1. Luka Chuppi — Rang De Basanti

If there is one Mother’s Day song that makes every Indian reach for tissues, it is this one. Sung by Lata Mangeshkar and AR Rahman for Rang De Basanti, Luka Chuppi beautifully captures the bond between a mother and her child. Play it once. Then try not to call your Maa immediately.

2. O Ri Chiraiya — Satyamev Jayate

Not many songs carry the quiet power of this one. Sung by Swanand Kirkire and composed by Ram Sampath for Satyamev Jayate, O Ri Chiraiya is a poetic tribute to a mother’s nurturing spirit. Perfect for a reflective Sunday morning.

3. Aisa Kyun Maa — Neerja

Raw, real, and utterly unforgettable. Aisa Kyun Maa is performed by Sunidhi Chauhan and composed by Vishal Khurana for the film Neerja, featuring Sonam Kapoor in the lead role. This one hits different when you are far from home.

4. Tu Kitni Achhi Hai — Raja Aur Runk

Some songs never age. Tu Kitni Achhi Hai is a timeless classic from the movie Raja Aur Runk, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Three generations of Indian families have hummed this to their mothers, and it still feels brand new.

5. Meri Maa — Taare Zameen Par

This is the Mother’s Day song for every child who ever felt misunderstood — and every mother who never stopped believing anyway. The song from Taare Zameen Par was sung by Shankar Mahadevan and penned by Prasoon Joshi. A masterpiece in every sense.

6. Janam Janam — Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

Underrated and achingly beautiful. Janam Janam from Shahid Kapoor’s Phata Poster Nikhla Hero was sung by Atif Aslam and composed by Pritam, with lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil. Add it to your Mother’s Day playlist before the day ends.
