5 Bollywood Songs Featuring Kabootar

Bollywood has always been known for its larger-than-life sets, stunning choreography, and unforgettable songs. In many Bollywood movies, we have seen animals being used as a prop to enhance the visual appeal of the songs or to contribute to the narration.

One such animal that has made appearances in Bollywood songs is the pigeon. Pigeons are often seen as symbols of love and peace or carriers of letters and messages, and Bollywood has used them to great effect in its songs. Here are 5 Bollywood songs featuring pigeons:

Kabootar Ja Ja- Maine Pyaar Kiya

Whenever someone mentions pigeon, the song Kabootar Ja Ja from the Salman Khan and Bhagyashree starrer Maine Pyaar Kiya pops into our mind. The iconic song featuring a white pigeon used as a symbol of separation and longing and to send love letters to each other is etched in our hearts and minds.

Jackie Shroff’s performance in the song Chhat Ke Uppar Do Kabutar from the 1992 film Dil Hi Toh Hai where he plays a double role is one of the most unforgettable ones. The chorus of the song is very catchy and the two kabutar aka pigeons who gave meaning to the track are praiseworthy.
