The song was performed live on the Oscars stage by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, accompanied by a dance troupe. Guneet Monga`s "The Elephant Whisperers" bagged a well-deserved nomination in the Best Documentary Short category. The short created history by winning the award this year in the category.
