है यही दास्तां अंधेरे की

सब कुछ ही खो गया है जिसमें,
पहचान सो गयी है जिसमें,
अस्तित्व नहीं जहाँ रंगों का, 
जहाँ छोर दिखे न अंगों का,
हमदर्द जो गुनहगारों का,
कोख़ है काले कारोबारों का,
निगली जिसने परछाईं है,
बुनता है जो ख़्वाब हज़ारों का,

माशूख है चोर-लुटेरे की। 
है यही दास्तां अंधेरे की।  

जिसमें हैं घुले से रंग कई,
सदियां भी जिसमें डूब गयी। 
रौशनी से जिसकी रंजिश है। 
इससे ही उबरना ख़्वाहिश है। 
इसकी गहराई के भीतर, 
कुछ राज़ भी छिपकर रहते हैं,
जिनका सच कभी न खुल सका,
ऐसा कुछ लोग भी कहते हैं। 

एक नयी शुरुआत सवेरे की। 
है यही दास्तां अंधेरे की।

Lyrics.

Pal.. do pal ki kyun hai zindagi
Iss pyaar ko hai sadiyan kaafi nahi
Toh khuda se maang loon
Mohallat main ek nai
Rehanaa hai bas yahaan 
Ab door tujhse jana nahi...
Jo tu mera humdard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai
Suhaana har dard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai

Teri muskuraahate hain taakat meri
Mujhko enhi se ummid mili
Chaahe kare koi sitam ye jahaan
Enmein hi sadaa hifaajat meri
Zindagaani badi khoobsurat hui
Jannat ab aur kya hogi kahin
Jo tu mera hamdard hai
Jo tu mera hamdard hai
Suhaana har dard hai
Jo tu mera hamdard hai

Teri dhadkanon se hai zindagi meri
Khwaahisein teri ab duaayein meri
Kitna anokha bandhan hai ye
Teri meri jaan jo ek hui
Lautunga yahaan tere paas mein haan
Vaada hai mera, mar bhi jaaun kahin
Jo tu mera hamdard hai
Jo tu mera hamdard hai
Suhaana har dard hai
Jo tu mera hamdard hai

Must Watch: Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women

Whether hit or flop, the movies like Matruboomi (2003) are remembered and acclaimed because of various reasons. This movie depicts the reality of the Indian society and exposes its path of progress in future. 

Discussing the subject matter of the movie, it can be said that this movie deserves imminent attention as the declining sex ratio is the cause of concern for country like ours. Apart from a dedicated team of real actors like Pankaj Jha, Sudhir Paney, Piyush Mishra and Shushant Singh, this movie deserves accolades because of direction by Manish Jha, which involves imaginative skill.

I am impressed with his focus on change of the attitude of the society regarding dowry system (as this time bride's family is being paid to get her married), which is similar to the pattern of sale of a girl.

In a nutshell, this movie is must watch for social cause and awareness as these movies mirror the Indian patriarchal society.
