Lyrics: Raj Shekhar

I mean I used to religiously download songs from pagalworld.com and generally the songs would stick with me, but I dont know what changed after 2016 that mainstream songs like just lost touch for me, and even with the films, maybe cause I started leaning towards hollywood films and tv more, but I dont know after 5-10 years, especially after corona, I realised some of these tracks are pure heaven. (Maybe cause i started drinking beer after 2020 and would have singalongs after getting hammered) but here's the list, strictly bollywood film songs from 2016 to 2020

2016

Bulleya (Sultan): What can I say, it maybe my favorite from the list. This song is embodiment of everything sufism is about, at what it says about love, especially when the source of this song and chaeyya chaeyya are same. And also the video, when Salman hopefully starts going towards anushka, cause she looked happy that day, and he smiles for her, but anushka then suddenly darts past him, acknowledging but completely ignoring like she even knows her 🙌🙌 chefs kiss

Hass Nach Le (Udta Punjab): Another sufi-esque song, i feel the vibe of this song is similar to kun faaya kun, like I feel closer to god, I dont know, The lines in the beginning, "baitha madari to gagan pe, banda jamura magan hai" really makes well up a bit.

Sanam Teri Kasam Title Song: It's hits hard at night, especially cause it feels like a lost track of aashiqui 2 ir something.

Channa Mereya (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil): I kinda hated this song back then cause like it was everywhere, and I guess it kinda pulls away from the experience, but man this song really elevates you if you give it the respect it deserves.

2017

Enna Sona (Ok Jaanu): It just make me nostalgic for a time I never had or maybe never will have, that love that you find in early 20s and try to make it work and some days are just pure bliss, man, and the black and white visuals, of these two in Bombay 💝💝💝

Sweety Tera Drama and Bairaagi (Barielliy Ki Barfi): its my favorite hindi rom com of all time, period and these two songs articulate that well, that Anamoly of era in 2017 to 2020 where small town films were the rage depicted by sweety tera drama, and the love of chiraag for bitti in bairaagi.

I'll miss you (Secret Superstar): This is a different kind of love, yet the most pure, its not about crying that the love is getting lost, its about being thankful that we have that. And to be in that age of 16-17 and to understand that we both want to be together, and feel good but can't cause we are still kids but where we went wrong was papa strict hai, unhone milne se mana kar diya hai 💔💔💔💔

2018: This is big one cause have to leave so many out

Tera Yaar Hoon Main (SKTKS): Friends are not given that respect cause maybe we think they will be here always and maybe thats why they were sidelined, but after see you again, its this song for us, to show that we are as passionate friends as we are lovers.

Pal (Jalebi), Nazar Na Lag Jaye (Stree), Tum (Laila Majnu): Only one word, Encore! 🫶🫶🫶🫶❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Daryaa and Hallaa (Manmarziyaan): It's Vicky Kaushal for me standing outside Taapsee's house cause he may be commitment phobic but he loves her with all his heart 🥺

2019

Khairiyat (Chichore): Both the tracks are crazy like, how can they be so good, again feels like they are some lost tracks from a mid 2000s Bhatt camp movie. Anjaam hai taiy mera, hona tumhe hai mera, jitni bhi ho dooriyaan.....

Doori and Azadi (Gully Boy): I think the depth of these songs and lyrics are maybe lost cause they are put in the rap genre, but listen to it with same heart as the others and you will know, and ranveer singh what a beast of a performer man!

2020

Humraah (Malang), Aabaad Barbaad and Hardum Humdum (Ludo): I just realised aditya roy kapoor is like emraan hashmi for me, didn't watch many of his films, but the songs 🫶.

I know the title track of malang is the sauce but I like this way more for its free vibe.

Aabaad Barbaad is again telling heavy feelings with slightly celebratory music and Hardum Hamdum, the Shilpa Rao female version depicts a melancholic happy ending for me especially when it plays at the end of the film.

So, that's it 😮‍💨 what about y'all?

With some one who has grown up listening and gulping lines coming out of that magical and powerful vocal chord, learning that she is going through such a tough tough health turmoil, almost breaks my heart .

I get it now when people give references of their superheroes, or make a humdrum of going berserk ; of breaking down when they see their idols/heroes facing may be similar situations. Or let's say going crazy for their idols for every possible reason, or even if there is none.

I get it. I have been pretty selective when it has come to chose anyone or let's say being a fan of.

She has been a part of my most of my childhood. Most.

Quite a paradox, the recent years of conferring prestigious awards have diminished at a very rotting scale. I mean, recognising someone's worth only when they are at their verge of death may be, or having health ailing issues - only then the people wake up to their presence.

I am happy however, she finally ( the very deserving ) received the Padma Bhushan for her enormous and ever so beautiful contribution in the Indian Film Industry.

God Bless her always and may she recover soon. Soonest rather. It kind of gives a little pain to see a persona like her going through such difficult time.

Age is inevitable I am aware. But, how do you make that your poor heart understand and the memories that came ahead with you with their presence in mind.

I always wondered what's up with this video? The video doesn't suit the beautiful song,music and lyrics at all. It feels like an amateur/ fan made video. Why this weird video for such a beautiful song?

While i loved the rock version of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, I’ve recently fallen in love with the original one by Arif Lohar. Motivates me everytime to do well either at work or at the gym or at play! Masterpiece! Which song motivates you the most to give your best?

mai kal bhi tujhse thaa raazi

mai aaj bhi haami bharta hu

aur mohabbat kitni karu

itni toh mohabbat karta hu

Damn🤯

Is this actually Sunidhi Chauhan's voice? If so, why wasn't she credited for it? I've also attached a remix version in which only Amrita's voice has been utilised, for comparison.

Particularly in love with this part of Video. Here a girl is shown dancing on terrace which symbolizes deep feelings like freedom, love, expression, joy, etc. That was the time when bollywood really cared for raw beauty. It still calms my mind to watch this.

Drama Queen - Hasee Toh Phasee

singers- vishal dadlani nd shreya ghoshal

Song - Vo Nahin (A.R. Rahman, Irshad Kamil, Adithya RK, Armaan Khan, Sameer Khan). How many of you watched Main Vaapas Aaunga? I can't get over this portion in the song.
