Best Bollywood/Hindi Songs of 2011

Back in 2010, I absolutely fell in love with Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's soulful song Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji from Ishqiya. I didn't expect to find anything remotely close to that magical number in a Bollywood or Hindi film in 2011. That proved to be the case but there were quite a few songs that caught my attention in 2011. Here are some of my favourites:

Saibo from Shor in the City

This was the closest song in 2011 that managed to evoke similar sentiments as Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji.



Ik Junoon -- Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

A fun light number that evokes memories of a warm relaxing holiday.



Sadi Gali -- Tanu Weds Manu

An infectious song that caught hold of me from the moment I heard it and wouldn't let go. I even tried to organize a flash mob dance to this song at my cousin's wedding. The flash mob experiment didn't come off as planned but everyone danced their heart out. With a song like this, it makes moving quite easy.



Chammak Challo -- Ra. One

There are no remarkable lyrics in this song but Akon's unique voice manages to make this a mesmerizing number.



Sadda Haq -- Rockstar



O Senorita -- Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Pure fun...



Haal E Dil -- Murder 2

Song but no dance

The year is only a few months old but it is hard to believe that there will be too many Indian songs this year that will be more soulful than Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji found on the soundtrack of Ishqiya.
