Yeh Vaada Raha - Yeh Vaada Raha

Playback - Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhonsle

Music - R.D.Burman

This movie realease in the year (1982) and I wasn't even born then!

Even then, this is one of my all time favorite songs.. It's a typical romantic, hindi, filmi song.. :)

The re-mixed version of this song was a sleezy video.. sad- I must say, though the audio bit of it was not too bad..

Rishi Kapoor is so cute in this song and I think he is one of the best romantic lead actors bollywood has ever had..

My recommendation- add this song to your collection for sure.
Aashayein - Iqbal

Playback - KK (my next best after Sonu Nigam)

Music - Sukhwinder Singh, Salim- Sulaiman

Aashayein - dreams..hope..wish.. We all do at some point or most of the time wish or hope some things work out the way we want them to..

This song is another very inspiring song and wants you to go get it and have a 'never say die' attitude..

Kuch aisa kar ke dikhayein..khud khush ho jaye khuda- my fav lines from the song.

The movie was also very good!

Good movie, song, actors and director. Do watch n hear.

Ya Ali - Gangster

Playback - Zubeen Garg

Music - Pritam

This song has the most awesome music and beats, especially the violon playing in the background.. but the sad bit is that this song is a straight lift from a song called Ya Ghali by a Kuwaiti group called Guitara..who apparently are taking legal action..

We should seriously try and come up with "original" music..

What I really like in the song is the Music - should I say full marks to Guitara or Pritam :)

Mujhe kuch pal de kurbat ke fakiran teri chahat ke.. rahe bechain dil kab tak..mile kuch pal to rahat ke..chahat pe ishq de haan.. mita doon.. luta doon...ya ali!

Super song-Must get it and maybe Ya Ghali too, I sure will!

Yeh Honsla - DOR

Playback - Salim Merchant, Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan

Music - Salim-Sulaiman

I think this is one song that's really inspiring and makes you feel that you should never give up however tough circumstances are..somehow this song reminds me of the songs from the film Lamhe (Anil Kapoor & Sridevi) maybe because that film was also shot in Rajasthan..

My fav lines from the song- yeh arzoo kaise ruke..manzil mushkil to kya.. dhundhla saahil to kya.. tanha ye dil to kya..

At the end of the day it's all about hope and perseverance.. so don't give up.

Good song- do hear it.

Nach Baliye - Bunty Aur Babli

Playback - Shankar Mahadevan, Sowmya Raoh & Loy Mendonsa

Music - Shankar,Ehsaan,Loy

I actually picked this song as 'my current song' because the dance reality show on TV called Nach Baliye was starting with a new season... the 1st episode was good!

I love the title song of the TV show but I also like the one from B & B.. it's a nice fun n dance song.. well sung with great music. Rani & Abhishek danced so well.. choreographed by Shiamak Davar (he also did Dil to pagal hai..)

Somehow, you can just tell that the songs choreographed by him.. like the way you can tell it's A.R.Rahman's music..

I don't really follow the lyrics of the song too much, so for people like me.. here it is:

What I really get is.. Nach baliye and burn the dance floor oh kudiye/mundiye.. :)

Lyrics / no lyrics - I like the song!

Where's The Party Tonight - Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

Playback - Shaan , Vasundhara Das (the lead actress from Monsoon wedding.. yea), Loy, Shankar Mahadevan

I simply love this song.. though it does remind you a little of It's The Time To Disco - Kal Ho Naa Ho.. the song is simply rocking.. nice beats, music- love the violon in the song..

Abhishek and Preity look and dance fab. in the song..but the first time I saw the song.. I was really wondering what John Abraham was doing in the song.. but it's ok a lot of people would do anything to feature in a Karan Johar film :) though a lot of people wouldn't agree with me on this one.. I think it's the case..

My fav lines from the song.. Wanna nach all night.. do you feel alright.. & Jo meri manzil tha paagal jispe dil tha haan woh mujhe mil gaya..

This song simply ROCKS.. you have to add it to your collection.
Rock n Roll Soniye - Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

Playback - Shaan, Shankar Mahadevan

It's amazing the way Shankar Mahadevan has sung for Amitabh Bachchan in this song and matched up to his original voice.. there used to be a time when only Sudesh Bhosle used to sing for Amitabh Bachchan.. Shaan is also so good with the 'be my love'.. what I mean here is that he is one Bollywood singer who sings English so well..

The way this song is picturised is fab and Abhishek looks hot! He does the break dance in the song soo well..

My fav part of the song is the 'sarpe topi lal.. ho tera kya kehna..sexy sam..'

The end of the song is really good.. overall one of my top favorites.

Bas Ek Pal (Remix) - Bas Ek Pal

Playback - KK & Dominique Cerejo

Music - Pritam, Vivek Philip, Mithoon

It's all about a moment... Bas ek Pal.. anything can happen in a moment..1 sec, 1 min..is all that it can take, good or bad.

The song's more about love and pain which can go away in just a moment..The music in the song is fab- especially the tabla in the background in the original and the electronic guitar in the remix.. its got an awesome beat!

The original has its own qualities but I prefer the remix.. music is more imp. than lyrics :)

My fav. lines from the song.. badhata hoon hath chhune ko aur ek pal mein ho jate ho gum.. tere pyar mein kaise jiye hum..bas ek pal

Nice song.. but quite a boring film..

Aadat (Remix) - Kalyug

Playback- Atif Aslam

Music - Goher Mumtaz & Remixed by Dj Suketu (he was from my school..)

Love the music of this song.. and the lyrics. Haven't watched this film (very surprisingly since I'm quite a movie buff) but it's ok..

The song's got a lot of pain.. and its like how you can't forget someone even though your not together any more and that there is still some bit left.

My fav lines from the song.. Waise zinda hoon main zindagi bin tere main..dard hi dard baki raha hai seene mein.....ab to aadat si hai aise jeene ki..

If your a K serial buff.. this song keeps playing in the serial Kasamh Se.. (confession- i do watch it sometimes :)

But the song's good.. do hear it.
Do Pal - Veer Zaara

Playback- Lata Mangeshkar (she's the best) & Sonu Nigam (My fav!)

Music- Madan Mohan

This song is a little old now.. but just heard it a couple of days ago and thought this should feature on my blog. From the entire V-Z album, I think this song is one of the best.

It just says that life is such that everything is momentary and will pass, be it good or bad.
A lot of times when we are going through a rough patch we feel-why me? These are just God's ways of making you strong.

Coming back to the song, it just talks about how the journey of dreams stopped for a while and all was good and then each one his own way- who knows where you are and where I am.
So true!

My fav. part of the song is the violon and Sonu Nigam :)

It's a little sad.. but still one of my favorites. Do listen to it if you haven't.

Chal Chalein - Woh Lamhe

Playback - James (the same fella who sang Bheegi Bheegi from Gangster..) Really nice singer..
The way this song is sung is really nice.. It's a mix of a classical and musical song.

Music by - Pritam (his music is really good!- Gangster, Pyar ke side effects..) but I think he's a copy cat too ;) heard this on the radio too.. Mahesh Bhatt said that every1 does, its just that some admit it and some don't.

Back to the song.. it's about telling your partner to come along and lets just be by ourselves..

What I like most about the song is the music.. especially the sound of the mouth organ(harmonica). I hardly ever bother about the lyrics of a song.. the music's more important for me..

A nice song I would say..

Ye Mera Dil - Don The Chase Begins

Playback- Sunidhi Chauhan (has sung this song so well!)

Even though this song is re-mixed / re-composed it sounds really good. It's got this nice beat and keeps you grooving.. In my opinion way better than the original.. Good stuff by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy!

This song is picturised on SRK and Kareena.. who looks so good..

I think this song is gonna be around for quite a while..

Pal Pal..Har Pal- Lage Raho Munnabhai

Playback- Sonu Nigam (My Favorite!) & Shreya Ghosal

This song in my opinion is CUTE and catchy.. it just reminds me of some old song.. can't figure which one.. it's got this really fresh feel to it..
Even though it's a slow song, it's soothing.. and a good break from all the fast songs we here today..

The best part of this song is actually Sonu Nigam.. he's sung it really well..especially towards the end of the song when they sing along together..

People who haven't heard this one.. sure should!

Tere Bin (Remix)- Bas Ek Pal

This track's sung by Atif Aslam (yeah the same 1 who sang Aadat, Woh Lamhe..)
This is one Paki singer who's brilliant! The beats of this song are so good.. The original's also good.. but this is Just Nice.

My Recommendation- A Must Hear, Must have in your collection..

Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai -Woh Lamhe

Starring- Shiney Ahuja & Kangana Raut (?)

Playback- KK (does he sing like God or what!)

My fav line from this track- "Kal tha fakir aaj dil shehzada hai...Lagta Khuda ka koi nek iraada hai..." and the guitar playing in the background is simply Super!

I've heard this song over a dozen times now but just can't get the lyrics yet!

Here goes: http://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_song_Kya%20Mujhe%20Pyar%20Hai.html

So Sing Along ;)
