Indian cinema values love to such an extent that the first Indian talkie, Alam Ara (meaning -The ornament of the World), is a love story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In its entire 80 year journey, Indian cinema has enthralled viewers with wonderful musical hits. Music and lyrics have always been the best way to convey deepest and sweetest feelings. Though there are a number of recent songs on romance, there is a special \u2018magic\u2019 in old romantic hit songs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Evergreen young hero \u2013 Dev Anand has professed \u201cTere mera pyar amar&#8221; (Our love is immortal) to Sadhana in Asli Nakli, has searched for Nutan, singing \u201cTu kahaan yeh bata\u201d (Please tell me where are u?) in Tere Ghar Ke Samne, has pleaded with the Moon as \u201cDhire dhire chal chand gaganmey\u201d (Oh moon, please move slowly)\u201d to be with Mala Sinha in Love Marriage. Whenever we hear such beautiful melodies sung by Mohammed Rafi for Dev Anand, we are enthralled even today.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BV0-rrdPJKw\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Legendary Mohammad Rafi is known as the \u201cvoice\u201d of Shammi Kapoor and the duo have given rich eclectic romantic songs like \u201cDeewana hua baadal\u201d (The weather has gone crazy) \u2013 from Kashmir Ki Kali, \u201cYun to hamne lakh haseen dekhe hain tumsa nahin dekha\u201d (I have seen umpteen beauties but none like of you) &#8211; from Tumsa Nahin Dekha, \u201cEhsaan tera hoga mujh par\u201d (Grant me a favour) \u2013 from Junglee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The famous song of \u201cPyar hua ikraar hua\u201d (We are in love and have accepted it) \u2013 From the movie Shri 420 with Raj Kapoor and Nargis is considered a classic, an epitome of love. Both of them immortalized the song with their wonderful chemistry. Raj Kapoor is famous of being a die-hard romantic and gave such bewitching songs like \u201cAaja sanam madhur chandni mein hum\u201d (Come dear, in the soft moonlight) \u2013 from Chori Chori, \u201cHar dil jo pyaar karega\u201d \u2013 (Every heart that loves) \u2013 from Sangam.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oXLzfldeDcM\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rajesh Khanna attained his romantic superstar status with \u201cMere sapno ki rani kab aayegi tu\u201d (Queen of my dreams, When will you be coming?) \u2013 from Aaradhana. \u00a0He went on to capture millions of hearts with the help of various songs like \u2013 \u201cOh mere dil ke chain\u201d (Oh, peace of my heart) \u2013 from Mere Jeevan Saathi, \u201cPyaar deewana hota hai\u201d (Love is crazy) \u2013 from Kati Patang.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vo1MykK4u8U\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though famous for his rhythmic fast songs, Kishoreda has carved his own place as a romantic singer with songs like \u201cChehra hai ya chand khila hai\u201d (Is this a face or the picture of a brilliant moon?) \u2013 from Saagar, which attained a cult status, \u201cEk ladki bheeghi bhaaghi si\u201d (A lady who is drenched and looks like she has run away) \u2013 From Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi enacted by Kishoreda himself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from the above there are many popular old songs which prove that romance never dies and lives forever.
