Iktara - Wake Up Sid

Playback - Amitabh Bhattacharya & Kavita Seth

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Awesome song, awesome music & lyrics (especially the piano & violin in between verses) & extremely well sung with full feeling is what defines Iktara..

Wanted to try and write my interpretation of this song.. but stumbled upon a very well written note posted here by Amitabh Iyer which is a nice read and good explanation of the song..

My favorite lines from the song are:

Orey manva tu to bavra hai
Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai
Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai bavre
Kyun dikhaye sapne tu sote jaagte

Sun rahi hoon sudh budh khoke koi main kahani
Poori kahani hai kya kise hai pata
Main to kisiki hoke yeh bhi na jaani
Ruth hai ye do pal ki ya rehgi sada
kise hai pata… kise hai pata


No one knows the future.. no one knows what's going to happen and only few can try and predict - to believe it is each one's faith :)

The song comes at a point in the movie when Ranbir Kapoor leaves Konkona Sen's house to go back and live with his parents.. and she is wondering what to make out of her feelings for him and will he ever feel like that..

It's a nice listen.. catch it here and if you're a huge fan of the song.. join the fanpage on FB :)

Hey Resham,

Just a small correction. This song is not composed by S.E.L. It is composed by an able music director and a friend of mine.

His name is Amit trivedi. Apart from Ikrata, he has composed music for DevD, Udaan, Aamir etc.

Some gyaan on Amit :
