@Vimmu…I need your ashirwad..the Vijayeebhava one for tackling this karate brat 😆
I just love that display pic of yours !! So here goes, take all my aashirvaads !!! I tell you, he isnt an easy person to tackle ! 😀
HAHA!! No amount of ashirvads or Chaathan sevas will be enough to tackle the Great Karate brat!
Muhahahaha!!
And bro..i didnt expect this from u! how could u evn think abt teaming up with tht crazy paparazzi woman???!!! Do u want me to post tht Unrated version of your Childhood memories in my weirdworld???huh ? huh??
well..i did like ur new bandana look…evnthough i felt tht the “Main hoon booth” title wasnt tht mandatory..coz the whole world kinda knew tht already!
hey bro….did u know tht sakshi also ryhmes with yakhsi?? now would u call tht coincidence? hehe 😈 😀
LOL…bro, Im always with you !!! not with any yakshi (nice name that is btw) !!! and nooooooooooooooooooo, anything but that post of yours 😀 😀 😀
Yakshi and me?? well at least you figured it out even though a bit too late. That profile pic is for you karate chekkan…in ur own words Muhahahaha
Ps: I will join hands with you if you will mail me that unrated version 😳
Surprisingly I am second?
LOL, yeah, never first !!! 😀 😀 😀
Second is the new first. Shows we read before commenting 😆
nope 1st is always first!! buhaha….and i am the king of the world! wooohoo!
Ohhh man ! dont mess with her !!
crap, you already did ! You asked for it dude ! 😀
My favorite from your list is from Delhi-6 and now when I hear sabziwalla, raddi-walla, phal-walla, carpet-walla passing by and shouting (half singing) I remember the same favorite song – Gainda Phool.
What about Love Aajkal?
I didnt like Love Aaj Kal except for Aaj Dil Chaddeya, so mentioned that in the One song wonders ! 😀
I have just heard the songs of Delhi-6 and Love Aaj Kal in your list 😥 Gainda Phool, Masakali and Aaj din chadeya are my fave in these movies 🙂 Wait a minute ;?: I think I heard that rocket singh one while in Kolkata and hated it 😡
So no marriage mushy songs in your list…para…para 😉
she is a paara bro!!
😆 at paara… is it the stone paara or the other one? my malayalam is a little rusted you see 😉
Ohhh, that song will grow on you !! Check it out a few more times and you will be addicted to it ! 😀 😀
Whatever !!! paara is paara !!! 😀 😀
How many languages you know/understand?
Dev D is the best pick because it was all concept based 😉
And concept was by the young brain Abhay Deol.
LOL, I understand Hindi and all south languages except Kannada ! 😀
yeah, I can listen to the songs of Dev D any time ! 😀
forget 2009! check out the songs from striker! Siddarth dude is just awesome!!
And theres also a another song called “cham cham” in which Sonu has altered his voice…its just minnnnndd-blowing!!
Yet to listen to Striker and Karthik calling Karthik ! I know, its so not me ! This weekend, Im going to sit with all these songs ! 😀
😯 😯 😯
whts yakshi staring at? huh? whts so wrong with this song??
In Hindi Only delhi-6…
In tamil, I didn’t liked yogi and pokkisham much and also modhi vilayadu also… Other than that I loved all the albums in the list…
Didn’t you liked Aadhavan?? It’s my favorite… and also nadodigal film’s aadungada song….
You didnt like pokkisham ??? The others I can understand 😀 😀 😀
No…aadhavan was very repetitive according to me. Most of Harris Jayarajs song sound repetitive 😀 Only one song of Naadodigal appealed to me; that Shambo shiva shambo ! 😀 😀
surprised that modi vilayadu is in u r top 10 .. and kunguma pottum la enna song irukku ? haven’t heard yogi and angaadi threru..GV Prakash is surely getting his act together.. liked his music in Ayirathil oruvan.. more than the songs the background score was awesome!.
Oh…is it becuz you didnt like Modhi Vilayaadu or is it becuz u liked it and no one else except now ??? 😀 😀 😀
Ohh, you havnt listened to Kungamapoovu ?? theres chinnanirasugal and then thers kadaloram !! awesome songs ! 🙂
Oh yeah, GV.Prakash is coming up great. He just bagged two hindi movies too !! waiting for it ! Aayirathil Oruvan songs and background were out of the world, the second half in particular ! 😀
Loved the tracks of Wake up Sid; the one you featured in particular!
Presently, I’m real stuck with the fabulous “Vaarayo Vaarayo kadhal kola……….”
I just can’t stay away from listening to this @least 5 times a day! 🙂
LOL !!! the romantic you !!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
The song starts off well, but then, according to me, it turned very repetitive. 🙂
What about songs of Gulal??? They were fantabulous.
Ohhh ya. Really good songs. and guess what, I initally had another category-“the ones that couldnt make up in this list’-and gulaal was first in it. I had to take that category because I couldnt come up with the same for the rest of the languages. 😀
Wow! You even listen to Telugu songs? that’s nice! I loved ur list and was not surprised that AR rahman features several times n the list! ! nice choices! 🙂
🙂 🙂 Well, I dont put his name for nothing, you see 😀 😀 😀 😀
Gud list. Now, I can say I know some tamil songs – Chennai influence.
I even like the song in Aadhavan – Eno eno !!!
Oh, Shanthi, Shanthi from Varanam Ayiram – Thats a wonderful song with great lyrics.
Ok, since you came down to chennai only recently, you should be familiar with some of the Telugu songs also, na ? 😀
I didnt like any from aadhavan, cuz I found them repetitive. and vaaranam aayiram is from 2008. 😀 Oh, yeah, but the songs of VA are too good ! 😀
I know only the Hindi ones in this list…
And a couple of from Tamil and Malayalam… better I dont comment 😛 LOL
You not commenting ???? YEYYYY 😀 😀 😀 😀
Sapnon se bhare naina is the only song I like from LBC. Delhi 6 has my all time fav Rehna tu! me loves!
Iktara is such a beautiful number. i can go on and on about that song. And I knew it couldnt be composed by Shankar ehsan loy. they can never come up with such an awesome track! Amit trivedi is my 2009 fav. whatte composer. I loved Nayan tarase from his Dev D.
great list. I have no clue about the other languages 😦
hey I r’meberd.. Hasili fisili and Yeno yeno from Aadhavan. you missed that. they are nice, no?
they had recently released tanother soundtrack of Wake Up Sid, one that includes all the background songs. It even has that Iktara male version which comes during the movie. check it out.
and I wouldnt say that about SEL. They have come up with several mindblowing tracks 🙂
For me, he was the composer onf 2008 too. Aamir had some awesome tracks.
Nope, I never liked Aadhavan songs. first of all, hasili fisili, with such kind of lyrics, no way !! 😀 and harris is so repetitive for me ! 😀
ohh vimmu …..seems our taste are entirely different 🙂
My list – Hindi 1.Newyork 2.Tum mile 3.Wake up sid 4.Delhi 6 5.Billu 6.Blue 7.Ajab prem 8.Kurbaan 9. Acid Factory(loved the beats) 10. London dreams
Malayalam(don’t know much…..i remember only these songs) 1.Rithu(pularumo is one of my fav) 2.Sagar alias(again loved the beats) 3.Bhramaram 4.Robinhood(only priyanu mathram)
I don’t follow tamil and telugu songs
LOL, yes, they are different !! 😀 I couldnt stand Acid Factory and would never put New york as number one ! 😀
you know almost all south indian languages!!!
the saddest part is that in 2009 not many good telugu movies were released which were worth watching!!!
Thank you for giving the reviews 🙂
Oh is that so ? So I guess, I wasnt bad enough with the list then ! 😀 😀
I only know the Hindi albums from here. No clue about Tamil, Malayalam or Telugu.
From Hindi ones, Delhi 6 was definitely the best. Entire Album is a collection material.
Other songs I liked in 2009:
1. Sapnon se bhare naina and Ye Hawaayein – Luck by Chance
2. Ajj Din Chadeya and Ye dooriyaan – Love Aajkal
3. O re duniya and Aisi Sazaa – Gulaal
4. Ali Maula and Shukran Allah – Kurbaan
5. Zoobie Zoobie – 3 Idiots (Peanut’s fav)
and finally this is one song that I listened in loop till Karthik calling Karthik happened. 🙂
Iktara – Wake Up Sid ( both versions – Punjabi version a bit more)
Pocket Mein Rocket Hain is one of the worst songs I have heard.
Aww…I do like it, and sonny sways to it so adorably !!
Aww 🙂
BTW Peanut’s version of Zoobie Doobie is ‘Scooby Doo Scooby Doo naache dumb…..’
LOL…so cute, Soli!
So cute Sols 🙂
Aisi Sazaa was a beautiful composition !! Somehow I couldnt listen to the songs of gulaal after two weeks of continuous loop and that is the reason why it didnt appear here in the list.
ohhh, pocket mein is kinda a personal song too,since Im into sales ! 😀
Scooby Dooo ??? ROFL !!! they should change the theme song of Scooby Doo to this !!! 😀 😀
Interesting choice in songs.
Unfortunetly I only know the hindi ones.
And suprisingly i agree with your choice. 😉
surprisingly ??? 🙂
You know I look forward to your lists cuz after reading them I decide what songs to download and listen to! 🙂
Seriously ???? I dont believe that !!! 😀 😀 😀
Super list.. esp. for people like me who dont get the opportunity to be up-to-date on latest Tamil releases..this is a great list. Any idea where I can download the songs in MP3 format?
Btw, too bad you didn’t sing even 2 lines for us the other day 😦 Very disappointed!
Ohh this is last years albums. Will come up with the latest ones in Feb 🙂
there are so many sites where you could download. will let you know through a mail 🙂
Ohh, that was one of those rare get togethers where I wasnt made to sing !!! 😀 😀 😀 and Im very happy ! 😀 😀
:grrrrr U dint sing for us too 😦
i just know the hindi ones… from there too haven’t heard many…
nice choices though 🙂
hmmm…. 🙂
Nice collection of songs… *sheepish look*- i’ve not heard half the songs on your list…- hindi n tamil!! 😀 … Lets not even talk about the other languages!!! 😀
You have one of that new gadjets, na ? 😉 why dont you make use of it ? 😀 😀 😀
I dont mind… u put eet the songs in a cd or pen drive n give 😀 [batting eye lids trying to be chamathu looking] 😛
yeah, dont make it so obvious that Im completely jobless ! 😀
😀 For a change am quite late hehehe…
Vim : and for a change, I was happy not seeing you 😀 😀 😀
Coming to the list as expected am commenting on the Hindi ones and before I write anything more I shud thank you for bringing me back in scene. Yep! 2-3 yrs back (read before my mrrg) I used to but so so updated on music scene that I used to know which cassette is releasing when & even used to buy all the new ones. The passion continued with affordable MP3s but eventually I lost the touch & new songs for me was listening them on TV thats it. But thanks to you and at some level thanks to vee as well am back to my passion of music.
Vim : You are welcome. and for this gesture of mine, next time you meet me, get me something nice, not a book ! 😀
But what I can not understand here is the passion u guys have for Dev D. Last week we were travelling some where and Emotional Atyachaar came up, I cudn’t stand it for a min though I had liked it back then. Somehopw Dev D doesn’t have repeat value for me 😀
Vim : Donno; but the thought of Dev D songs itself elates me ! 😀
Delhi 6 surprisingly (Its ARR u see :D) I had loved.
Vim : Yeah, whatever ! 😀
Luck By Chance & London Dreams are still palying on my shuffle and am yet to get over the songs of Luck by chance!!! Tum Mile I haven’t hard 😀 same goes for Wts ur Rashee. Kurbaan songs I liked when I heard them first but within a week the effect thinned out!!!
From Ajaab the song which I enjoyed the most was “Prem ki Naiya” 😀 (no need to tell me it’s crap)
Vim : Nahhh, after watching the movie, I liked the songs of Ajab more ! It went well with the movie ! 😀
Lova Aaj Kal I hadn’t liked on 1st hearing & then I fell in love with Aaj Din & Chor Bazaari 🙂
Iktara I had discovered very late but am in love with it now 😀
And yes the absence of one of my all time fav song has irked me big time, I know you will say this is YOUR PERSONAL LIST but still “Mamma Says” shud be shud be shud be here & am sure Vee will agree with me 😀
Vim :That isnt even a song ! Cant put dialogues as songs in this list ! 😀
Another song that I have fallen in love with was “Gimme some sunshine” 🙂
Nice list though :), all said & done ur taste in music is very very good 😀
Vim : I know ! 😀 😀 😀
Iktara wins for me in 2009 … I cn keep listening to it again and again .. its plain awesome! His composition, her voice 🙂 Me liked the male version too 🙂
Leader hs superb songs! I like one song from Magadeera too …panchadaara bomma bomma 😛 😛 I luv the composition 😉 😉 Sort of naughty, fun … mix of all those .. wonder if u got what I want to say 😀
Make it Iktara + arziyan .. I luv both of them 😛
Cmg to albums as a whole, my pick wud be Dilli6, Blue and Ajab Prem ki …
U liked Whatz ur Rashee?
I like Mere Sang from New York too 😀
The male version of Iktara is available for download now ! 😀
I somehow didnt like the songs of Magadheera; just average for me. Bu Leader is simply awesome !
Yup, I found Whats your Rashee pretty good. I mean, composing 12 songs, out of which 10 are different situations too ! 😀
nice list man..though london dreams dint impress much…
and agree with the one song wonders..
alllloooooo…..you are alive???? You are coming here after centuries !!! 😀 😀 😀
Btw, I had nominated some of your posts for the Avante Garde awards last month ! 🙂
I didn’t like the songs from Blue, Kurbaan…
The rest are fine… 🙂
As usual, Iktara and Tere Naina are still firm favorites!
Hmmm…to each her/his own ! 😀
Iktara is one of the best things that happened to the film industry last year ! 😀
I am not familiar with many of the new songs, but your list of ‘one song wonder’ is best. I downloaded all these songs and is in a cd now, both Hindi and Tamil. Your taste is very good!
Ohh, you actually did that ! Im honored ! 😀
That s a good list for me to download….. thanks…!!
Remember me? i was once a regular visitor of ur blog 😀
Of course, I remember you !!! where were you ????? are you back to blogging ??? 😀 Please say yes ! 😀
Your Hindi one-song-wonder list is smashing..I love all of them 🙂
Tere Naina is so so hummable,alle? Its sad the movie didnt fare well.
I loved all the songs of London Dreams too..esp ‘jo
tujhe jagaaye’..Shankar Mahadevan and Rahet Fateh jugalbandi was classic…
I havent heard the malayalam and Tamil lists yet 😦 …will get down to hearing them soon..thanks for sharing,Vims
