When The Beatles wrote ‘Take a sad song and make it better’, they probably meant sadder. Think of it as a personal, curated playlist-and not some definitive list-or a breakup themed music listening party where everyone’s invited: the obvious and the not so obvious, the tearjerkers and the anti-romantic. Listed, instead, are 15 songs that my memory threw at random-along with a little bit of research. I happened to watch Dear Zindagiin a theatre on the day of my breakup, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to include ‘Just go to hell, O Dil’ from the same-too cheesy, even by my standards.
What do you include and what do you leave out? Do you, for instance, look at the timeline of your own history of heartbreaks? It doesn’t always work that way. The problem is when you are making a list. Naturally, Hindi cinema, with its abundance of songs and love stories, is full of them. Heartbreak has a special place in music and breakup songs are a thing.
