If you are a person born in the late 90s or the early 2000s, you probably are as annoyed with the current crop of Bollywood music as I am. We come from a generation that has listened to such great music, back when producers still believed in backing original tracks instead of re-mixing eight-month-old Punjabi songs. Bollywood music has been in a bit of a funk since the 2010s, and hopefully this trend of bad music will go away this new decade, but as long as Bollywood keeps churning out formulaic, unimaginative tracks, all we can do is listen to some of these beautiful old Bollywood songs I have compiled for you here.
