Father’s Day 2023: A glimpse at the top ten Bollywood songs you can dedicate to your father.
Father’s Day 2023: Father’s Day is dedicated to the bond between all the fathers and their sons and daughters. A relationship that has a deeper connection but is often left unaddressed. Human relations in a societal and cultural setup are not just based on emotions but traditional values and norms. In Asian societies the father-son dynamics are such that a lot remains unsaid due to the sense of respect and communication gap. However, love and respect are meant to be felt through actions and behaviour rather than words. But art and cinema have played pivotal roles in expressing feelings of affection, attachment, happiness and belongingness. Bollywood movies have time and again depicted parent-child relationships through engaging storytelling and soothing songs.
