I will totally second that 😳

I kind of third that😳 😳...

However, between the two -- my vote will go to "aaja ri aa, nindiya tu aa" -- that according to me is the best ever lori in Hindi films.

Yes Salil my choice is also the same. aaja ri aa, nindiya tu aa is my favourite too. The song is really soft.

The first and foremost lori that comes to mind from the early era of Hindi film music is the inimitable Kundanlal Saigal gem - So jaa raajkumari so jaa. Set to tune by another master - Punkaj Mullick for the film 'Zindagi' this Saigal song still sounds as charming as ever.

I still have the cassette of this song....

'Shabaab' was a worthy addition. Rafi's soothing voice did wonders in Main gaoon tum so jao in 'Brahmchari'. Kishore Kumar's macho voice showed its mellow side in the 'Mastana' lori Sui jaa taara and Mukesh gave his melodious best in Ram kare aisa ho jaaye- a lori from 'Milan'.

Both of the above are wonderful songs...

In addion to all the above that you mention, I was brought up (I remember) on 2 songs which were not really loris but kind of lullabies....

1. Nanha Muna Raahi Hoon Desh Ka Sipahi Hoon...bolo mere sang jai hind...

2. Nanhe Munne Bachche teri mutthi mein kya hai.

These 2 songs have become part of my psyche....One day I am sure, I will singing them to my Kid(s)😛
