EVOLUTION OF HINDI FILM SONGS (1931 - 2021) || Most Popular Song Each Year | REACTION!!! 

What other videos should we react to?

Its very sad to know that the song “chittiyan kalaiyaan “ is considered as an evolution when the same year the album Tamasha released and Rahman created otherworldly masterpieces like Chali kahani , Tu koi aur hai , Agar tum saath ho , safarnama , wat wat and many more. The album is literally the definition of a musical evolution . Also , Lagaan , Raanjhana, , Delhi 6 , Swades , RDB , Jaane tu ya jaane na were all excluded. Plus Amit Trivedi’s soundtracks like DevD , Bombay Velvet , Fitoor , Lootera were also gorgeous. The word evolution has been used so casually here cos the general music culture in India is anything but evolving. Currently Its only cos of composers like AR Rahman , Amit Trivedi, Ilaiyaraaja, Ajay Atul , Santhosh Narayan, Mm Keeravani and few others that our music demands the respect and attention from the world. Most of the others just follow the trend and stick to basic tried and tested chords

The fact that peopled don't understand that if every popular song was put into this then the video would be hours long😂

It's sad that since 2010 , it's only been Aashiqui 2 and Kabir Singh from Bollywood , which are absolutely outstanding albums offering something fresh and soulful to the listeners (excluding ARR )....Most of the rest has been complete trash...and we still listen to 60's 70's Hindi songs which are evergreen

I'll give you brief phases of Hindi film music. From 1930s to 1950 - Playback singing technique and technology was still developing. K L Saigal was THE GREAT. Mukesh, Kishore and others imitated and idolised him in their early years. Shamshad Begum was the star female voice. Between 1950 and 1980, mostly 4 singers dominated. Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar for Male leads and Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle for Female leads. The other great singers in that era were Mukesh, Manna De and Talat Mehmood (Male) and Geeta Dutt (Female). From 1980-90 - It was a period of decline for Hindi film music. Mohd Rafi passed away in 1980 and Kishore Kumar in 1986. Though Lata, Asha were still singing they had passed their prime. The prominent singers in this decade were Anuradha Paudwal, Amit Kumar (son of Kishore Kumar, who doesn't get his dues in spite of some great songs), Mohammed Aziz (I like his tonal quality and style...he gave some memorable songs in most junk movies) From 1990-1999 - Resurrection of Hindi film music. Similar to 1950-80, 4 singers dominated this decade. Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu (for Male leads) and Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy (for Female leads). In fact, Kumar Sanu won 5 consecutive Filmfare music awards for the best Male playback singer and then stopped competing for the award. Sonu Nigam and Shaan were not yet stars. A R Rahman became big in Hindi from 1995 onwards. From 2000-2010 - Great new age music, along with old classical style of Hindi film music. However, since 2000s role of playback singers (as individuals) has diminished. Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam stand out. From 2010 onwards - basically it's an era of film music with a very short shelf life (with few deserving exceptions). It doesn't matter who sings and you barely remember the singer. Also there are so many of them (maybe 20-30+) and you can't distinguish one voice from the other. I think this trend will continue. That's why 1950-80 is considered (in fact 1950-70) Golden Era of Hindi film music. You should do reaction for Filmfare Award winning songs from 1953 (when awards started) to 1978 (25 year period).

The era of Pritam-KK of the mid 2000 were missed completely..

This timeline contains EXTREMELY iconic songs, especially in the 1990s and before, incredibly iconic songs, like I was born later on in the 2000s and even I know the songs in that era because of how iconic and famous they are. I would recommend you to watch all of the songs in this timeline because they're really good.

Kabir singh songs was way better than gully boy.

1955-1979 really pulls the heartstrings.❤️ And 1990 - 2010 was magic ✨

I fell in loved with Hindi songs in the 90s era..there are many best songs in the 90s to 2017 (I think) however, loved their reaction when seeing the turn of SRK's song 🥰 it turns out they really liked him..aww I ❤️ you guys..

That video was not named correctly. An evolution video should be talking about musical trends and not the songs that enjoyed mass popularity. In that light, the 90s saw a definite shift in the kind of music created thanks to Indipop, AR Rahman and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. They changed the sound of the music in Hindi films and should have been better represented here.

Asha Bhosle is the younger sister of Lata Ji. Asha Bhosle is a very versatile singer - she has sung more genres of songs than any of the singers yet, with the exception of maybe Manna De.

Many popular songs were ignored, especially of AR Rahman, and Guide film in 1965... nevertheless this was a cool compilation.. Edit: Songs in Lagaan, Taal, Rangeela were a craze back then. The video misses a lot of it.

How can they skip Chaiya chaiya in 1998🧐🤔

You can see korbin romantic smile when he sees Ashwarya on screen. And Ricks smile to see Shree devi

Kal ho Na ho had to be there 😄

it’s so nice to know you guys know almost all the popular songs of 90s and early 20s 😭❤️

it is amazing how i remember every sigle lyrics from 1953-1973 of the entire song. The golden era of music!!

The 60s & 70s were the highlight for me And post 2010s I was cringing seeing what we have today compared to what we used to have It's not like we didn't have any great songs in those years, but the songs that got popular made me upset

Not fair to not include any of atif's song in this video despite the fact that he literally sung some of the all time hits from 2007 to 2014.

This video is a proof that the music now a days is just ruined 😭😭 From gems to sastey remix. Lol we did come a long way !!!

Please, react to old Ashiqui songs, they are all master pieces. And kumar sanu's voice is very romantic.

Actually I thought the list was good, but in 2000's era I think some of the songs were misplaced, I dont't knw why but overall it was good.

I got emotional by seeing songs my father used to play in dvd player when I was child

Lata Mangeshkar Kishore da, Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, Mohammad Rafi, Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan

The golden period in indian filmi music started at 1965 and remained in 70s. The last times amazing music was produced was in 90s. Then after 2000, music n songs quality started declining every year

When 1988 hits... melodious memories and nostalgia hits. Till 2005. ❤️

I don't think the compiler did justice. The number one song in 1949 was “arega arega” from the movie Mahal. This song made Lata Mangeshkar a household name.

50s and 60s was the golden age for Indian film music. I was born only in the 90s but I still strongly feel that the current music directors and singers don't hold a candle to singers and directors of those days. Those songs have stood the test of time and are still cherished. As someone also pointed out, songs nowadays just have short shelf life. Even in Tamil, you guys are raving about Rahman, only because you have not listened to compositions by M S Viswanathan, Mahadevan and G Ramanathan. Stalwart singers like MS amma, GNB, Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, MLV and KBS sung in movies of those days. How can singers of today even dream to compare? Please listen more to older songs before you shower accolades on the newer guys...

It's mind blowing how much Presence Lata Ji had. It seems like she was ALWAYS there. In every decade.

I have always believed that QSQT was a pathbreaking film. This video makes it evident when 1988 comes along. You can sense it.

I am kinda curious what metric they have used to measure popularity, specially for songs from 1940s.

Yeah it all started in 2014 .... Decline of music (rather than evolution)... It was already declining but 2014 onwards it went down drastically... Late 50s and 60s (throughout) was the peak

Such compilations are bound to factor in the biases of the compiler coz obviously so so many good and popular songs to choose from each year. Leaves the heart wanting for more!!

Mohd Rafi sab's 60's 70s' so many superhit songs were ignored in this compilation 😭❤️

Wow this video was so amazing!! I was full of emotions throughout except at the end where Chittiyan Kalaiyan, Main tera boyfriend etc came up.

The fact that they know Latadidi too much but i don't think they seen ashatai that much.....her versatility made her shine under Latas shadow ....once even latadidi said " had Asha walked my path she wouldn't have been succeeded , her versatility paved her own ways"

Idk why am I crying It felt like I saw an entire flashback of my life

The 1969 kishor song mere sapnon ki rani . From there both of their prime started and Rajesh Khanna became the sensation and kishor became his voice and Rajesh Khanna dominant the songs ,movies till 75

Just realised, Rick and Korbin don't know about Devananda!!!! 😱

It's feel good to see dancing and understanding the bollywood songs 😍😍

Oh I love old songs. Lataji Ashaji 🙏🙏 Old is gold always. Please react on any song which were there between 1955 to 1990 Loved your reaction. Really how you both enjoy 😍👏💛💛

Loved all SRK songs.. ❤❤ 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬 loves SRK! 😍😍

M literally surprised it didn't not include songs of mohabbaten and gullyboy

What happend to loads of SRK songs from 90s to 2010s ? We non Indians know bollywood coz of him .

You can actually see that after 2010, how the quality of the songs just went down.

Chhaiya Chhaiya was bigger than ankhon ki gustakhiyan It should have been here

The video was good but honestly can be more in-depth had it been segregated the evolution decade-wise. Then we could have seen atleast 10 songs from each decade. But that would have increased the duration well past a reaction video. 🙏🙂

Please guys react to the song "tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa"......which was shown in this video clip(1975)......sung by Lataji and Kishore Kumar.....its one of the most legendary songs of Hindi cinema.

They chose something else than the LEGENDARY "Kaho Na Pyar Hein" for 2000

K L Saigal ji was born in Jammu, proud to be from the same land.

U have missed Rajesh Khanna era until now. He is an integral part of Indian cinema for it to be known completely to u. He ruled the 70s especially the first half. If u guys love n understand the charm of SRK, u’ve got to understand and appreciate Rajesh Khanna’s charm. N this is coming from a person who was born much after his golden period, that must give u an idea about his popularity. He had a brilliant side as an actor as well but his charisma overpowered every other thing at that time.

Mukeshji developed his own style and had a Inimitable voice after 1950 , He was only influenced by KL Saigal in the late 40's .... His songs like Awara hoon and Mera Joota hai Japani became famous Worldwide . Sadly he passed away on 1976

90s and 2000s had best songs. Good music and melodious.

There is hardly any Rafi songs in 50s and 60s His songs in 50s and 60s were on top you can check from binaca geetmala Same goes with Kumar Sanu he was single handedly ruling 90s music

I like reaction from both of you.....plz do more of these kinda compilations

There's a difference between most popular and most soulful. Chill guys.

My grandmother was born in 1931 and she passed away in 2021

So basically the point is listen to old songs cause that is where the gold is also some very few new songs are godd but mostly are a headache. 👍

kL saigal was one finest singer. My Dad's favorite. So as a kid I heard his songs 😅 Then Mohammed Rafi, mukesh, manna day,kishore etc came😃

2010 had such beautiful songs and he still chose sheila ka jawani

Hope both of you enjoyed the 90's..... appreciate your videos...

The beautiful bollywood music era ended with Aashiqui 2 in 2013

As a late 80's kid almost 90's kid I can so much relate to songs starting from mid 50's till early 2000's. Slowly after 2003-04 it starts go shit and after 2013 I can not even understand whats the meaning of these songs. Although for this list they have added couple of good songs for those years but largely songs were shit.

now he's gonna own it. so true korbin ✌️make way for kishore kumar 😎

U have come a long way and in songs old is gold

The 70's songs are epic

8:35 love the reaction of u two.. 💕💕😉

Guys, react to 'tujhme rab dikhta hai' from SRK & Anushka movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Lol whoever made the picks in this video from 90s onward were a little bit suspect. Let’s do a fan-made compilation of this for them to react to!

That was stress buster (re dola re dola 😂)

The hindi dialect of old songs is quite different from what we speak today

Good topic to react ।।। nice video,,, AR Rehman effect and RD Burmans last movie would have been good milestones to add Else very nice video my favorite artist is always Kishore kumar,,, , wen I was a kid I liked his yoddllings ,,, seniors in school at that time used to sing songs like " nahi jina nahi jina tere bin nahi jina,,,, they used to make their voice thick in their level,,, when I was a teenager I was surprised to know both songs were done by same singer ,,,,,

Love this video!

You never reacted to songs from 2 most popular movies..Saajan and Dil.

React "kya hua tera vaada" sung by mo. Rafi please.

Life was so good back then man....🙂

one major change that i noticed is the vocabulary ... from proper hindi lyrics to Hindi - urdu lyrics, Hindi- Punjabi lyrics Hindi- English lyrics.

finally a good reaction in days............react to srk evolution guys

Saat samundar is still the best song ever in the world, in terms of everything music,lyrics, emotional,singing, makes everyone dance.

5:26 coincidence, I watched this movie yesterday. I found it in Diksha sharmas video ' top thrillers of Bollywood' . I was also unaware that this song was from this movie.

Maybe do a video on different genres - classical styles like thumris and then ghazals and qawwalis... and all kinds of romantic soft songs, classical and cabaret dance numbers....

2004 to 2010 is era of himesh, Kk, javed ali and not a single Song from them

What about kishore kumar .He was also since lata was singing and if he was alive like lata di , then he would have also ruled 8-9 decades with respect to rafi sahab.

1935 guy and korbin hairstyle are so same 😂😂😂

Nice react 🌺 Old is Gold 💝 but sadly there is no Suraiya's song . She's so phenomenal back then . My fav are 50s and 90s songs 😌

Have to say the songs from kabir singh were more popular than the ones from gully boy

Can't believe they left Chaiyya Chaiyya from the list....

That glimpse of Sushant Singh Rajput still feels so weird.

WHAT A DROP AFTER 2010s WHAT A DROP lmao! It can be anything but evolution!

Guys, you really need to experience and react to Manna Dey songs. His melodious and classically sound voice deserves more appreciation. Please experience both his Bengali and Hindi songs. I'm from Bangladesh and grew up listening to Manna Dey, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Hemanta, Lata snd Asha a lot. Love them all but my most favourite is Manna Dey especially for his sad romantic non-filmi Bengali songs

This is a beautiful video, though I strongly felt it was biased. We cannot imagine music without Asha Bhonsle's western twist and spark. Even in the songs, she was a part of only male voices played in the video. I could only hear Lata Mangeshkar and glimpses of a few other female singers. There was a time when no movie was complete without a cabaret number (almost ruled by Asha Bhonsle), then came the time of disco followed by rap (Govinda and Baba Sehgal phase). All these are also missing. However, It still gives a fair picture of the evolution of music in Bollywood.

It starts with KL Saigal and Punkaj Mullick. Begin there, a time when actor-singers worked without playback.

Old songs has my heart ❤

The oldes song which is very popular still is from 1947 afsana likh rhi hu. It is quite active in pop culture

dilse, humse hein muqabla is missingg...epic songs of those days, DD METRO CHANNEL use to never miss playing

50s 90s and early 2000s are my favorites

It seems what they like just put in the list 😂😂😂😂

Just the fact that I a new generation kid can recall some songs all the way from 30s, is proof of the huge impact of these old artists. They paved the way.

Heeee Thanku 😊my recomntetion.
