| Agar Tum Mil Jao |
|
You don't get to hear many Islamic Love songs in the main stream media, do we? This beautiful love song by Tassawar Khanum (a Pakistani Muslim) can melt any heart. Love is a beautiful thing. Melodious music is a beautiful thing, and shows that both have no nationality and religion. I think a whole life will be worth living if there is one soul who feels for you like the feeling in 5:21.

During a function honoring Lata Mangeshkar, L.K.Advani requested that she sing "Jyoti Kalash Zalke" song from the movie "Bhabhi ki Chudiyan".

| Great Clips of Desi Cinema - Rang Barse |
|
Today's selection is the ever so popular "Rang Barse" sang by Amitabh Bachchan. This song is important for several reasons. It features Amitabh in a very masculine voice. It has since become a staple song to sing and dance during the Holi festival. The pretext of festive intoxication is used by the director to re-ignite an old flame. The discomfort of their spouses ( both the characters now married to different people) is obvious and draws the sympathy of the viewer. You can see the beautiful Indian actress of Rekha.

| Dil Mein Tuje Bitha Ke |
|
The following Bollywood love song borders the worship of her lover and is a long time favorite of young people in India. The video is un-imaginative and tacky -- although you can enjoy a young Shabana Azmi, but the song is melodious and conveys the the intense love felt by the woman.
