The Great Bollywood Songs on Promise

 

Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. Promises are a vital part of building our relationships. Sometimes the poets or lyricists imagine a promise that is outside of our personal boundaries like 'Tere Liye Mein Chand Tare Tod Laonga' or 'Sau Baar Janam Lenge, Sau Baar Fana Honge'

There are hundreds of songs that explicitly use the words 'vada' or 'Kasam in the lyrics but In this blog, I have selected those songs with no words of promise in them but express a promise like Na Yeh Chand Hoga Na Tare Rahenge' or' Ek Ghar Banonga Tere Ghar Ke Samne.

The first song in my list is not a promise-giving song but asking for a promise. This song was written by D N Madhok and composed by Naushad for the 1944 film Rattan
