Kyon Ki Itna Pyar

The song begins with a mouth organ piece followed by piano keys.

Udit sings with subtle soothing vocals in the build-up part of the song.

The beat effect from 1.01 to 1.03 was similarly used (with a faster tempo) from 1.34 to 1.35 & 2.00 to 2.01 in OOH LA LA RE from TAARZAN - THE WONDER CAR.

The underlying beats are laidback and custom made for a love duet.

The household female chorus does their thing from 1.15 to 1.25

The tune sur at between 2.03 to 2.12 is critical to enjoy the mukhda lines.

Alka makes a melodious impact with lines ITNA, KARTE, KYA JAAN LOGE.

Between mukhda & 1st stanza, the female chorus cast their spell.

1st stanza

The fast paced tabla beats from 3.10 to 3.12 give a tremendous head start to the stanza.

The repetitive tune pattern is very effective and catchy. Remember the stanza pattern of ABA!

Emphasis on Alka's lines CHAAHAT, BHULAYA, DIL KO

The keyboard flick from 5.10 to 5.11 is awesome.

More pinching melody from 5.32 to 5.35 and from 5.38 to 4.00. Strong statement!

1. Udit's soothing vocals and alka's pinching melodious vocals.
