I love Chori Chori! I have loved most iterations of 'It happened one night' including the original! But Chori- Chori.. My God! The songs, the chemistry and the storyline. âïžâïž
And yes, all the songs you mentioned plus Rasik Balma & Panchhi banoon. Aaja Sanam and Ye raat bheegi bheegi would make it to my top romantic songs playlist every time!
You can't view these movies with a modern lens - they'd fail the wokeness test everytime đ but one movie I love watching is Mr. & Mrs. 55. Great songs in this one too. Aar Paar is another stunning music album. So is C.I.D.
Kala Pani and Hum Dono for Dev Anand. They're his best. I love them more than his celebrated Guide. Kala Bazaar is a good movie too.
Madhumati - Oh God. Please watch this one!
Chalti ka naam gaadi for Madhubala!
