I completely agree on your saying about the music and songs of a-now-days. I hear new songs but I can’t enjoy to hear them more the 3-4 times. And I stopped them and go back and ended to listen the oldie and goldie songs of Lataji, Mukeshji, Rafi Sahab, Kishorji, Ashaji, Hemant Kumarji, Talat Mohammad sahab etc. I simply can’t enjoy any new songs. If you ask I can’t name even 10 song to list in my fav songs. I listen and enjoy them for the time being and I forget them as soon as I stop listening them.

Anyway,

I liked the songs of Fanaa and I think this is the best album of the year – musically and lyrically too. I think Jatin-Lalit is the MD who is giving the same kind of the film music which used to be in trend in film industries. You didn’t mention the song Yeh saajis hai boondon ki. I love this song because I love rain

After Fanaa my fav songs are from Banaras – you didn’t mention the song Ishq mein dil ko paagal, I like this too, Omkara (title song too), Gangster, Vivah, Jaaneman….

I liked the most of songs you mentioned except – Crazy kiya re and Himesh Reshmiya – errrrrrrr- but I like only Aa aa ashiqui mein teri – it’s foot-tapping song – I like it due to the choreography

Beside the list, I liked the following songs –
Pal pal pal – Lage Raho Munnabhai
Yeh aankhen yeh kajal – Chup Chup Ke
Ishq net tere Ishq ne – Ahista Ahista
Bolo na jara – Fight club
Janeman – Aryan
Mann ki darpan mein – Yun hota to kya hota
Soniye – Aksar
Hum ko Deewana kar gaye – Hum ko Deewana kar gaye
Maine jisko pyar kiya hai – Alag
Ek nazar mein bhi – Taxi No 9211
Title song of Hum ko Deewana kar gaye

And following from non-filmi album –

* Jeena o hasina
* Tu hai dil mera

from Jeena (My Heart Goes Duma Duma) by Debojit (Winner SaReGaMa Challenge 2005)

* Mera saath sara jahna – Mera Saath Sara Jahan by Sandeep Acharya (2nd India Ideal)

Finally I’ve been able to comment.

As Manish says, I like the songs which have nice lyrics and the tune which touches my heart. I don’t have knowledge about music like you. You are really great.

Loved to read your views in details.

LOL – is there really a Payal Rohatgi fan club!!!! Waise i shud, no, considering the amt of films i hv seen of hers. Lemme watch Men Not Allowed as well now

Dekho Na / Mere Haath Mein – Fanaa
Tere Bin – Bas Ek Pal
Mitwa – KANK
Bheegi Bheegi / Tu Hi Meri / Mujhe Mat Roko – Gangster
Beedi – Omkara

And thats all folks!

In fact, I’ve heard vrey few songs this year – hugely repulsed by the Himesh Reshamiyya overdose! heard some great pakistani tracks like Saali (which I’m sure you’d have heard too!) and Jiya Na Jaaye (Faakir) And of course, rediscovered Rabbi’s Bin Tere (from his debut album)

On another note – are you applying to the Payal Rohatgi fan club? I’m sure there’s one out there somewhere!!!!

Mehak – I know it ended up being pretty long, though i had never intended it to be so. Plus, on this blog it looks longer, due to a tight written space (as compared to my prev.blog). Many thanks for liking the post

Arunima – Wishes to you as well. And listening to Raaga alongside is going to be quite a long process indeed. Hope you enjoy it Well, i hv had a nearly two years of no-tv when i was in Nepal, so i can understand – its pretty refreshing not being a couch potato.

Missed watching many hindi movies and I chose not to have a TV so I missed on the movie songs of those that I did not watch.
