This song made me cry while watching the movie Taare Zameen Par. It is perfect for the situation and along with a wonderful actor that Darsheel Safary is, it was a perfect situational song in the movie. Here is my try in singing Maa, a melodious, soulful song sung by the ever amazing Shankar Mahadevan. Thanks to Rosh and Santhosh Iyer for the karaoke track.
Song: Maa
Movie: Taare Zameen Par
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Original singer: Shankar Mahadevan
Sung by: Joe
Requested by: Roshni
Hey Jo, it was wonderful to listen to your version of the song. i was moved to tears when i heard this song for the first time and now i realize i’m not alone…the song does the same magic on every listener.
and hey, thanks a bunch for obliging to my song request. you keep on rocking the blogworld!
Hi Jo,
For a change looks like I’m the first to comment!
Very nice soft rendition- the feel is just in place. What a lovely movie it was and what brilliant acting by the kid!
Again, I’d like to draw your attention to some pronunciation errors: ‘hain’ and ‘main’ seem to be pronounced as ‘hein’ and ‘mein’. Also, it is “DhoonDha” and not “dhoonDha” – i.e the first ‘dh’ and the second ‘dh’ in the word have the same sound. The word means ’search’.
very well done Jo… a suttle rendition of a heart touching song. keep up the good work.
Jo:
This song really had me in tears when I saw the movie. Ofcourse, I think partly is due to the fact that my son had just come along. So– guess I related to it a lot more, not to mention the major effect being brought about by Darsheel.
On an unrelated note, I really hope there are more movies like this which hits the spot
You have done well.. way to go
a beautiful song well sung!
>> Roshni: Thanks a lot Rosh.
It was a pleasure singing this beautiful song.
>> Sindhuja: Thanks a lot for pointing out the diction issues Sindhu. When I listened to the original, I heard the “dh” in “dhoonDha” as different, hence that fault.
I will take a note of “hain”, “main” etc. Thanks!
>> Dhiraj: Thanks a lot Suraj.
>> Meera: Thank you Meera.
This movie has touched so many people.
>> Anonymous: Thank you!
Very well sung Joe. The feel was very good. Except for the pronounciations at couple of places, it was a very good rendition.
Hey Jo,
Good one.. was just waiting for songs from TZP.. Need to work on MTA..
God Bless you..
One of the few songs to have touched my heart in recent years …brings tears to my wife’s eyes everytime she hears it.
Great rendition ..your pronounciation errors are eclipsed by the splendid expressions in this rendition …
Great job !
RK, Jana, Usha – Thank you all. I appreciate the kind words a lot…
Beautifully singed Jo, took me somewhere unknown!! I was eager to watch this film and sure I do it soon.
Happy good Friday and Easter Sunday buddy

Jo,
Beautiful feel as usual! with the Jo signature on it.
Could maybe work on a little more punch in some places, and pronounciation.

romba azhaga padi-irukinga jo
It was lovely my friend. I liked the softness.
Woooow Jo, OMG, was speechless. Great emotional rendition. Thanks for the treat.
Nicely done sir, this one has a different style from the original – yet beautfifully done. Feel was also good.
A very good choice to sing too, I think I got inspired to try this one too

Thank you soooo much for your comments. I appreciate each and every comment from you guys. I will work on the pronunciation more as I try to sing more Hindi songs.
I don’t have words to express my feelings about the film and song. It was a film that, I believe, could move anyone to tears.
YenVee :
Well done Jo. Loved it.
I wish we can do the same song in all Indian Languages !
Calling – Malayalam Lyricists

Jo ..Very touching rendition ! For me the feelings behind the words that matters the most and not the word as such ..so diction issues ignored
Keep treating us
