BollyMeaning was an Idea which suddenly took off one day.
I had been working on my blog Happysing for quite some time. During that I saw that there were a huge, yes, huge number of people who wanted meanings of words from songs, movies, and even titles of movies. I was trying to give as many meanings in my blog but then it was not possible to give away all that was required without disturbing the actual thing I had been using HappySing for: Reviews.
And then, it clicked me. It wasn't necessary that I adjust everything in one place. I could do more in a new place and give away as much as I knew. As much as people wanted.
Thus, BollyMeaning was originated. Simple as that, we try to provide meaning of and behind any word in Bollywood, be it songs' lyrics, movie titles, song titles, dialogs, poems, and sometimes even names.
As we write, Every word in Bollywood has a meaning. We find it.

People comment that the Rang De song from "My Name Is Khan" are really nice, or inspiring - Have you done a translation of their meaning?
Thanks, PB

Have added a post for the same. :)
Amazing attempt! I browsed through your blog and learnt the meaning of many words, the meanings of which I have been seeking since some time. Esp the urdu words. Now that I know the meaning the songs become more beautiful.
Could you also post the meaning of punjabi words regularly used in Bollywood songs? Thanks and keep up the good work!

I love the song. Had written it long back. I had called it unplugged though. Here is the link
Really an amazing work dude!
Thanks a lot for translation!
I would forward this to many other people! There are lt of south indians like me who wanted something like this!
Keep it up!
Wonderful Job harshit!
Found this blog recently - very, very useful! Awesome job! :)
One request though: would it be possible to add the name of the movie to the tags of your posts, going forward? That way it would be easier to see all the songs for one movie in one place too. :)
Thanks for this very useful blog. I regularly search the web for meaning of Hindi and Urdu words and phrases, though not always with success. Just interested in understanding 100% of what I hear in the movies.
Keep up the good work!
I say, you're doing a wonderful job!! Your site has helped me learn many commonly used words in hindi songs whose meaning i didn't know earlier..very useful! Keep the good work going!
The blog is AWESOME! Thanks a lot!!!
I just wish the search was more handy and, maybe, more songs from older movies.
But I do realize it's a huge load of work and it's impossible to fulfill all the requests...
Very nice blog. Just what I was looking. Thanks a lot.
Mere dosto! I've been longing for a blog like this for many a year!
I absolutely "Heart" Bollywood, translating the songs for fun. Your blog fills my soul with joy. Bahut accha laga!
Shukriya!
Great blog! It's hard to find a Bollywood site that's not cluttered with pictures of actors, stupid polls, and dubious 'click here' links. :)
@nothingintellectual

Innovative and Appreciable.First time i'm seeing a use blog in this.For a long time im searchin gthe meaning of blogging,now i got it.Anyone can share their ideas so easily... Thanks for this innovative Idea..
THANK YOU... i really loved it
gud job buddy...........
I came across a simple line recently, "sadke jawan." As far as I can tell with my lousy Hindi it sorta means "offering of youthful energy," or "gift of youth." Is there an idiomatic meaning?
@jondotkom
This jawan is more of Jaawaan, or one could say jaawaaN, as the N is not really spoken here, and is completely different from jawan that is more like Jawaan when we spell the two properly.
Jawaan means young, but jaawaan instead is a Punjabi form of Hindi jaaoon. The meaning of 'sadke jaawan' is something like 'I sacrifice myself on' something idiomatically, like loving something so much that you are ready to sacrifice yourself for it..
sikh millitants> bhaji apni language same hi a,tuhade punjbai te sade wali wich thora hi fark a .apa k hi ta c.but fucking politicians divided us.
keep it up
This is such a fantastic site! Thanks for all your hard work in translating so many songs. Much appreciated!
Great! ..because it sounds better when you know what it means!
Your translations of the Satyamev Jayate songs are a real treat! Much appreciated! I only hope you‘ll do the song of the final episode as well - Nikal paro re -

Hi guys....I need your HELP....i have a song what i like it very much and i want to know what saying....HOW CAN HELP ME???i will apreciated...here is the lyrics:(Mahiya tenu vekhya bina
Dil lagda hi na
Ki kara
Soneya behke tareya ki cha
Rahva takdi reva teriya
Lamha lamha aise gujri hai raate
Jaise ho sehra ka koi rasta
Tanha tanha khud si hi ki hain baate
Or aansoovo se kiya hai har gilla
Jaane ye kaisi kami hai
Tu hai par tu nhi hai
Teri yaad hai mere jeene ki ik vajah
Mahiya tenu vekhya bina
Dil lagda hi na
Ki kara
Soneya behke tareya ki cha
Rahva takdi reva teriya
Lamha lmaha aise gujri hai raate
Jaise ho sehra ka koi rasta
Tanha tanha khud si hi ki hain baate
Or aansoovo se kiya hai har gila
Sapne sapne jo the apne
Sath main sajaye
In aansoovo main sabhi bah gaye
Wade saare humne wafa ke nibhaye
Phir kyu na jaane kyu tanha rah gaye
Chahoon magar ho na paye
Kasie dil tuje bhulaye
Dhonde tuje soche tuje har jagah
Mahiya tenu vekhya bina
Dil lagda hi na
Ki kara
Soneya behke tareya ki cha
Rahva takdi reva teriya
Lamha lmaha aise gujri hai raate
Jaise ho sehra ka koi rasta
Tanha tanha khud si hi ki hain baate
Or aansoovo se kiya hai har gila)....I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME
I hope you don't mind if I use your translations in an online book I'm writing on Wattpad http://www.wattpad.com/story/3039965-silently-falling-in-love.
Please do let me know if this is an issue.
No, that way it's definitely not an issue. Though, if you want a little longer that a line or two, I'd appreciate if you add a mention and backlink.
Regards,
Harshit.
I haven't added the chapter yet where I use your translation but when I do publish the chapter I will mention you and add a back link. Thanks so much!
