Music - Shantanu Moitra
Lyrics - Swanand Kirkire
Khoya Khoya Chand (KKC) is a film made by Sudhir Mishra of Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi fame.
It's apparently about the film industry in the 1950s.. and looks also the kind.
Sudhir Mishra is supposedly a renowned film - maker and being a bollywood buff, I passed both his films! I guess it's because they aren't the usual .. and are a little off beat.
Coming to the song.. it sounds like a mix of an old hindi film song & a qawalli is what I think..
& yes, the title of the film and song is from an old song.. "Khoya khoya chand.. khula asmaan..." which was filmed on Dev Anand & Waheeda Rehman from Kala Bazaar (another film I have no clue about :) )
Thirak Thirak is another song from the same album which was ok types.. and
The music director and lyricist is the same team which did Laaga Chunari Mein Daag - they do have a different music style indeed!
The lines worth an ear are:
Aaj shab jo chaand ne hai roothne ki thaan li
Gardishon mein hai sitaare baat hamne maan li
Andheri syaah zindagi ko sujhti nahi gali
Ke aaj haath thaam lo ik haath ki kami khali
Kyun khoye khoye chaand ki firaaq mein talaash mein udaas hai dil
Kyun apane aap se khafa khafa zara zaraasa naaraaz hai dil
Yeh manzilein bhi khud hi tay kare, yeh faasalein bhi khud hi tay kare
Kyu toh rasto pe phir seham seham sambhal sambhal ke chalta hai ye dil
Kyun khoye khoye chaand ki firaaq mein talaash mein udaas hai dil
Change is not something which people can accept easily.. it creates discomfort till the time you adapt to change. Similarly, if you're used to seeing someone each day and then you don't it gives you an unusual feeling.. It's all in the head? All in the heart?
In this song, it's about not seeing the moon and then wanting to pull out the stars in frustration!
Ultimately, it's all about change and learning to deal with and it's all about me telling you that you should hear this song some time :)
