Golden Songs
Music plays a stellar role in Hindi movies. It is really hard to imagine a bollywood movie without any songs. Yes, we can see few movies without any songs but they more or less belong to art category. Many movies thrive on good soulful tracks. Some movies get a good opening at box office solely on the basis of good songs. Consequently, an album is released before the release of the movie and if songs managed to become chartbuster, then there are high chances of movie doing well. In such light, it would not be an exaggeration to admit that music is the life line of Indian movie. If we look back at bollywood history, we will come across numerous movies with amazing songs. Right from the era of K L Sehgal to R D Burman, there are countless gems.
Talking about some of the popular oldies, they still make us go all nostalgic. Lets have a look at some of most popular old songs.
Main Ban Ke Pancchi
Aayega, Aayega Aanewala
Awara Hoon
Mera Joota Hai Japani
Bol Radha Bol
Jaane kyaa tuune kahii
Ai mere pyaare vatan
Ab ke baras bhej bhaiya ko babul
Wahan Kaun Hai Tera
Phuulon ke rang se
Kuch Toh Log Kahenge
Chandan saa badan, chanchal chitavan
Jab Pyar kia toh darna kya
Man re, tu kaahe na dheer dhare
Chalo dildaar chalein
Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hain
Din dhal jaaye, hai raat na jaaye
Roop tera mastana
Meri Hansini, Kaha udd chali
Mere Sapno Ki raani
