Telephone Songs

Last month when I was compiling the list of my favourites for 1999 Hindi film songs, I came across Mujhe Raat Din Bas Mujhe Chahti Ho from Sangharsh. The song reminded me of my list of telephone songs of Bollywood. A preliminary list of songs was ready which I compiled almost a year back. And …

Playback Singer’s Cameo

The concept of this post was on my mind for a long time. While I had gathered a few songs nearly six months back, it wasn't until the last couple of months or so that I got a chance to complete it. A cameo is one where a celebrity makes a guest appearance or a …
