We all know how important music is in Bollywood movies. All Hindi movies strive to have good soulful musical tracks. Moreover, if the music becomes popular, that results in good revenue for the movie. It won't be an exaggeration if we say; music is the life line of Indian movie. There are several movies which boast of outstanding music. In the long history of Indian movie songs, many songs have been chartbusters. These songs have stayed in the memory of the public even after all these years.

One of the first major hit song was "Main Ban Ke Pancchi" in the 1930s sung by Ashok Kumar. Thereafter several musicals came and each of them left a mark in the listeners' hearts. One of the other major hit was "Aayega, Aayega Aanewala" from movie "Mahal". It was on the top of the charts in the 1940s. Thereafter, it was one hit after another. Songs like, "Awara Hoon", "Bol Radha Bol", "Jaane kyaa tuune kahii" from Pyaasa etc had audiences on their feet. As Indian musicians started to experiment with various new music and instruments, more and more heartfelt songs started to make waves. The songs which lingered on in public memory were, "Ai mere pyaare vatan" from Kabuliwala,
"Ab ke baras bhej bhaiya ko babul" from Bandini,
"Phuulon ke rang se" from Prem Pujari,
"Chandan saa badan, chanchal chitavan" from Saraswati Chandra,
"Man re, tu kaahe na dheer dhare" from Chitralekha,
"Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hain" from Guide,
"Din dhal jaaye, hai raat na jaaye" from Guide,
"Kuch to log kahenge logon ka kaam hai kehna" from Amar Prem,
"Pay Kia Toh Drna Kya" from Mughal-e-Azam to name a few.

Other popular songs in last few decades that made history on the basis of sheer mass appeal and recall value are,
"Papa kahte hain" from qayamat se qayamat tak,
"Tujhe Dekha Toh ye Jana Sanam" from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,
