Bole Chudiyan

Bole Chudiyan (with subtitles)

This is one of my all time favorite Hindi Bollywood songs! And it's from my favorite Bollywood Movie "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham". This is the song my bridesmaids danced to at our wedding, and we used some of the dance moves from this. Most of the song has subtitles except the beginning. It's 2 songs in one. It's the 2nd song that is my fav. The first song, the guy is singing to the tow and referring to them as brother and sister-in-law affectionately, and the real reason is hidden. (he is brothers with the guy he is singing too, but has kept it a secret so far. The girl wanted him to admit the truth, and instead he sang this affectionate song as a way of admitting it but that they won't really know the truth, thinking he is just singing a sweet song...not that they actually ARE related. Complicated eh?)

Also something else in the movie, is that there is problems with the parents accepting the marriage of their son to a girl outside their caste/social status. In this video, the younger brother imagines how it would be for the parents to accept his brother's wife, and so he imagines it but it didn't really happen yet. That's why he cries. And I can kind of relate with that because of how our situation was. Thank you God that things are really good now with it.
