As if this song wasn’t heart-wrenching already in its original form, there’s a SAD version. It’s also a great one to dance to and helps unfold the pair’s blossoming love story in a vibrant and cheery way. Seriously, those two are so sweet together. “Yeh Ladka Hai Allah”Ī very enjoyable song, this one is another between Rahul and Anjali gushing about each other. This scene juxtaposed with the one of Anjali and her friends having their own celebration elsewhere shows the contrast of the two families and sets up the plotline of forbidden love to come. This song is just fun, fun, fun! It’s from the scene where Amitabh Bachchan’s Yash Raichand is celebrating his birthday and has everyone getting down on the dance floor. I mean have you ever seen or heard anything more precious? And the fact their their relationship was initially forbidden just adds to the drama and angst of their enduring love.
#SONGS FROM KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GHAM MOVIE MOVIE#
Those two make my heart flutter and the visuals in the movie of them singing this song together in harmony is just perfect. If you thought Rohan and Pooja had a beautiful love story, they have nothing on Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s Rahul and Anjali. This is such a sweet, slow-burning love song. Heart eyes all the way for Rohan and Pooja! It’s upbeat and catchy and just makes for a good time whether you’re listening with friends or having a solo dance party. “You Are My Soniya”Īnother fun jam! It’s not my favorite but it’s a very cute little love song. And at the end, the reprised “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” line that connects it back to the title track and theme of the movie is such a nice touch. It’s one of those songs that bring joy whenever you hear it which gives it a special role in both the movie and my heart. When this song comes on at desi parties, it’s bound to get everyone dancing. Now, this is my JAM! I was obsessed with this song! I knew all the choreography and even performed it in high school during our annual multicultural show. I don’t understand or speak a word of Hindi but I know this song as if it were a sacred verse of scripture, and that speaks to its depth and power. And of course, after all this time, I still know all the lyrics to sing along. This song has such a beautiful meaning behind it about the relationships within families and the strong bonds shared, so it’s an immediate favorite. (Side note: I do love me some Jaya Bachchan, she is adorable in this movie.) I can just picture the scene when Jaya Bachchan’s character Nandini instinctively senses the return of her eldest son and how powerful it was in showing a mother’s love and intuition. The title track is so emotional, it’s like it goes right through my soul. It took everything in me to keep them from falling. The moment Lata Mangeshkar, “The Nightingale of Bollywood”, sang the first note, tears sprung to my eyes. So, join me and let’s take it back to 2001 for a moment and relive all the feelings the soundtrack gave us, as tomorrow marks the 15th anniversary of this iconic film (and music)! But these songs are best enjoyed when shared with friends. And as I listened to them again recently, it was as if no time had passed at all and I was right back experiencing it as if for the first time. I remember listening to my copy of the CD over and over and watching the musical numbers repeatedly until I knew all the choreography to every song. It remains perhaps my favorite Bollywood picture of all time not only because of the timeless story of love and family but also because of the songs that I committed to memory so long ago. Anyone who’s ever seen and loved “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” will agree that this iconic film has an equally iconic soundtrack.
