Some songs have a monologue or dialogue exchange at the start or in between antharaas, which is more powerful than the song itself. Who can forget Amitabh Bachchan's 'main aur meri tanhai' in 'yeh kahan aagaye hum' or Sanjeev Kapoor's and Suchitra Sen's dialogue exchange in the song 'tere bina zindagi se koi'.
Then there are other songs, let alone dialogues within it, which come and go away so silently that most of them would not know they exist! One such song, from Veer-Zaara, which comes during the opening credits of the film, has a monologue by Yashji (Yash Chopra of course! :) ). I find it, and the song and the music, very peaceful, hopeful, nostalgic and nice...
Listen to it here: Kyon Hawa
ek din jab savere savere surmaye si andher ki chaadhar haTaake
ek parbat ke takiye se suraj ne sar jo uTaaya....to dekha..
dil ki vaadi mein chaahat ka mausam hain
aur yaadon ki Daaliyon par
anginat beete lamhon ki kaliyaan...mehekne lagi hain..
ankahe ansuni aarzoo..aadhi soyi huyi aadhi jaagi huyi
aankhen malte huyi dekhti hain
leher dar leher mauj dar mauj behti huyi zindagi
jaise har pal nayi aur phir bhi wahi
haan..wahi zindagi..
jiske daaman mein koyi mohabbat bhi hain koyi hasrat bhi hain
paas aana bhi hain door jaana bhi hain
aur yeh ehsaas hain
waqt jarne sa behta huya..jaa raha hain..yeh kehta huya..
Dil ki vaadi mein chaahat ka mausam hain
aur yaadon ki Daaliyon par
anginat beete lamhon ki kaliyaan mehekne lagi hain..
Do you have any such favorites?
