My DIL goes hmmmm….!

A still from Ek Duje Ke Liye

Humein tumse pyaar kitna (Kudrat)

Kishore Kumar croons this track of infinite love. Majrooh Sultanpuri is at his usual best with lines like Suna gham judaai ka uthate hain log, jaane zindagi kaise beetate hai log. For those who pine for love, this is it.

Pehla Nasha (Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander)

Especially for the teenyboppers, this peppy track is about first love. Usne baat ki kuch aise dhang se, sapne de gaya woh hazaaron rang ke... is sure to make your heart skip a beat.

Jadoo hai nasha hai (Jism)

The silhouettes, beaches, the wind chimes and Shreya Ghosal's husky rendition. Ingredients for perfect erotica.

Pal pal dil ke paas (Blackmail)

Deewanon ki yeh baatein deewane jaante hain, jalne mein kya mazaa hai parwane jaante hain. A lover's ultimate tribute to his beloved.

Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikwa (Aandhi)

If love is pain, this song epitomises it. If love is bliss then this song epitomises it. The agony of separation and the joy of reunion could not be described more aptly than… Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat, chaand doobega nahi, raat ko rok lo, raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi baaki to nahi

Bahon Ke Darmiyaan (Khamoshi)

Certainly, Jatin-Lalit's best composition. Words flow like a cascade. Aasmaan ko bhi yeh haseen raaz hai pasand, uljhi uljhi saanson ki aawaz hai pasand. Could it get more sensuous than this?

Humne Dekhi Hai In Aaankhon (Khamoshi, Old)

Sirf ehsaas hai yeh rooh se mehsoos karo, pyaar ko pyaar hi rehne do koi naam na do. Do we need to say more?

Solah baras ki baali umar (Ek Duje Ke liye)

A salute to the love that's defiant, gritty and stands tall against all odds. Jis ne hamen milaaye, jis ne juda kiya us waqt, us ghadi, us pahar ko salaam.

Hothon se choo lo (Prem Geet)

In a world where lyrics could go as kameena ishq, nigodi jawani, a call of love could never be more pious than this. Na umar ki seema ho, na janam ka ho bandhan, jab pyar kare koi to dekhe kewal mann.

Akele hain to kya gham hai (Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak)

When the desi Romeo-Juliet rebelled, the defiance flowed endlessly as Akele hai, to kyaa gam hai, chaahe to humaare bas mein kyaa nahi, bas yek zaraa, saath ho tera, tere to hain hum, kab se sanam

Pyaar hua ikraar hua (Shri 420)

The innocence of the '50s, a breezy rainy night and the melodious voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey. It can't get more romantic.

Tujhe dekha toh yeh (Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge)

For everyone who has ever been in love can vouch for each and every word in this composition. No wonder it became the anthem of the dilwales.

Aate Jaate (Maine Pyar Kiya)

Even though Ram Laxman's lifted the music straight from Stevie Wonder's I just called to say…, S P Balasubramaniam and Lata Mangeshkar teamed up to croon an equally intoxicating rendition, if not better.

Rim jhim gire saawan (Manzil)

Mehfil mein kaise keh dein kisise, dil bandh raha hai kis ajnabi se. Kishore Kumar plus a semi-classical number equals pure magic.

Dheere dheere se mere zindagi mein (Aashiqui)

Nadeem-Shravan's best work till date. Each song a masterpiece but this one takes the cake. Remember the '90s and all one remembers is Aashiqui.

Roop tera mastana (Aradhana)

Aakhon se aakhein milti hai aise, bechain ho ke toofan mein jaise. Cheers to the tempest called love.

Akhiyon ke jharokhon se (Akhiyon ke jharokhon se)

The tremendous faith that love transpires is seen through the eyes of the beloved. Ek tere bharose pe sab baithee hoon bhool ke, yun hi umar guzar jaaye tere saath guzar jaye. Wish life becomes longer.

Jab koi baat bigad jaaye (Jurm)

The bible for every lover. Easily Kumar Sanu and Sadhna Sargam's best till date.

Mera dil bhi kitna pagal hai (Saajan)

Par saamne jab tum aate ho, kuch bhi kehne se darta hai. An ode to those whom love has left tongue-tied.

Tere Mere Spane (Guide)

S D Burman's calming symphony simplifies the intricacies of love. For once, agony equals ecstasy.

Yeh kahaan aa gaye hum (Silsila)

Dil kehta hai duniya ki har ek rasm utha de, deewar jo hum dono mein hai, aaj gira de, kyun dil mein sulagte rahe, logon ko bata de, haan humko mohabbat hai. Nothing can match the sheer passion in Big B's baritone. A must for the lovelorns.

Kya yehi pyar hai (Rocky)

When Kishore Kumar and R D Burman jam together, it's no wonder they simply rock. Tune in for the confusion of first love, the apprehensions and the mystery.

Jaane kaise kab kahan (Shakti)

Tum chup rahe kuch na kaha, kehne ko kya baaki raha? True. What's left to be said?
