Old Hindi songs have a magical essence. The bang-on lyrics that we still find so close to life, oozing with emotions that stir our souls, the catchy tunes and what not. These old Hindi songs prove the saying, “Old is gold”. Undoubtedly they are and will always be the treasure of music.
With time the music culture has changed, only a few of the recent compositions succeed to touch our hearts and that too not for long. There are scarcely any songs that hold the charm of staying in our playlist for more than a year, whereas there are many old Hindi songs that are for forever. They are so perfect that we tend to play them every once in awhile.
Here are a few of them that will take you back in past and fill your soul with peace and joy.
