Ultimate Mistake
Who ever wrote the some representatives songs section made a terrible mistake.

Why isn't Mera Joota hai japani in the list. It is Raj kapoor's most famous song, and it is one of the songs that represent him. Please folks, edit this section and put this song in there please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.59.10.33 (talk) 02:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree. Can someone add it? It not, I will do it sometime soon.--Vikramsingh (talk) 06:49, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. Now, there is a gap of 10 years, 1998 to 2008. Any suggestions?--Vikramsingh (talk) 08:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Help!
Folks! help.

There is a 23 year gap. Please suggest me 2-3 greatest songs of that period, so I can fill the gap.

Some songs
Chura Liya Hai Tumne - Yaadon Ki Barat "Just a classic... created 10 years before I was born!" - Ankit Jajoo

Kabhi Mein Kahu - Lamhe "Absolutely fantastic film, with quality music!" - nikki

Aadmi Jo Kehta Hai - Majboor "I like this song because first of all the lyrics are very meaningful and are very true! Also a bonus is because it is sung by Kishore Kumar which makes the song very melodious and is picturised on Amitabh Bachchan and he carries the sad mood of the song very well!" - Munpreet Kaur Mangat

Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyar Sajna - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge "Great song! Sung really well and the film part of the song is great. I think the song is the greatest because it is catchy, singy and explains the films narration" - Tejinder Bilkhu

Koi Kahe...Kehta Rahe - Dil Chahta Hai "An upbeat funky new sound for a funky new era" - Punita Bhakta

Yeh Wada Raha - Yeh Wada Raha "Exceptional lyrics and a great beat... All time classic" - Bhupinder

Humko Hamein Se - Mohabbatien "Lata, Udit (always sounds like he's smiling), Shahrukh, Aishwarya: a killer combination and a beautiful song" - Poppy Robertson

Dhire Dhire - Aashiqui "It is one of the romantic songs that can still be heard today" - Ashie

Suraj Hua Madham - Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham "Amazing lyrics, fantastic location and plus the most compatible onscreen couple- Shahrukh Khan/ Kajol. So much passion and sensuality" - Sarika Prashar

Mera Joota Hai Japani - Awara "This is probably the first Hindi song that made headlines internationally and Hindi films/actors got noticed. Remember the public hysteria in Russia when Raj Kapoor, Nargis and Nirupa Roy travelled there in early 50's?" - Arvind Rai

Chalte Chalte Koi Mil Gayaa Thaa - Pakeezah "One that contains the best lyrics, music composition, filmisation, choreography, and the acting of all the actors involved in the song. Truely, one of the best song I have ever heard." - Mr. Mushtaq M. Shaikh

Bahaaren phir bhi aayengi - Lahore; and

Dil Jalta Hai....[Pehli Nazar]". No doubt the kind of        songs he  sang  were predominantly  the "SAD" type,  but if one        were to look a bit more closely at his gamut, he would  realize        that he was not made for the  sad ones only. Mukesh  was at his        best with songs like "Bade armaanon se.....[Malhar], Tere hoton ke do phool...[Paras], Tum roothi raho..[Aas ka panchi], Dil ki       nazar se...[Anari], Saawan ka mahina, pawan kare soor'..[Milan], Bikhara ke zulfen....[Nazrana], Ik raat mein do do....[Barkha], Mera pyar bhi tu hai...[Saathi], O Mehbooba...[Sangam],Dam bhar jo udhar....[Awara], Dheere dheere bol koi.....[Gora aur Kala], Mera joota hai japani...[Shree 420], Suhana Safar..[Madhumati], Dil tadap tadap keh raha...[Same movie], Maine, Tere liye hi...       [Anand]"  and a lot  more. Who can forget  his "Har dil jo pyar karega...[Sangam] ?

I beg to differ. What would you call "Jaane kahan       gaye woh din...[Mera naam joker], O' re taal mile nadi ke jal..        [Anokhi raat], Saranga teri yaad mein.....[Saranga], Dost dost        na raha.....[Sangam], Aaya na humko pyar jatana....[Pehchaan],        Laakhon taare aasman....[Hariyali aur rasta], Aaja  re ab mera        dil pukara...[Aah], Bhooli huyi yaadon...[Sanjog],

Urdu Translations of Songs
Could someone who is knowledgeable in Urdu give the Urdu translations of the songs in the artice? I noticed someone has already done so for one of them. Thanks.
 * I'll try to transliterate some of the songs into Urdu, but since I'm not a native speaker, I'll probably make mistakes. But I'll try to see what I can do, no guarantees though. --Basawala 17:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Song titles
I think one of the songs has an incorrect title. It has: "ho koyal kuke huk uthae"; I think this should be: "ghar aa jaa pardesi"


 * Thanks. I have made the correction.--Vikramsingh 00:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Which site have Year wise listing of Hit Hindi songs
Some listing of yearly hit Hindi songs is given on page Binaca Geetmala but it stops at year 1980. Is something similar available somewhere for period 1980-till date. Vjdchauhan 21:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC).

Viewpoint
Do you really want to put representative songs. There are too many to put in and through each edit some will keep adding more (their own favourite). It can make the article unmanageable.


 * Yes, there are too many. However I think the current list is a well selected list of representative songs. So far, no one has added any songs to this page after my initial selection. Howevr I have seen them added to other articles.--Vikramsingh 17:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Non-capitlization of song titles?
The only capitalized song title is Chaiyya Chaiyya (possibly because of its own wikipedia page), but why aren't the other songs capitalized? I'm not sure if they should be capitalized, but songs in America, etc are indeed capitalized... why not these Hindi songs? --Miss Burkle 00:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestion. I have capitalized the songs.--Vikramsingh 17:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject class rating
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 17:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Copyright violation
Does the page contain all of any songs, or most of words in a song? If so, that song is a copyright violation, and may not appear in Wikipedia. To be a copyright violation, all that is necessary is to copy all, or a substantial part of a work of art. If that work of art is only a few lines long, it's still a copyright violation. Thanks, Piano non troppo (talk) 06:32, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Intro Section not exactly accurate
1) "Most of them are easily understood by anyone in the Indian subcontinent."

Really? I'm a Bengali speaker from India and don't understand most Hindi songs, and definitely not most Bollywood songs with Urdu in it. Same with other non-Hindi speakers.

2) "The lines of Bollywood songs are some of the most memorized and repeated expressions in India. Yet, since Bollywood has not been considered formal literature, the lyrics of the Bollywood songs have not been studied in an academic setting."

First line: Huh? Maybe in states where Hindi movies are hugely popular. Second line: What? 172.162.118.208 (talk) 20:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Ayan

Confusing terms
The terms "Bollywood" and "Hindi film songs" are being used interchangeably which is quite confusing, because Bollywood song lyrics are not always completely in Hindi, as well as Bollywood films, which often incorporate other languages of Indian origin.
