I did Best Goofy Songs already, now it’s time for love songs, and then only Dance Songs will be left!
No Ranking! No need to pick One Winner! Just look over this list and then put in a comment what your favorites are. I’ll count up which ones were picked the most and they will go to the next round.
Love Songs
“Tu Jo Dekha To Jaane Sanam”
“Tanhaiyee”
“Jaate Hai Tu Kahan”
“Dil Se Re”
“Ae Aajnabi”
“Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”
“Sona Nahin Na Sahi”
“Suraj Hua Madham”
“Hamesha Tumko Chahat”
“Kal Ho Na Ho”
“Tere Liye”
“Do Pal”
“Dekho Na”
“Mitwa”

“Dildaara”
“Saans”

“Zaalima”
“Yaadon Main”
“Mere Naam Tu”
Hmm, my favorites I think would be “Mere Naam Tu”, “Zaalima”, “Yaadon Main”, “Janam Janam”, and “Dil Se Re”. So I guess I think he’s gotten better at love songs as he’s gotten older!
This is hard bc I want to break it into more sub-categories…sad vs hopeful vs reciprocal love songs.
Do Pal, Aankhon Mein Teri and Saans…

I almost included Dheere Jalna! But then I thought it wasn’t right becuase there was so little love parts in it. Glad to know you agree with me.

Okay, my favorites and “the Best” aren’t really the same.
I mean Dil Se Re is like a orgasm set to music, but it is uncomfortable to watch, so it isn’t my FAVORITE, but it might be the BEST. But if we are doing favorites:
Jaata Hai Tu Kahan
Yeh Ladka Hai Allah
Janum Janum
Yadaan Mein

Also I listened to Do Pal again for the first time in forever and actually liked it quite a bit. I’m not really a fan of Veer-Zaara but do you think it’s worth giving it a second chance?
LikeLike
Ugh, I don’t like Veer Zaara, so I’m no one to ask. I considered “Tumhi Dekho Na”, but thought no one would care about it!
LikeLike
I mean that’s why I asked you because I remember that you aren’t really a fan of Veer Zaara either. I last saw it about 5 yrs ago so I was wondering if it was a movie that could possibly grow on you over time.
Tbh, I think I’m one of the only ones on DCIB who’s a KANK fan 🙂

I liked Veer Zara and KANK. In BTS, SRK was concerned about KANK; he did not like the subject matter. I think his superb acting in KANK showcases his incredible talent. For someone who did not care for his role, he pulled it off superbly. As regards infidelity, it happens. And KJo took a risk with the film. Turned out to be a hit, esp in US.

Hmm, I didn’t know that Shahrukh didn’t really like the infidelity in KANK either. I know that Kajol dropped out because of the infidelity and even Rani said that she didn’t really understand her character either. It’s interesting that these stars were were able to give such performances even with lack of belief in the subject. And also how much they trusted Karan Johar’s talent and conviction that this movie would work out.
LikeLike
It comes up in his interviews with Anupama for King of Bollywood. I think it wasn’t a moral concern or personal discomfort (although he was uncomfortable), but specifically he thought the film wouldn’t work and the audience wouldn’t sympathize if the couple actually had sex. But Karan was sure it was the only thing that made sense so SRK went along with it.
I find it interesting to think about in terms of if SRK meant “the audience won’t like it” or “this film doesn’t make sense”. Because it kind of DOESN’T make sense, this very real story of infidelity with songs and things all around it.
LikeLike
Oh gotcha, that makes more sense if he was just opposed to them having sex. Idk, I always felt that it did make sense because it was one of the big hang ups in Rani and Abhishek’s marriage.

I ended up listening to Veer-Zaara’s soundtrack on the way to work today and the only songs that I liked were Do Pal and Main Yahaan Hoon. There’s way too many songs in the album so I doubt that I’ll like the movie more in a rewatch.

i have special features DVD for KANK. This is where I saw Shah Rukh express his concern. Will have to watch again in view of Chopra interview. And an update on Kajol. Initially she declined citing scheduke conflict and here in KwK she says she wishes she had done the film. https://twitter.com/melanch89806859/status/1613553199235084288?s=61&t=aHGhKodfqW0oXHm4x_4wRQ

Huh, I always assumed the schedule conflict was her just her polite excuse for declining the film.
