Hindi Film Songs And Dialogues In Between

Do you think you could do without having people convey their thoughts/feelings to you or vice versa? Communication is not about just pouring out words to another, every word carries its own meaning. Man is a social being. And to live among others, he needs to communicate with them. Communication in relationships is very important. Any type of relationship is meaningless if one cannot express emotions or feelings. That is the reason we have dialogues or even monologues made. To communicate between ourselves or express it to the world.
The dictionary meaning of dialogue means – a conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or film. According to wikipedia it is a written or spoken conversational exchange between two or more people, and a literary and theatrical form that depicts such an exchange. Monologue is another part of expressing oneself. Apart from these songs have been used as a part of communication too. Mainly as the expression of love. These songs express so much within the time of 3 – 4 minutes. The entire content of one’s heart is poured in it and communicated to the respective person.

There have been some songs in HFM which are not mere songs but they are also decorated either with a dialogue or a monologue. These narrative lines in the songs are either in form of shayari or mere normal dialogues/monologues. But they do not interfere with the flow of the song, on the contrary they enhance the beauty of the song.

Here are a few such songs HFM which include a dialogue/ monologue. Which one is your favourite? Can you add more to the list?

1. Tere bina zindagi se koi – Your heart just melts when you hear this famous dialogue between Suchitra Sen and Sanjeev Kumar. Along with the music, these lines form the soul of the song, taking the song to some another level.

2. Duniya bananewaale kya tere – This philosophical song from Teesri Kasam has Raj Kapoor narrating the love story of Mahua – a beautiful girl. Raj Kapoor mesmerises you with his narration. Look at the way he asks – Mann samajhti hai na aap? It pierces you!!

3. Zara nazron se kehdo ji – When in love, the heart is bound to become a poet. Here is an example with Biswajeet following his ladylove Waheeda Rehman.

8. Naino waali ne haaye mera dil – A Madan Mohan beauty which needs a mention, when it comes to this theme.
