Weekend Bollywood Blast: A special one for me!

I am posting a special one today. Dedicated to my dear Sister Chutki! Two songs from the same movie.

From the movie Kabhie Kushi Kabhie Gham, starring the biggest stars in Bollywood: Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and many others.

Story line: A billionaire dominant father, disowns his son, when he turns down the girl his father would like him to marry and instead marries a poor neighborhood girl.

His wife  is torn between her submissive nature and need to obey her husband and her yearning to reunite with her son. Tons of drama in this movie!! Classic Bollywood

The first song, is the title song.

Why I love this song
  1. The lyrics. The words express exactly how I feel about my Swami. 
  2. The Rituals: Most of the things the woman does in this song, I do in my home as well. The lighting of the lamps, the touching of the feet, the worshiping of the basil plant, the Aarti, oh gosh, so many are there!
  3. Towards the end, when the Mom senses her son's impending arrival. Yeah, I know, I just love the mushy parts. 
  4. All the color, costumes and jewelry!

Why I like the second song

The father fixes the wedding of his son with a hug and a handshake, without even consulting his son who is away at a different wedding. You can see the look of worry on the Mother's face! 
  1. Wedding song. I just love wedding songs!
  2. A nice romantic song 
  3. Jewelry!!

  2. Thank you dear! Here's a piece of movie trivia: Did you know that the Director Karan Johar made a series of movies all with beginning with the letter K, because he felt it was lucky for him. All were big blockbusters! Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, This movie, Kal ho na Ho, Kabhie Alvida na Kehna.
