Jo Bhi Main

Ranbir Kapoor plays the role of Jordan, a singer who is troubled. Jordan's anxiety comes out beautifully with the song Jo Bhi Main. Ranbir’s dilemma about his path in life is the highlight of the song. Also, no matter whatever confusion you have, you will surely relate to the words and will remember each line.

Naadan Parindey

One of the songs of the film Nadaan Parindey can still send shivers down your spine. By the time the song appears in the film, Jordan (Ranbir Kapoor) has lost everything he ever had. The song describes his surreal images of the woman he loves which adds more pain to him.

Kun Faaya Kun

The song embarks the beginning of Jordan's spiritual journey in the film. Along with Mohit Chauhan, the song has the vocals of Javed Ali, Rahman and Nizami Brothers. This song changes his life when a musical legend (played by Shammi Kapoor) heard the song of Jordan in the mosque.

Sadda Haq

The first song of the movie Sadda Haq was a fast turning into the rock anthem of the modern generation. The heavy strings used in the song took audiences to a world where music means just rock. As per some media reports the lyrics of Sadda Haq is inspired by a peasant movement that has taken place in and around the national capital some years ago.
