ID a Bollywood song
June 9, 2016 5:51 AM Subscribe
I am trying to find a song from a Bollywood movie. Please hope me if you can, based on the little I remember. Difficulty: I don't speak Hindi.
The movie would have come out 2004-2007, and I think I remember it was about a young couple in an arranged marriage getting to know each other over time. The song was an upbeat dance song, but not a bass-heavy club song or anything like that. It had a longish title, 5-7 words, and here's the part that might actually help you help me -- it reminded me of Mere Sarpe Dupatta from Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo -- I had them in the same playlist on my (dead!) iPod.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

Response by poster: Thanks Norm, but I am totally certain that it was a Bollywood movie song.

I mean, it could be any number of songs. But after reading your question and then going to do the dishes, this was the song that I found myself humming: Sar se sadak gayi teri chunari.
So... maybe?

Also, FYI, Chunari Chunari wasn't originally from Monsoon Wedding -- but from a Bollywood film called Biwi No. 1. So, it still fits that criterion.

Response by poster: Thank you guys so much for the song suggestions! I do love those songs, but they are not the one I'm thinking of.
The lyrics were about getting to know each other and falling in love -- yeah, THAT narrows it down, I know! The sound of the song just reminded me of Mere Sar Pe Dupatta.
The main jodi were not superstars at that time (2004-2007), that's all I remember about them. I didn't see the movie, so I couldn't say where it was set.
