Hi. Can you please update your half-yearly list of best tamil + hindi songs for 2013?
I haven't had the time to listen to any songs this year...but your list is always a good cheat sheet to follow...
All I know is that I lost my heart to "Aashiqui 2" songs...
it's been a long, long time since I've been an avid Bollywood listener...but Arijit Singh's "Tum Hi Ho" has been the exception.
His voice and the lyrics cut open your heart...
he should get best male playback singer this year and if he doesn't...
it's just proof of how corrupted award functions truly are.
I saw the movie only recently and although the storyline is nothing new...
there were the heartiest scenes of soul-stirring hugs, love-hate relationship, tears and smiles of a man and a woman.
They were shot beautifully, pleasantly and heartily - without much obscenity - no indecent exposures, no extra-marital affairs, no item songs, no elongated lip-lockings or any double-meaning dialects.
It's surprising to watch because the movie afterall comes from Mahesh Bhatt's camp and he is famous for all these things.
It's even more surprising to know the heroine of this movie is our villain/ rape specialist Shakti Kapoor's daughter...
I mean, I have seen his movies as a kid and he was famous for his rape roles back in the 80s and early 90s...
but to have his daughter act with beauty, dignity and simplicity in 2013 (a time when heroines are eager to turn Bollywood into a soft po*n industry)...shows that he is a man of substance indeed.
I really do miss watching those movies of the 90s.
Innocence is lost on the big screen these days.
A few like "Aashiqui 2" and "Raanjhaana" with newcomer male leads in Bollywood have become blockbusters because they chose to stay away from today's trend in cinema.
