The Top 10 Rain Numbers

July 6, 2006
Bhaage re man kahin (Chameli)

The under-utilised Sandesh Shandilya spins a delicate melody that reflects the state of mind of a young Mumbai prostitute (Kareena Kapoor). The city's torrential downpour brings unexpected joy to the streetwalker's life and she takes full advantage of it, splashing around in her famous red-and-blue sari. As she drops her pallu and douses herself in water, the song captures her feeling of being transported. She loses herself to the experience (as signified by Irshad Kalim's lyrics) and mocks her new acquaintance (Rahul Bose) who prefers to stay dry.

The song ends with an unforgettable image of Kareena prancing joyously towards an unknown future -- letting us know that even the most unfortunate of God's creatures take time off from their miseries to sing and dance in the rain.
