Mothers are special, aren't they? No matter how big you grow, no matter who you stay with, you cannot lose the special connection you have with your mother. Well, you really don't want us to tell us how wonderful mothers are - in fact, the word 'wonderful' would have been coined only to describe mothers. One of the general perceptions about moms is how they sing beautiful lullabies to make their kids sleep. Mother's Day 2019: Amitabh Bachchan Croons a Moving Song Celebrating Motherhood (Watch Video).

Do make sure you give your mom a hug after listening to them! Mother's Day 2019 Date: Origin, History, Significance of the Day Celebrating Moms and Motherhood!

"Meri Pyari Ammi" (Secret Superstar)

Let's start the list with a fairly recent one. Composed by Amit Trivedi and sung beautifully by Meghna Mishra, this one is both playful and lilting.

"Luka Chuppi" (Rang De Basanti)

This sad song, composed by AR Rahman, has some really lovely lyrics by Prasoon Joshi. It narrates about a mother seeking out her kid, and the son telling her the marvels of where he is hiding. With the visuals of a funeral and a mother mourning for her dead son, Luka Chuppi could break your hearts.

"Maa" (Taare Zameen Par)

Another beautiful, melancholic song that's written by Prasoon Joshi. This time he talks about a kid's fears and how he depends on his mother to help him get through them. For she knows everything, doesn't she?

"Mumma" (Dasvidaniya)

This underrated gem from this Vinay Pathak-starrer is an excellent ode to how marvellous our mothers are. So next time, you want to appease your mom, you know which song you had to sing!

"Aisa Kyun Maa" (Neerja)

Neerja as a movie is a tearjerker. And this song does little to help you stop the torrents of tears ebbing from your eyes!

"Tu Kitni Achchi Hai" (Raja Aur Rank)

Now for a classic! This yesteryear hit is about how wonderful, how naive our mothers are. The song may have bee composed years back, but the emotions and the feels still reverberate with us even today!

"Sandese Aate Hain" (Border)

I know this evergreen song is about soldiers thinking about their loved ones back home. That said, the final stanza, with some poignant lyrics from Javed Akhtar, is about how a son is missing his lonely mother back home. If you are someone who hasn't seen his or her mom for some time, this part will break you down!
