| Song: Yeh Dosti Hum Nahin Album: Sholay Type: Bollywood Artist: Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey Music Director: R.D. Burman Lyricist: Anand Bakshi Rating: 4.5 The first song which comes to all our minds when we talk about friendship. What could go wrong when we are talking about a song from Sholay? "Yeh Dosti" is an awesome song with some simple lyrics which gives you a true value of friendship. And not to forget the duet between Whistle and Harmonica. RDB truly rocks. |
| Song: Yaari Hai Imaan Mera Album: Zanier Type: Bollywood Artist: Manna Dey Music Director: Kalayanji-Anandji Lyricist: Gulshan Bawra Rating: 4.0 Manna Dey may have been typecast as a classical singer but as he demonstrates in this song, he was more than capable of singing in other styles. Is there something with Amitabh Bachchan and friendship? He figures again in this Zanjeer song with Pran giving the performance of a lifetime. |
| Song: Bambai Se Aaya Mera Dost Album: Aap Ki Khatir Type: Bollywood Artist: Bappi Lahiri Music Director: Bappi Lahiri Lyricist: Shailey Shailendra Rating: 4.2 A typical Bappi Lahiri's singing, the song is full of masti and has got a Marathi folk influence to it. |
| Song: Aaya Mausam Dosti Ka Album: Maine Pyar Kiya Type: Bollywood Artist: Lata Mangeshkar, S.P.Balasubrmanyam, Usha Mangeshkar, Shailendra Singh Music Director: Ram Laxman Lyricist: Asad Bhopali Rating: 4.5 Lyrically sounds like a song on friendship but this one from Ram Laxman manages to capture both love & friendship. Although the song sounds a bit similar to Baltimore's "Tarzan Boy", the melody makes you forget it. |
| Song: Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan Album: Yaarana Type: Bollywood Artist: Kishore Kumar Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Lyricist: Anjaan Rating: 3.9 Dafli and Dholak covering most of the song very few instruments being used in this one. The melody of mukhda keeps you alive until it arrives again in the middle and at the end of the song. |
| Song: Yaaron Dosti Album: Pal Type: Indie Artist: KK Music Director: Leslie Lewis Lyricist: Mehboob Rating: 4.7 One of the best song made on friendship, this one takes you back to your college days. A simple and a soothing composition from Leslie and sung brilliantly by KK. A tailor made song for anyone who has just started playing guitar. |
| Song: Dil Chahta Hai Album: Dil Chahta Hai Type: Bollywood Artist: Shankar Mahadevan Music Director: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy Lyricist: Javed Akhtar Rating: 4.9 The song sounds still so fresh and energetic, it truly was an experiment for that period, hats off to SEL. The song takes you on a trip and makes you do all those things which you haven't done before. |
| Song: Salamat Rahe Dostana Hamara Album: Dostana Type: Bollywood Artist: Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi Music Director: Laxmikant-Pyarelal Lyricist: Anand Bakshi Rating: 4.1 A craze during 80's, this one is special because of its lyrics especially the second antara "Pata Koi Pooche To Kehte Hain Hum, Ke Ek Duje Ke Dil Mein Rehte Hain Hum". Won't this make the masses go crazy? it did. Rafi saab and Kishore Da makes it even more special. |
| Song: Mustafa Mustafa Album: Duniya Dilwalo Ki Type: Bollywood Artist: A.R.Rahman Music Director: A.R.Rahman Lyricist: P.K.Mishra Rating: 4.8 An upbeat instrumentation with bass being played through out, the song is with full of energy. This one from Rahman was an anthem in the late 90's. |
| Song: Purani Jeans Album: Sandesha Type: Indie Artist: Ali Haider Music Director: Ali Haider Lyricist: Ali Haider Rating: 4.1 The USP of the song is its lyrics, as simple as you like. This one brings back your college day memories. The things you did, the things you got and the things you lost. One simple song manages to capture your life. Probably the only one good song from Ali Haider. |
