“Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein” (RHTDM) [2001]
Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated Bollywood films of all time, people realized the value of the movie only when the songs became popular a long while after the release. The Hindi version of “Minnale”, directed by Gautam Vasudev Menon himself, had one of the greatest soundtracks, as well as the BGMs. You gotta be living under the rock if you don’t know the breezy flute theme of the movie, that continues to be the favorite of many music lovers even today.
“Mass” [2004]:
We mostly remember SET MAX for just two reasons: The first few seasons of the IPL and “Sooryavansham”, the screenplay of which every Indian would have learnt by heart now. However, there is one more reason which we know this channel for, but rather not talk about, “MASS!”
Titled as “Meri Jung: One Man Army” in Hindi, the Telugu based movie had everything, from classic dialogues to some mind-boggling scenes. However, what made it a success, in both the regional as well as the national circles, was it soundtrack, repeated ad nauseam in various streamings of SET MAX!
“Aashiq Banaaya Aapne” [2005]
If it weren’t for the soundtrack of this movie, this movie would have been dismissed as another run of the mill Emraan Hashmi movie. However, that was the case with most of his movies. Whether or not the screenplay was good, the movie had enough songs in its kitty to draw the masses to the theaters, the most noteworthy of them being “Aashiq Banaya Aapne”.
The film’s soundtrack, composed primarily by Himesh Reshammiya, also introduced us to his rather ‘unique’ singing skills. Whether or not you like his singing skills, you would definitely not have ignored this.
“Rockstar” [2011]
Directed by Imtiaz Ali, “Rockstar” (2011) is a musical drama that showcased Ranbir Kapoor’s stellar performance as an aspiring musician. A. R. Rahman’s mesmerizing compositions, including “Tum Ho” and “Kun Faya Kun,” elevated the film’s emotional depth and showcased the protagonist’s journey through music. The songs struck a chord with the audience, adding to the film’s cult status.
“Kabir Singh” [2019]
Released in 2019, “Kabir Singh” is a Hindi remake of the Telugu film “Arjun Reddy.” The film’s songs, composed by Sachet-Parampara and Mithoon, struck a chord with the audience, particularly the romantic track “Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage.” The emotional intensity and soul-stirring melodies of the songs resonated deeply with the viewers, catapulting the film’s success.

At a time, when people were wondering if there is anything left as melodious, quality music, this romantic musical took everyone by surprise. Once again emphasizing the edifice that music has “no boundaries”, this Telugu flick, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, was a blockbuster, both in terms of screenplay and music. In particular, it was the music of this movie, composed by Vishal Chandrashekhar, that caught everyone’s attention, and for those, who wailed of the absence of sweet, melodious compositions, this soundtrack was nothing less than a torrent of fresh air.
These Indian films owe a significant part of their fame and success to their remarkable songs. The carefully crafted music not only entertained the audience but also enhanced the storytelling, emotional depth, and cultural impact of the films. These movies stand as testaments to the power of music in Indian cinema, showcasing how songs can elevate a film’s fortunes and leave an everlasting impression on viewers.
