Dr. Krupesh takes Gujarati Film Music into the GRAMMY Race
First Gujarati Film in race for Grammy Nomination
Krup Music announces a significant milestone for Gujarati music as the official soundtrack of Nanakda Pagla Bhare Haranfad, a Gujarati Clubfoot Awareness feature film written and directed by Dr. Krupesh Thacker, enters the race for the 2027 GRAMMY Nominations. The album and its songs are in consideration across 13 categories, bringing together Gujarati cultural expression, Indian spiritual traditions, patriotic music and a humanitarian message through an original soundtrack.
Inspired by the extraordinary real-life journey of Parv Thacker, the Guinness World Records title holder recognised as the “Youngest Singer,” Nanakda Pagla Bhare Haranfad brings his personal story to the screen through music, family and perseverance. The film’s soundtrack extends this journey into a collection of original songs, each carrying its own emotional and cultural identity.
Created under the musical direction of Dr. Krupesh Thacker, CEO of Krup Music, the album reflects the label’s commitment to developing original music rooted in Indian identity while connecting with international audiences. As the film’s lyricist, composer and singer, Dr. Krupesh has shaped a soundtrack in which every composition has its own emotional purpose and cultural identity.
An Album Where Every Song is a Clubfoot Anthem
The soundtrack of Nanakda Pagla Bhare Haranfad brings together original compositions that connect the film’s personal story with themes of family, belonging, Gujarat’s cultural heritage, India’s national identity and spiritual wisdom.

Dr. Krupesh Thacker on the Awareness Through Arts Mission
Speaking about the album and its international journey, Dr. Krupesh Thacker, CEO of Krup Music and the film’s lyricist, composer and singer, said:
“Music has the ability to carry a story beyond language and geographical boundaries. With Nanakda Pagla Bhare Haranfad, we wanted every song to have its own identity while remaining connected to the film’s central message. Whether it is the appreciation of a father, the bond between siblings, the cultural spirit of Gujarat, the pride of our National Anthem or the spiritual wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, every composition represents a different dimension of the human journey.
“As a Gujarati music label, Krup Music has always believed in creating music that reflects our roots while reaching audiences around the world. This GRAMMY® Awards campaign gives us an opportunity to bring Gujarati music into a wider international conversation. Beyond the awards, our purpose remains deeply personal: to use music and cinema to Crush the Clubfoot Stigma and remind the world that every child has the right to rise like Arjun.”
