The scent of raindrops hitting the earth fills our soul as the pitter-patter of water is pure music to our ears. Everything is brighter and greener. The weather is beautiful and romantic. ‘Ab Ke Sawan’ which directly translates to ‘this time in monsoon’ is a portrayal of this exact illustration. It’s joy and happiness and love.
Monsoon is the time when you sit with the love of your life, drinking a cup of hot chai. You’re sitting in the balcony or beside the window, listening to the tranquillizing melody of rain touching the earth. Either that or you’re drenched in pouring rainwater outside. It’s almost like the water washes away all our worries and at that moment we are untroubled, free.
Some might deem the weather to be sombre. And depending on the way you perceive it, it could be. Thunderstorms and lighting, loud and roaring, unforgivable floods; monsoon does bring destruction. But you cannot forget the pleasure while delving into the pain. ‘Ab Ke Sawan’ draws a parallel between this common theme shared by love and monsoon.
Both evoke euphoria, yet somewhere along the way, you drown in the depths of the unknown. Everything seems more beautiful and brighter when you’re in love. It might cause unrepairable damage too, but we still love the epic tales of romance, don’t we?
Through the language of music, we see two young lovers of ‘Ab Ke Sawan’, meeting for the first time. We follow their story as they get to know each other, share adorable moments together till they fall in love (in monsoon). What happens ahead, if their tale takes a happy ending or desolation takes over their lives, is something you’ll have to find yourself. Click the video to watch their riveting story unfold!
