously incredible and breathtaking, when she transformed into kali i started crying, this is magic

insta ad is one of the best way to find some best underground songs

Saw it on an insta ad and man! i have never been this grateful to an ad. ❤️❤️❤️ Straightway following you, can't wait what's coming next.

When Kali (or Durga) is happy and playful ... the joy of life ^_^

Let this song be the purest epitome for future generations showing why the art of filmmaking & music exists - to actually portray something, maybe a cause maybe an emotion - just something too big to be explained through words, where our vocab goes blank, music and eyes speak. Let that sink in.

Masterpiece❤️

Its like modernization is rejecting real beauty, innocence, godess and tradition.

underated gems of india

Needing to watch this several times and each time is cracking me open even more. Feeling this on a cellular level even though this isnt my culture. I feel the scream of our mother earth through this and Kali sacrad rage

She got the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen

I feel bad for people who haven't listened and saw this amazing piece of Art ❤️

This girl is so beautiful... She looks like an ancient Indian goddess ✨

Wow I’m really grateful this beautiful video found me at just the right time! 🌸 Don’t let anyone else dim your light but shine in your full brightness and stand up for your own values! To liberation, to peace and to love ♥️ Blessed be you all reading this 🦋 Have a lovely day 🌞

What a piece of art and such a clear message of self autonomy and self respect. Thank you khanvict for this. Beautiful.

Hats off to this concept. People can not be determined by their colour or complexion. There is a more powerful you inside you. You just have to discover it.

The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.. love the suble imagery!

Such a underrated song....loved it

Power of Goddess Kali. Women power or the power of mother nature, it is the most giving and loving, yet fierce!!

Insaneeee! Felt chills but caught myself smiling at the same time. 🥶

Goddess Kali .. The Goddess of War .. Getting thrills from the video ... Any appreciation is an understatement ...

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CINEMATOGRAPHY. MEANINGFUL, BEAUTIFUL, DARK.🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

This concept looks like the kannaki the lady who killed and burned city of madurai and settled in a mountain Mangala devi.... This seems to be the same story
