Kabira is easily one of the finest songs of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The song written by Amitabh Bhattacharya akin to “Iktaara” from Wake Up Sid, is truly beautiful in the way it conveys images, disdain and detachment. Phrases like ‘tujh ko pukaaray teri parchhaaiyaan’, references to the protagnist as ‘nirmohee’ and memories with ‘chaarpaai’ & ‘purvaai’ is just perfect. A beautiful song which in its simplicity touches the soul.
The Urdu word ‘Raabta’ translates directly to ‘a connection, bond, or link.’ Written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the song explores the profound feeling of finding an instant, deep familiarity with a stranger. It describes an attachment so intense that the heart feels as though it is completing a bond started in a past life. Sung in its most famous versions by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, the track has become a timeless romantic anthem for soulmates.
Raabta Meaning: Raabta meaning ‘Contact’ is a beautiful song from Agent Vinod, in the context of the song Raabta means ‘unexplained connection’. Written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and composed by Pritam, Raabta is a song whose style falls half way between Sufi and traditional Bollywood, and thats what made me totally fall in love with it.
