Aazaadiyan - Udaan !

Udaan released in 2010 is one of the best movies that I wish I had seen earlier in the theatres. Thanks to Prashanth's nice reviews and pendrive full of movies, I unintentionally stumbled upon this movie and due to boredom decided to watch it. All I can do now is thank god that I did watch the movie.

It is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and has Anand Tiwari, Ronit Roy, Ram Kapoor starring in it. The best part in this movie is the ending. A very realistic ending supported by beautiful lyrics and music. The song is called "Aazaadiyan" which literally means Freedom. This song has the ability to instill hope in you even in the darkest hours. Hats off to the lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya for giving us such an amazing song. The lyrics and its meaning goes like this -

Pairon ki bediyan khwabon ko baandhe nahi re, kabhi nahi re
(If one's legs are haltered with chains, it never stops your dreams)

Mitti ki parton ko nanhe se ankur bhi cheerein, dheere dheere
(even the smallest sapling breaks into the earth, slowly)

Iraade hare hare, jinke seeno mein ghar kare
(those, whose hearts have blosomming detremination)

Woh dil ki sune kare na darre, na darre
(they listen to their hearts, never fearing.)

Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
(Where are those bars that can stop morning rays (there are none))

Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
(where are such eyes that stand guard over thoughts)

Par khulne ki deri hai parinde ud ke chhoo lenge Aasman aasman aasman
(It's only until they open their wings, birds will touch the sky)

Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke chhoo lenge
Aasman Aasman Aasman

Aazaadiyan, aazaadiyan
(freedom.. freedom...)

maange na kabhi, mile mile mile
(is never won by asking for it)

Aazaadiyan, aazaadiyan
(freedoms.. freedom...)

Jo chheenein wahi, jee le jee le jee le
(those who snatch (their freedom), live)

Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke chhoo lenge
Aasman aasman aasman

Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
(Is it the end of the story or a new beginning ?)

Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)
(Is it a new morning or night about to fall ?)

Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)

Aane wala waqt dega panahein
(Will time that comes give us space to enjoy ?)

Ya phir se milenge do raahe
(Or shall we be getting dilemmas (tensions, troubles))

Khabar kya, kya pataa
(Who knows....! )
