Bollywood has always glorified love, presented the most impossible and illogical love stories, but it has given us some wonderful love stories too. And, some incredible love songs – oldies and newbies. This post is about some of these oldie love songs.
Here goes my list of all-timeย favourite classic love songs, which I can listen to any number of times. My ears still perk up when I hear these songs anywhere:
8)ย Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hain
9) Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho
12) Hum aapki aankhon mein is dil ko basa de toh
15) Isharon isharon mein dil lene wale
17) Ye shaam mastani
18) Tere chehre se nazar nahi hatti
19) Bahut shukriya, badi mehrbani
22) Tere chehre mein woh jaadu hai
26) Tum aa gaye ho
27) Kora kagaz tha ye mann mera
30) Dum bhar jo udhar mooh phere
39) Itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha
41) Tu is tarah se meri zindagi mein
43) Ab toh hai tumse har khushi apni
Sorry for the rather long list, but I love each and every one of these songs. Music does that to me! ๐ There are many others that come to mind, but I refrain. ๐ Maybeย some time later!
Saying anything about these songs would detract from their beauty. So I am keeping my keyboard shut. Just tune in to these songs and be ready for some magic! ๐
Priya, Thanks for listing such wonderful songs.

Hmmm. Me too kind of outside the area but still, I do listen to Hindi songs once in a while without understanding a single word! My favorites are the songs from “qayamat se qayamat tak” and “1942 love story” (especially Rhim Jim Rhim Jim!) and all tracks of ARR which of course I get to listen to the Tamil version too!
Other than that a few of my favorites in the recent years are…
Jadu Hai Nasha Hai – Jism
Awaraapan – Jism
Kaho na Kaho – Murder
Ya Ali – Gangster
Tu Hi meri – Gangster
Bheegi bheegi – Gangster
Cheeni Kum title track (a beautiful remix of Maestro Illayaraja’s tune for the film “Mouna Ragam”)
and a few others that don’t come to my mind now.
If I were to make a list like yours, it would be filled with Illayaraja songs for 80%!!
@hari
ithu old favourites… recent favourites are yet to come! ๐
i love kaho na kaho, ya ali, bheegi bheegi and the cheeni kum track too… ๐
the problem that you have with hindi songs, i hav with tamil songs. listen to them off and on, but dont understand, so end up listening to hindi again! ๐ but one all-time tamil fav is ‘yenna solla pogirai’. absolutely love that song! ๐
do chk out these links! m sure you’ll love them… ๐
Wow…..awesome collection ๐
@harish
๐ thanks! just wanted to list my most favourites, but couldn’t refrain and the list went on and on!
