Indian Music Tips & Picks

<p>Hello CC'ers!</p>

<p>I am desi... but me and my family don't really watch indian movies/listen to music. i think in total i've only seen about ~7-8 movies in my life... so yeah...</p>

<p>but i really like indian music with nice beats. could you please give me some recommendations on songs, cause i typed in "good desi music" in google, and there are a kajillion results! [and none of my friends listen to indian music]</p>

<p>er... heres what i listen to [i know its really old... but its so good!]
- Music from Zubeidaa
- Music from Lagaan
- Rang De from Thakshak
- Urvasi - Muqabla
- LOL Kuch Kuch Hota Hai/dilse
- Dola Re </p>

<p>i know... it seems really lame :/ so i need your help! [i like dancy/traditional beats]</p>

<p>thanks =D bumble</p>

<p>LOL. my mom watches a lot of indian movies…we have tons laying around the house hahaha…</p>

<p>I probably can recognize indian songs if i hear them but i don’t know the names of them :P</p>

<p>I do have one indian pop (with a bit of english) song on my ipod though: it’s called “bluffmaster” lol…</p>

<p>oh and another one called “dhoom” goes something like, (8) dhoom machalay dhoom machalay…</p>

<p>lol i downloaded dhoom machalay, something to listen to during homework =D thanks.</p>

<p>wow! really? my parents cant stand how long the dances are [which i agree] and sometimes the movies get really long/cheap. but there are a few favorites in the fam =] i think i gen. like the songs more than the movies.</p>

<p>^^ lol i just realized that i made a typo: it’s “bluffmaster- right here, right now”</p>

<p>and from the top of my head there’s another one : "asoka (movie’s name the one w/ shah ru khan & kareen kapoor) sa na nana nana "</p>

<p>Do Within You Without You or Love You To count as Indian songs?</p>

<p>oh gosh … where to begin? haha</p>

<p>um you can start with these movies:
kal ho na ho
don
Om Mangalaam
3 Idiots
New York (which i haven’t seen, but ive heard its good…)</p>

<p>Any AR Rahman song xD.</p>

<p>I second 3 Idiots.</p>

<p>And there a lot of good songs from Aamir Khan movies (3 Idiots is one, so is Rang de Basanti, Ghajini, and Taare Zameen Par).</p>

<p>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge! Great songs and great movies to watch too. </p>

<p>All of A. R. Rehman’s music is good. So are the sogns from Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Both movies are amazing too, also try Jab We Met.</p>
