We all always talk about the songs that blew up its records, the songs that are popular amongst almost everyone, the songs that everyone know about and listen to. Those are evergreen songs with entirely beautiful lyrics and which got huge amount of praise and success that they deserved. But today, I would like to take a moment to appreciate those Bollywood songs which do have the finest lyrics and music, but did not get the deserved appreciation and love. These songs are lesser known to many people because in some cases the movies did not go a super hit and these songs remained unrecognized. Once you listen to these songs you will realize that they shouldn't be underrated and that they do have the potential to give us all the feels yet remained unfamous. But it's never too late, you can always listen to them and appreciate them now. These melodious songs will leave you with a feeling of happiness and awe. I am also happy and proud that I have known these songs. Take a read at the list below to discover some of the beautiful Bollywood songs which are underrated and forgotten. 

1) Aashiq Tera (from- Happy Bhag Jayegi):

This movie is itself underrated, then how will the song be appreciated? This is a song with such a pleasant music and the lyrics are on-point which clearly describes the situation of a one-sided lover. The video is flooded with cuteness because of the bubbly Diana Penty and as cute as always Abhay Deol. What are you waiting for? Click on the video above and listen to this song and also catch up on the full audio song to amaze yourself. 

2) Afeemi (from- Meri Pyaari Bindu):

As the name of the song, the whole song is also 'Afeemi' itself. This song will surely intoxicate you slowly once you start listening to it. I just wonder why this song is not much loved and known to people, because it has everything right from meaningful lyrics to soulful music to sweet voices and last but not the least, a cute and romantic lead pair. 

3) Mar Jaayen (from- Love Shhuda):

Atif Aslam is a magician who does magic with his voice and we can't help but fall in love with his voice and remain his fan forever. This song is sung by Atif Aslam and the music is given by Mithoon. The lyrics are so simple and so deep at the same time. 

4) Tera Naam Doon (from- Entertainment):

Another song sung by Atif Aslam which is a pure melody. We can also not forget Shalmali Kholgade's voice which adds on to the mesmerization. If you have not yet heard this song then you are surely living under a rock. Listen to it and add it to your playlist, I am sure you won't regret. 

5) Nazdeekiyaan (from- Shaandaar):

The video song has such a beautiful presentation and you will for sure have a desire to slow dance with your love on this song after watching it. Also one moment for Shahid Kapoor's jaw-dropping charm in this song. The music is unquestionably wonderful which feels like some sort of fresh breeze is making you feel relaxed and calm. 

6) Suno Na Sangemarmar (from- Youngistaan):

Well, Arjit Singh is also one such singer who gives us all the feels of a song with his voice. Each and every word of this song is so well thought and is surely so romantic and can be used to dedicate to your love. 

7) Tum Bin (from- Sanam Re):

Grab your tissues quickly because Shreya Ghoshal is here to make you cry with this overwhelming song. Not even exaggerating, but the way this song is made, any person will be choked with emotions and will feel sad. This song speaks billions of emotions but is so underrated. Want to cry more? Watch the video song above and see Yami Gautam's on-point expressions. 

8) Gubbare (from- Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu):

A simple and lively song about life. This song feels like a new hope and conveys how the moments in our life are sometimes good and sometimes bad. This song is so heart-warming and yes also completely light-weighted like a balloon that brings you joy. Also, want to point out how cute Imran Khan looks in the song with his new haircut. 

9) Voh Dekhnay Mein (from- London Paris New York):

Ali Zafar is one multi-talented as well as an underrated actor. For your information, this whole song is beautifully sung, composed as well as written by the one and only Ali Zafar himself. This song surely has cuteness spread all over it and after listening to this song, girls will surely wish that someone should sing this song for them. 

10) Naina (from- Gori Tere Pyaar Mein):

Now, there so many songs in Bollywood that are dedicated to the heroine's 'Naina' and this is one of my favourites. I bet you must have not heard this song, but today, I suggest you to listen to this one and you won't regret for sure. Imran Khan didn't do much movies but he surely gave us some of the cutest love stories. This song features Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor and I can say for sure they both look so good together.

His success in the Bollywood industry is so enormous that Shah Rukh Khan and Bollywood are synonyms for so many people around the world. Almost all of us know his life story that how an ordinary Delhi guy made his way to the city of dreams- Mumbai, faced so many struggles in his acting career yet had so much confidence in himself that he proved himself and his worth to everyone.

Comment down below your favorite dialogue from the above list. 

                     

            There is a famous dialogue from the 1989 film, 'Maine Pyar Kiya' which says, "Ek ladka aur ek ladki kabhi dost nahi hote". But now, we are in 2021 and this dialogue is a lie in some cases, but in some cases this is the truth. We have seen many  bollywood movies with a plot where, at first, the main characters, that is, the guy and the girl are each other's best friends and later, one or both of them fall in love with each other. During the phase when they are each other's best friends, they obviously support each other, understand each other like no one else would, be always there for each other and be each other's guiding light in the dark and difficult times. Slowly and gradually, this care and affection blossoms into love and they don't even realize it unless and until a tragic twist hits their story. Having best friends of the opposite gender is a beautiful thing in itself where you support each other, find solutions to problems using different perspectives and sometimes even be each other's wingman or wingwoman, or if you are lucky enough, you find your soulmate in your best friend itself. But only some love stories are lucky enough to have a happy ending, because some end with the guy and the girl being complete strangers, while in some cases, the bond just doesn't remain the same as before. But, but, falling in love with your best friend must be indeed the best feeling ever. So today, I am going to share with you a list of some beautiful and mushy bollywood movies that will instantly make you crave for a best friend from the opposite gender. Take a read below. 

1) Wake Up Sid (2009):

This movie gave us complete best friend goals and also left us with a desire to give a makeover to our own house along with our friends. Aisha and Siddharth become friends at a party and slowly start spending time with each other due to one reason or another. Their friendship grows with time and Aisha helps Siddharth to know the meaning of life and finally the free-spirited Siddharth becomes mature and aware of his life's responsibilities. The friendship between Aisha and Siddharth is so heart melting and has also given us other dreams like sitting on the marine drive with a stranger and gossiping about life, enjoying the little things like 'Tum, main aur do cup chai' and also the roof top meets. 

2) Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008):

Can someone please bring back movies like these? The ultimate best friends to lovers vaali love story that has our heart. Jay and Aditi are two best friends completely opposite to each other yet always togethet. People around them see them as something more than just best friends but they never see each other in that light. They try to set up each other with different people thinking that their partners will have no problem with their friendship, but this eventually leads to complications in their lives and their bond with each other. They see their friendship slipping away, it's only then when they realize their love for each other. Jay and Aditi wow us with their friendship and love and make us feel like 'humein kab koi aisa milega' for whom we will sing the song 'Tera mujhse hai pehle ka naata koi, yunhi nahi dil lubhaata koi, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. Uff! 

3) Jab We Met (2007):

Aditya Kashyap is a complete stranger to Geet, a crazy and talkative girl who he meets on a train. After Geet misses her train for the second time, Aditya gets stuck with her and takes up the responsibility to leave her home safely. On the way, they both become good friends and Geet helps Aditya to understand the true meaning of life. Aditya joins in her craziness but also helps her in everything including eloping from her house. Even in her difficult times, he leaves everything behind to go and fetch her and help her win her love and have a happy life. Geet sees Aditya as his good friend who is always there for her until she realizes that no one can be as perfect as Aditya for her and Aditya on the other hand is already hopelessly in love with her. There had been many posts on Instagram these days which say, 'Girls want only one thing and that's Aditya from Jab We Met' and that's true, why wouldn't anyone want to have a guy best friend and lover like Aditya Kashyap? 

4) Hasee Toh Phasee (2014):

Nikhil and Meeta are probably the most underrated couple from a Bollywood movie. Meeta is an eccentric yet smart girl who is Nikhil's girlfriend Karishma's sister. She ran away against her family's will for her career and is back at her house during Karishma and Nikhil's wedding. Karishma doesn't allow her to stay at home and arranges a filthy place for her stay. But when Nikhil comes to know about this he takes Meeta to his house for stay. Later when he learns that Meeta is Karishma's sister and how things have gone sour between Meeta and her family, he supports her and helps her through her difficult times. Girls after seeing Nikhil's gentleman attitude towards the quirky Meeta will search for someone like Nikhil to be their best friend. Nikhil and Meeta also have this cute best friends stage but in the end, 'Pyaar toh hona hi tha'. 

5) Dostana (2008):

The movie Dostana has the story where yes, the guys do fall in love with their girl best friend but never get the girl. Sam and Kunal fall in love with their roommate and their very good friend Neha, but Neha falls in love with someone else. Sam and Kunal had resorted to a lie of being a gay couple to get an apartment where they live with Neha but this lie stops them from winning over Neha. With time, Neha, Kunal and Sam's bond gets stronger but when Neha finds out the truth, she asks Sam and Kunal to leave her house. But best friends are best friends, both Sam and Kunal do a really unexpected thing for Neha in the end so that she can get back her love. Here we have the girl having not one but two guy best friends and their story ends up in 'we're just friends' itself.

6) Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012):

Riana and Rahul get completely drunk one night and accidentally marry each other. Riana is later thrown out by her landlord and Rahul helps her by giving her shelter at his home until the annulment of their marriage. During the time they spend with each other Riana changes the inelegant Rahul Kapoor and makes him rather smart and bold. It is only because of Riana that Rahul is able to bring a complete change into his dull life and become confident and content in life. They both obviously become best friends but Rahul falls for Riana. When he tries to express his feelings, Riana doesn't reciprocate his feelings and convinces him to stay best friends just as they are because she likes him alot as a human being and can't afford to lose him due to a relationship and this is yet another story which ends up with the girl and the boy being best friends. 

                So, these were some of the movies with the concept of a girl and a boy being best friends. Some of the stories end up with love and some do not end that way. But one way or another, these movies always prove to be the cutest and the chemistry between the best friends makes us want to have a best friend from the opposite gender. Comment down below your favourite movie from the above list. 

                

             As cliche as this might sound, but 'Old is Gold', old is truely and purely gold! There is really no comparison or competition for the old hindi songs. We had so many melodious singers at that time whose voices still continue to rule our hearts. Amongst them, Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar is the one classic duo of that time. They both were the most respected and acclaimed singers of their time. Their soul touching songs are still alive and are etched in our hearts forever. People still choose to tune into these melodies to relax and calm themselves and have a happy time with themselves. On a dreary Tuesday afternoon, unwinding to the sounds of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar will bring you complete peace and will instantly teleport you to the olden and golden times. The 'as sweet as sugar' voices of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar will completely fill your mind with bliss and for sure their songs will make you feel so many emotions. They will give you a feeling of utter happiness which I guess no other thing can ever give you. Let's take a trip down the memory lane while taking a look at the 10 best Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar songs. 

1) Waada Karo Nahi Chhodogi (from- Aa Gale Lag Jaa): 

Shashi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore can't be more adorable in this song. A song of 'Pyaar and Takraar'. The music is directed by R.D. Burman. Sharmila Tagore is frustrated and fed up in this song because of Shashi Kapoor and we can hear that exact tone in Lata Mangeshkar's voice as she always modulated her voice as per the emotions of the song which added life to the song. 

2) Kora kaagaz tha yeh mann mera (from- Aradhana): 

Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna look absolutely beautiful in this song while romancing in the mountains. The lyricist of this song is Anand Bakshi while the music is given by S.D. Burman. 

3) Gore rang pe na itna guman kar (from- Roti):

From the movie Roti, Gore rang pe na itna guman kar, is a playful song between two lovers. Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar's versatility is proven with each and every song sung by them. They always have something different to offer to the audience. This song is also a different and light-hearted one that makes you feel joyful.

4) Tere mere milan ki yeh raina (from- Abhimaan):

A slow and calm love song particularly if you are in a mood to relax and get away from the noise and chaos of everyday life. Listening to this song before going to bed is surely going to give you a peaceful sleep. 

5) Aasman Ke Neeche (from- Jewel Thief):

Actually all the old songs make me feel happy but this is one particular song that hits differently. Maybe its because of the music and also Dev Anand. The movie Jewel Thief also has two other iconic songs like Raat Akeli Hai sung by Asha Bhosle and Hothon pe aisi baat by Lata Mangeshkar.

6) Gaata rahe mera dil (from- Guide):

The beginning of the song where Kishore Kumar goes, "Gaata rahe ae ae....... mera dil....." is itself a proof that this song is going to be legit. To your amazement, you will find that this song is truely a masterpiece. Also, there's one particular thing that I like in this song and that is the shade of Waheeda Rehman's saree in the song. I know this is completely irrelevant to the topic but I just wanted to share this. 

7) Tere chehre se (from- Kabhi Kabhie):

Pouring out all the emotions into a song is the one skill of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar that fills a song with life. This one is a lively and romantic song featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Rakhee. 'Tere chehre se nazar nahi hatt ti, nazaare hum kya dekhe', this one line conveys so many feelings and is powerful in its own way. 

8) Aapki aankhon mein kuch (from- Ghar):

Lata Mangeshkar is rightly called as the Nightingale of Bollywood and no one can ever deny this fact. 'Aapki aakhon mein kuch' is a love-filled song with utterly beautiful lyrics. Lyricist Gulzar believes that words should either,"Amaze or amuse" for the listener to want to understand the meaning of the lyrics. 

9) Jaane kaise (from- Shakti):

A peppy song with rather enthusiastic music. Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar's voice suits to such songs just as the same way it would suit on a slow and calm song. Their voice modulation definitely proves their singing prowess and tells us why they are legends. 

10) Achcha toh hum chalte hai (from- Aan Milo Sajna):

The 1970 movie 'Aan Milo Sajna' has the most beautiful album. All the songs in this movie are a treat to listen to. Each song has its own different magic and this song too is tremendously popular for its conversation style composition of the lyrics which makes it a bit different. The lyrics are also somewhat simple to understand yet hold some beauty in itself. 

                   So these were some of the 'never-getting-old' songs sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. But this is not the end, these were just a few of the songs sung by them, the list is surely endless and it would take a lot of time to discuss about their magic and their enchanting songs. These songs will continue to fill our hearts with love and happiness. Comment down below your favorite song sung by this classic duo. 

              

                 The actor with an undeniable charm, bushy eyebrows, a dapper personality and alluring dimples. Yes, its the one and only- Ayushmann Khurrana! He manages to steal our hearts in an instant just with his contagious smile and laugh. The most adorable thing about him is whenever he smiles, his eyes almost get closed more than it would be in an ordinary duchenne smile and his dimples straightly make a way into my heart and my mind sings 'Oh haareya main dil haareya'. 

                    Ayushmann Khurrana never fails to amaze us with his outstanding performances. He is an actor who looks for challenges and always chooses the best scripts. Be it Vicky Arora or be it Chirag Dubey, we can't deny the awesomeness of the roles he has played with such sheer perfection. Ayushmann Khurrana is a multi-talented person and is not only an actor but also a singer, writer and an excellent talk show host as well which makes me feel like, "ek hi toh dil hai, kitni baar jeetoge?" Ayushmann is also a complete family man and the best husband and father a woman could ever ask for. He married his high-school sweetheart in November, 2008 after being together with her for 7 years in a relationship. He is a selenophile which makes me love him even more. 

                      The boy who came all the way from Chandigarh, won the roadies season 2, became a show host for several TV shows, and finally fulfilled his big dream by making a debut in Bollywood with Vicky Donor, is our Ayushmann Khurrana! But this is not the end, after several unsuccessful films like Nautanki Saala!, Bewakoofiyaan and Hawaizaada, he started his own band named 'Ayushmann Bhava' which shows us his 'never give up' attitude and his whole journey inspires us to be perseverant in achieving our goals. He has been a true blessing to the Bollywood industry and is being prominently hailed for his acting prowess through which he strongly portrays characters of men tackling social issues. But, be it real life or reel life, he is that Ayush'man'n who has kept us astonished with everything he does. Well, well, I can't stop singing songs of praise for him but I would like to conclude by saying how he is just an amazing human being. On the work front, he will be seen in Abhishekh Kapoor's 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui' alongside Vaani Kapoor and in Anubhav Sinha's next named 'Anek'. Totally excited and awaiting to see what he has in store for us.

                So, these were the 10 best Shah Rukh Khan movies to watch. There is actually a huge list of the best movies in his whole career, but these are especially from the 90s and early 2000s. Some of these movies especially from the 90s are lesser known to some people and that is why I wanted to recommend those and some are the best super hits which we all know. So how many movies have you already watched from the above list and how many are going to be added to your watchlist? Let me know in the comments below. Also share which is your favourite movie of Shah Rukh Khan. 

                  

       The people who belong to the 90s know that the era of 90s was all about evolution. The telephones and landlines were evolved into cordless and later pagers, the simple antenna T.Vs became cable TVs and mainly Bombay was changed to Mumbai. So in this era of evolution how could the Bollywood industry take a back seat? The era of the 1990s was a remarkable time in Bollywood as well. The industry got its 3 Khans at this time starting with Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and then Shah Rukh Khan. Later, we had Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan making their marks in Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan's magnum opus 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge' and a great movie like 'Hum Aapke Hai Koun' also belong to this time. The storyline of movies surrounding familial bonds as well as the stories where the couple elope and marry each other due to society and family constraints had become a bandwagon at that times. The movies of the 90s always had a touch of drama and romance. Other than drama and romance, the movies also had thrill, music, action and humour and almost everything that's required to make the most entertaining movies. This was also the era of K-K-K-Kiran, Simran, and 'Dhak-Dhak girl', Madhuri Dixit. Reminiscing about the 90s always fills people with a sense of happiness and nostalgia. So let's just do a throwback to the 90s with a list of the best Bollywood movies of that time that will make a great watch list for the people who love the 90s. 

1) Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahin (1991):

A light-hearted romantic movie with Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt in the lead. This movie is all about 'Love by Chance' and also has some of the best songs. Its story was adapted from the film 'It happened one night'. The movie is definitely a treat to watch as it consists of running from one place to another and another and another!

2) Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander (1992):

A movie focusing mainly on competition, hard work and rivalry. The story of the movie surrounds the rivalry between two school groups for a cycling competition. The end scene of the movie will definitely have you on the edge of your seats. The movie conveys a strong message in a very simple way and that is, 'We can achieve anything we want but only through hard work and resilience'. Also, how can we forget the mushy song 'Pehla Nasha' and the little love stories in the movie which add on to the entertainment. 

3) Baazigar (1993):

The best thriller and drama movie of the 90s. The movie with an intriguing plot and King Khan in a negative role. Early in his career, Shah Rukh Khan was popular for his villainous roles and Baazigar is one such movie with his stellar performance. It is also Shilpa Shetty's debut movie. A movie all about revenge where Shah Rukh Khan's character is set out to seek revenge and destroy a businessman's family. Watch the whole movie to find out why and how.

A story of a boy next door- Sunil, who is a failure in academics but loves music and loves Anna! But when an obstacle named Chris enters into the story, Sunil resorts to lies in order to win Anna.

5) Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge (1995):

Raj and Simran accidentally fall in love with each other during their trip, but Simran on the other hand has to reluctantly marry someone else. A typical love story where the father is against his daughter's love which makes it a perfect movie filled with lots of family drama. It is a completely realistic movie of that time when love marriages were a big deal in India. The movie must have been relatable for all the 90s ke aashiq and is etched in our memories forever.

7) Hum Hai Raahi Pyaar Ke (1993):

A romantic and comedy movie for the ones who want to watch something 'Halka Phulka' and don't crave for much drama. The gang of kids in this movie is what makes it fun and enjoyable to watch. Aamir Khan's character Rahul, is burdened with responsibilities of his spoilt nephews and a niece due to accidental death of his sister. One day, the children secretly run away to a fair and bring back a runaway bride, Vyjayanti, and give her a shelter at their home without informing Rahul.

Another light-hearted comedy with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. If you ever try to watch this movie from any random scene, I bet you, you will not be able to understand what's going on in the movie. It is a perfect movie with utter confusion and misunderstandings. It's a story of a local private detective who gets pulled into a political conspiracy due to misunderstanding due to the same name.

       As the droplets of the first rain fall onto the earth and mix with the dry soil on the earth, a scent called petrichor is created which surely everyone loves. The rainy season brings along with it cool breeze, picturesque views and alot of freshness. The season is a beautiful as well as an important one. You will always find two types of people in the monsoon. Type 'A' are the ones who see the season as the season of 'love and romance' and the type 'B' are the ones who see this season as the season of 'chai and pakode'. But be it type A or type B, everyone of us likes to listen to songs associated with rain and especially the ones which have romance and rain combined. There is a huge list of some amazing bollywood rain songs that popularized romance in the rain, the songs that gave us a dream to enjoy the rain with our partners, the songs that sprinkle upon us some joy, love and droplets of rain (freshness). Even if there is coolness around you due to the showers of the rain, the beautifully thought out lyrics of these songs will melt your heart and bewitch your mind. So below is a list of 10 bollywood rain songs or you can also say Bollywood's romantic rain songs. These songs will surely make up for a perfect monsoon playlist. 

1) Pyaar Hua Ikrar Hua (from- Shree 420): 

This black and white song from the 1950s shows romance in the rain in the simplest way. The lyrics of the song and Lata Mangeshkar's voice will soothe you to the core. It's the two lovers under one umbrella singing a song of love while the rain is pouring down from the sky. Romantic enough!

2) Aaj Rapat Jaaye (from- Namak Halaal):

Amitabh Bachchan and Smita Patil relishing their moments in the rain and dancing to the song Aaj Rapat Jaaye are a vibe. In the rainy season, this song is a big mood as it depicts a carefree attitude which we all need in order to enjoy the rain to the fullest. 

3) Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein (from- Ajnabee):

A song completely filled with romance. This song was shot during the actual monsoon season in Mumbai. A timeless romantic rain song with etheral music and lyrics. No doubt why this song is so pleasant to the ears, its because it has the euphonious voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar. 

4) Koi Ladki Hai (from- Dil Toh Pagal Hai):

The most refreshing and energetic song from the Yash Chopra Musical, Dil Toh Pagal Hai. The music of this movie plays a pivotal role in its success. Lyricist Anand Bakshi had told Yash Chopra-"if this story (of Dil Toh Pagal Hai) has weak music, then you will be watching this film alone in the theatre". But unarguably the movie has the most melodious and mellow music. This song will make you happy and will leave you with a desire to dance your heart out in the rain. 

5) Dekho Na (from- Fanaa):

Sonu Nigam never fails to impress us with his dulcet voice and he wins our heart in this song as well. The ideal romantic rain song for lovers. The lyrics in the beginning which go like, "Yeh saazish hai boondon ki, koi khwaahish hai chup chup si..." will itself hearten you and will leave a smile on your face. 

6) Hum Tum- Title Song (from- Hum Tum):

Ever listened to this song while it's raining outside with earphones on and eyes closed? If not, then try it now. In the video song, Rani Mukherjee watching the couples in the rain and creating romantic scenarios in her head is much for many people. A splendid and soothing song which will surely make you feel mushy. 

7) Saawan Barse Tarse Dil (from- Dahek):

No song can be as perfect as this song for lovers in the monsoon. The best part about this song is that it shows the 90s wali Mumbai during the rainy season with potholes and traffic, and nostalgia hits hard while watching and listening to this song. This song describes the situation of two lovers eager and excited to meet each other during the season of love. It also shows the efforts they take on their way to meet each other. They cross all the obstacles and finally make their way through the heavy rain and meet each other. It is indeed, the best rain song ever. 

8) Rimjhim Gire Saawan (from- Manzil):

Yet another song which shows us the Mumbai rains, oh sorry! Its shows us the 'Bombay' rains, because this is a song from the 70s when Mumbai was Bombay and was less crowded and more beautiful in the rainy season. This song surely has love and romance but it also has Bombay vibes all over it. 

9) Baarish (from- Half Girlfriend):

A new age romantic rain song. I guess there is a strong bond between Shraddha Kapoor and rain as we always see her featuring in so many rain songs like Cham Cham and Tum Hi Ho. Whenever it rains, many of us just want to quietly walk into the rain and close our eyes and feel the rain drops falling on us and get lost in the voice of the rain just like Shraddha Kapoor does in this song. 

10) Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin (Duet) (from- Meri Pyaari Bindu): 

An emotion filled heart melting song. The two lovers in this song have a feeling of sadness in their hearts for not being together but at the same time they still have a sense of satisfaction and happiness for each other. The moment when Bindu and Abhimanyu bump into one another while dancing in the rain and stop and stare into each others eyes, that little moment makes us feel so many emotions in just a few seconds. This song holds very strong emotions as it is the reunion of two lovers and it's just their eyes doing all the talking. 

                  So, this was the list of some bollywood romantic rain songs which consist love, rain and a plethora of emotions. Tune into these songs and keep vibing to them in the monsoon as its the season of love and freshness. Let me know in the comments below which is your favourite rain song. 

                 

           The 1950s- the era of black and white Indian Cinema, the era of soulful songs, the era of incredible movies and also the era of the most memorable actress- Madhubala! The songs at that time had a much deeper meaning and the lyrics of those songs were penned down so beautifully that till date, they have the capability of uplifting our mood in an instant. The lyricist like Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shailendra (Shankardas Kesarilal), etc had some impeccable writing skills due to which today we have so many glorious songs which we can listen to innumerable times without being tired of them. Also, how can I forget to mention about the enchanting voices of Asha Bhosle, Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, Shamshad Begum, etc, etc. Their magic today is still fresh and alive. Speaking of the actors and actresses, Madhubala, Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor, Nargis, Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman are some of the legendary names which one can never forget. For the unversed, Dev Anand was the most handsome actor of his times and girls were so fascinated and starstruck by him that he was ordered by the court not to wear anything in black while going out in public as girls went mad after seeing him in black attire and would jump from buildings just to see him. Now you know why he was a legendary actor. 

                    Bollywood has seen a transformation from black and white to colour movies and today, as we are in the era of colour movies, rap songs, remixes, mashups and remakes, let's just take a look back at the golden era of bollywood which was just called as Indian Cinema- the era of 1950s. Below is the list of 10 soulful, beautiful, amazing, enchanting, evergreen, memorable, unprecedented, oh! I am running low on adjectives. But here is a list of 10 songs from the 1950s to help you built up an 'Old Is Gold' playlist. 

1) Achaa Ji Main Haari Chalo (from: Kala Pani- 1958):

     This song has the golden pair of Dev Anand and Madhubala and is beautifully sung by none other than Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle. It would be so romantic if you used this song in convincing your partner, surrendering and saying, 'Achcha Ji Main Haari Chalo Maan Jaao Na'.

2) Chhod Do Aanchal Zamana Kya Kahega (from: Paying Guest- 1957):

This song is a kind of conversation between two lovers, the conversation of love. The woman is afraid of what will the society say. Indeed, the society has always been and still continues to be an obstacle for all lovers. This song is beautiful in its own way and is a mushy love song. 

3) Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si (from: Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi- 1958):

A complete Kishore Kumar song as it is sung by Kishore Kumar and also features Kishore Kumar. Madhubala, as always, looks absolutely stunning in this song and it is Kishore Kumar's expressions and his voice that adds on to the beauty and innocence of this song. An amazing fact about this song is that, it is inspired by the song 'Sixteen Tons' originally sang by Merle Travis which later in 1955 got a new version sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford, another American singer and also there were many international versions of this song. This S.D. Burman's version is also a vibrant one. 

4) Haal Kaisa Hai Janaab Ka (from: Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi- 1958):

Kishore Kumar's mellifluous voice makes every song even more magical and pleasant to listen to. Kishore Kumar is popular for his yodeling and this song also consists his yodeling which makes this song a timeless classic. 

5) Pyaar Hua Iqrar Hua (from: Shree 420- 1955):

An evergreen song which we are never tired of. The romance in this song is so pure and so simple. The songs at that times always had a deeper meaning and communicated thousands of emotions in just a few words and in the most beautiful way without much fanciness. 

6) Yeh Raatein Yeh Mausam (from: Dilli Ka Thug- 1958):

We just can never get enough of Kishore Kumar. Yet another song featuring him and another beautiful actress Nutan. This song is also sung by the legend himself. This song turns out to be so pleasant that it will give you a feeling of delight while listening to it.

7) Hum Aapki Aankhon Mein (from: Pyaasa- 1957):

A serene song with some simple lyrics and comforting music. This song straightly makes a way into our hearts, fills it with happiness and calmness and then gets stuck in our head. Indeed, Geeta Dutt too has a soulful voice. 

8) Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein (from: C. I. D.- 1956):

An extraordinary skill of singers at that time was that they used to change their tones so that their voice perfectly suits a particular actor. This was the exceptional skill that made all the songs way more realistic and mesmerizing. This is indubitably a marvellous song sung by Mohammed Rafi. 

9) Tumsa Nahin Dekha- Title Song (from: Tumsa Nahin Dekha- 1957):

I want to say this to Shammi Kapoor ke, 'Tumsa Nahin Dekha', because really, he looks so stunning and so charming in this song. All his expressions are so on-point which makes him look even more adorable. This song is a pure gem and will never ever get old. 

10) Yeh Lo Main Haari Piya (from: Aar-Paar- 1954): 

Another such song where the woman is trying to convince the man just as in 'Achcha Ji Main Haari' song. In almost all the movies we have seen the man convincing the woman, but these songs are examples that a woman also takes efforts to apologize and convince her lover. 

                    So, these were some of the best songs of the Indian Cinema from its Golden era. The magic of the songs from the 1950s is still the same and that's why they are rightly termed as the evergreen songs. These songs will pass on from generation to generation and still hold the same pure magic for generations to come. These are those songs which are never going to get old and we are never going to get tired of. Comment down below if you have any particular favourite song from the above list.
