Never get tired of listening to these gems. Review on Twenty Best Hindi Songs

" The most charming aspect of most Bollywood movies is their cheerful willingness to break into song and dance at the slightest pretext; the film I saw was about a romance between a rich boy and a poor girl, whose poverty did not prevent her from producing back-up dancers whenever she needed them."

Like the great Roger Ebert quipped, Music and Bollywood are inseparable lovers entwined in mad passion. There is no situation, no occasion, no emotion for which a Hindi film song hasn't been created.

From sad, soulful numbers to ballads with ornate Urdu couplets; from high-brow poetry to the new trend of using EnglishSultanpuri'hook lines'; Bollywood music has changed tremendously over 100 years.

In this blog, I celebrate this unique treasure, this unparalleled legacy, by attempting to compile the best songs of all time list.
