Refreshing 90's

today being a sunday....and me being totally vella (free, in college lingo) led me to one of my favorite time pass.....watching random videos on youtube. Incidentally i stumbled upon the video of Chaalbaaz song, Na Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, Sridevi dancing like a diva :) . And by the end of video I was feeling nostalgic about the good old days when there was some innocence, love and purity in songs, the way actors danced, this all defined the music of 90's. I decided to keep flowing with those feelings and one after another I found almost all my favorite songs, thanks a million to Youtube. People talk a lot about "Old is Gold" and say that 70's was the golden period of hindi music industry. That is 100% true but I think music of 90's, it's artists especially singers lie Kumar Sanu, music composers like Nadeem Sharavan and actors like Govinda (most versatile hero ever...could pull off virtually everything), Sridevi etc also need to be given the credit for creating magic on screen. I mean this was the period which gave Indian cinema two of it's biggest evengreen musicals (at least in my opinion), Aashiqui (1990) and Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayi (1993). But belive it or not there are many great (i mean really superb) songs in 90's which were from not so great movies and filmed on almost unknown actors, some examples being Dil Jigar Nazar from Dil Ka Kya Kasoor, Ye Akhha India from Jaan Tere Naam, Ghar Se Nikalte Hi from Papa Kehte Hain.

Anyways it felt really nice to refresh all my past memories with these evergreen songs and I am embedding the youtube playlist here. As of now the list of songs is:
