It’s no secret that the film’s playlist was its saving grace. Released in 1999, Dahek got noticed only for its romantic track, ‘Sawan Barse Tarse Dil’ sung by Sadhana Sargam and Hariharan. The film featuring Akshaye Khanna and Sonali Bendre as the lead was based on the trials and tribulations of a Hindu-Muslim love story.
A song we don’t mind listening to time and again, unlike the film. ‘Yeh Yaadein Kisi Dil-O-Jaanam Ke Chale Jaane Ke Baad Aati Hain’ sung by none other than Hariharan got us teary-eyed every time. You can always count on Subhash Ghai films’ songs, if not the film. The film tanked at the box-office and failed to leave an impression on the audience. The film starred Manisha Koirala’s brother Siddharth Koirala who got critically acclaimed and that was it. ‘Tose Naina Lage’ and ‘Maula Mere Maula’ is still one of our favourite romantic songs ever. And of course, ‘Bol Na Halke Halke’, the song that defined romance and topped the charts for a long time. If there’s anything we can remotely recall about this film is the song, ‘Jhoom Barabar’ that had become the party anthem back in the 2000s. From its title track to the melodious ‘Tu Aashiqui Hai’ and ‘Suno Na’, the playlist still has a special place in our hearts. The multi-starrer film might have failed to impress the audience and critics, but the songs did not.
The only reason we remember this movie is for its songs like ‘Chura Lo Na Dil Mera’ and ‘Chori Chori Jab Nazrein Mili’ that made us fall in love. Here’s a list of Bollywood movies that we remember for the soundtrack and not the story. The tried and tested formula of selling a film with a wafer-thin plot by packaging it with good music seems to have worked well for Bollywood in the past few years. In fact, music has proven to be the only highlight of many films in the past. Music plays a major role in Bollywood movies.
