Love English music all you want, but NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, hits harder than desi music. Like every single singer has their own trademark genre which they can execute PERFECTLY??
Can we talk about Arijit’s Mai gehra tamas tu sunehra sawera main tera in Kalank?
or his Tum sath ho ya na ho kya fark hai, bedard thi zindagi bedard hai in Agar tum sath ho?
or Tujh sang sukhi roti bhaye in Mast Magan? Ok leave that.
Lets talk about Atif’s Khayalon me lakho baaten yun toh keh gaya, bola kuch na tere saamne in Tu jaane na?
or Rafta rafta tera hua, tere bin mai hu benishan in Tera hua?
or Tenu lakhan ton chhupa ke rakhaan akkhaan te sajaa ke tu ae meri wafaa, rakh apna bana ke main tere layi aan yaara in Dil Diyan Gallan? Ok leave that
Let's talk about KK's Chaand Teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai in Ajab Si?
Or dil kyun yeh mera shor kare, idhar nahi udhar nahi teri orr chale in Dil Kyu Yeh Mera?
Or lut Gaye hum teri mohabbat me in Tadap Tadap? Ok leave that.
Let's talk about Jubin Nautiyal's tum se jo mil gaye, Mausam khil gaye, khudse ladne Lage hum sawarne lage in sawarne lage?
Or Mausam mohabbaton ke, lamhe ye chahaton ke apne liya bane hai maan le in Gazab ka hai din?
Or tere bina main na rahu mere bina tu in raatan lambiyan? Fine, leave that as well.
Lets talk about Shreya Ghoshal's kaise huzurji ye lab dikhlaaye, chuppi lagake bhi gazab hai yeh dhaye in saibo.
Or Ye ishq haaye baithe bithaaye jannat dikhaye hain in ye ishq?
Or Dil bharta nahi, aankhen rajjti nahi, chaahe kitna bhi dekhti jaaun, waqt jaaye main rok na paaun in Thodi Der?
And DO NOT get me started on Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Lata Ji, Asha ji and Sonu Nigam. Desi songs are peak lyrics, romance, emotion and vocals. You're straight up wrong if you think ANYTHING can beat that. I love Taylor, 1D and all, but Hindi songs? Absolutely unmatched!

this part of one of the most beautiful Bollywood songs ever...
डोर से टूटी पतंग जैसी
थी ये ज़िंदगानी मेरी
आज हो, कल हो मेरा ना हो
हर दिन थी कहानी मेरी
एक बंधन नया
पीछे से अब मुझको बुलाए
आने वाले कल की
क्यूँ फ़िकर मुझको सता जाए?
एक ऐसी चुभन इस लम्हे में है
ये लम्हा कहाँ था मेरा
अब है सामने, इसे छू लूँ ज़रा
मर जाऊँ या जी लूँ ज़रा
खुशियाँ चूम लूँ या रो लूँ ज़रा
मर जाऊँ या जी लूँ ज़रा!!

dil toh hai ek raahi jaana,dil ki tum manzil ho
my heart is like a traveller,you're the destination of my heart
dil toh hai ek kashti jaana,jiska tum saahil ho
my heart is like a boat,whose shore are you
dil na phir kuch maange jaana ,tum agar haasil ho
my heart won't ask for anything,If I attain you
dil toh hai mera tanha jaana ,aao tum mehfil ho
my heart is lonely,there will be celebration if you come
ishq se hi saari khushiyan
all the happiness is with love
ishq hi barbaadi
love is devastation
ishq hai paabandi lekin,ishq hi azaadi
love is a restriction but love is also freedom
ishq ki duniya mein yaaron ,khwaabon ki abaadi
friends, in the world of love,there is a population of dreams
kho gaya woh jisko manzil ishq ne dikhladi
a person loses his senses,when love shows the destination to him
dekho pyare yeh nazare, yeh deewane, yeh parwaane
look my friend, these sights, these lovers, these moths
hai ishq mein kaise gum
are all lost in love
tumse milke dil ka, main hoon na
javed akhtar | sonu nigam | anu malik | altaf sabri |

Like sometimes people in college ask me how I can listen almost exclusively to Bollywood barring occassional periods of obsession with a foreign artist.
How do I explain? Only a bollywood song can do this tbh -
Tera husn hai rehmat ya ghazab
Tere ishq ibaadat ya khata
Tu kahe to tere sang sang zindagi
ya guzaroon aaj ki raat raat
Tu kahe to din
Tu keh de to shaam
Tu jo kahe woh sach
Jo tu kahe wohi mera naam naam
To have this be followed by -
Kar le chiggy wiggy mere sang soniye
Kar chiggy wiggy mere sang jaaaniye
Kar le chiggy wiggy sang sang heeriye
Chiggy wiggy
Chiggy wiggy
Chiggy wiggy
I wanna chiggy-wiggy with you boy
I wanna chiggy-wiggy with you boy
