Music is a sort of sorcery that can pull you off from highly adverse situations too. While some people despise the concept of musicals, some people can’t help but crave more. We think that musicals are a highly potent genre but they need extreme precision. Because most musicals either come out to be exceptionally great or absolute trash.
Thus, we are here to guide you and suggest 5 Bollywood musicals that you must watch.
Lagaan – Netflix
AR Rahman is a magician when it comes to music and there is hardly any denying to that. When he collaborated with Javed Akhtar then they gave many great albums but Lagaan remains the undisputed champion. The album is one of the greatest Bollywood ever made and it continues to remain so.
Dil Se… – Netflix
Gulzar and AR Rahman were coming together for the first time for Dil Se… Since then they have created many albums together but it has been impossible for not only them but the entire Bollywood to overshadow the greatness of Dil Se as an album.
Chhaiyaan Chhaiyaan, Dil Se Re, Satrangi Re, and all of them are the epitome of experimental yet great music.
Dil Chahta Hai – Netflix
One of the defining films of the 2000s, Dil Chahta Hai is indeed a total cultural reset. The film was extremely new and real in its approach of showing friendship.
But what aided them is the music. Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe emerged as the youth anthem while the title song was like a soothing balm. Overall the album matches the level of the film’s greatness.
Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai – Zee5
Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai is more of a phenomenon than it is a film. It is one of the most successful films ever made and is also the most award-winning film in the world ever.
The album is a nostalgic ride but still pleasing in every manner. Hrithik Roshan became an overnight superstar through this movie and even the album justifies the reason for the same.
Taal – Prime Video/Zee5/YouTube
Taal was one of the most successful films in the 90s. But in today’s trends, the formula simply won’t work because it would look cheesy and cringe.
But every kind of film has its time and Taal was released just at the right time. With one of the highest-selling albums ever, AR Rahman and Anand Bakshi created an experience we still cherish today. Taal has some highly experimental but amazing songs which still sound fresh.
