Part 3 of 30 Day Bollywood Song Challenge, with 21-30
Part 1, with entries 1 - 10 could be found here
Part 2, with entries 11 - 20 could be found here
21. A difficult song that you wish you could sing
All songs would be difficult for me since Hindi isn't my first language. I just love Indian cinema. I'm just picking "Kun Faaya Kun" - Rockstar because it's the latest song I'm obsess with :)
22. A song that you know you the whole routine and choreography to
"Ek Pal Ka Jeena" - Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, lmao, no kidding! I remember showing my cousins the moves. It's just soooo hilarious thinking about it now. They called one of the moves, "the cool butterfly" - I'll let you figure out which part that is :D
23. A song that you dedicate to your friends
First song that comes to mind is the title song "Dil Chahta Hai" - Dil Chahta Hai. I looove the movie. Too bad there is no girl bonding songs in Bollywood films, if so...anyone tell me, please!
24. A song that no one would expect you to love
Haha, that would be "Socha Hai" - Rock On because I always stated how much I love R&B and Hip Hop...and the Bhatt's music :D
25. A song that reminds you of your childhood
"Boom Boom" - Star. I loooove Nazir Hassan. RIP. I grew up watching Bollywood movies but it wasn't until I visited my cousins in Minnesota that made my love come back (now, I'm just more obsess). Star made me a Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri fan. I remember imitating the lame dancing in the video, lmao. Heck, I was like eight at the time, hahaha. I also remember going to the Hmong store to rent some Bollywood movies and I desperately wanted to watch their other film together, All Rounder, lmao.
26. A song you play when your happy
I'm not sure about when I'm happy but the last upbeat song that I really liked was "I Hate Luv Storys" - I Hate Luv Storys, lmao. Love the beat and stuff....have played it nonstop for a while.
27. A song you play when you're sad
The lyrics are just sad but very poetic - "Woh Lamhe" - Zeher - and sung so beautifully by Atif Aslam, who I love and adore. I'm telling you, the Bhatt music are magical. English translation/lyrics on Bollywhat.
28. A song that makes you laugh
"East Aur West India is the Best" - Judwaa, quick funny story, hubby would say, "East OR West, Daddy is the Best." It's his standard song in the house for the kids :D
29. A song that you can relate to
Okay, it's "Jadu Hai Nasha" - Jism, don't focus on the hotness of John-Bips (I know, hush! I still love both) besides the song being awesome, the lyrics are true to me. I was intoxicated with my hubby's love. Okay, when I was in high school, I was so in love with him, it was like magic, some people thought I was too crazy for him, that it looked almost stalkerish. Well, after 2 years, we finally got together, married, kids, the rest is history. Been together for 17+ years :)
30. A favorite song that is picturized on the legend that is Amitabh Bachchan
One of my fave movies of AB is Sharaabi with the lovely, underrated Jaya Pradha, "Log Kehte Hai Main Sharaabi" - the vocals to Kishore Kumar is used and you can see the beautiful Jaya Pradha dancing

Part 2 of 30 Day Bollywood Song Challenge, with 11-20
Part 1, with entries 1 - 10 could be found here
11. A song that can be potentially used as a chat up line
I honestly don't know but I always thought "What Is Mobile Number" - Haseena Maan Jayegi was really cute. Come on! It could be done, right? :D
12. A song to express matters from the heart
The lyrics to "Aur Intezaar Ab Mushkil Hai" - Romance are really nice. To me, it's such a romantic and sensual song.
(I actually reviewed this movie, with lots of caps)
13. A song to express a broken heart
"O Mere Sajan" - Painter Babu is a sad song to begin with but the lyrics does express a broken heart. I love this film so much!
(I actually reviewed this movie, with lots of caps)
14. Your favorite song ever or the closest thing to it
Dang, I already put my all time favorite Bollywood album, Aashiqui on #6 for A song that you can chill to. But since I already used that song, I will go with my second favorite song/OST, also by the Bhatt's.
"Dil Jigar Ke Jaan Achchha Hai" - Jaanam
15. An English song that has been covered by Bollywood
When I first heard "Neend Churayee Meri" - Ishq I knew immediately that it was a copy of "Sending All My Love" - Linear. I was such a diehard fan of theirs back then and even went to their concert, lmao. I have pics :D
16. A song that you would potentially have at your wedding as a first dance. Or have had as your first dance
I'm married. Not Desi style, unfortunately.....but if I was to have a gorgeous Desi style wedding, I would want "Woh Pehli Baar" - Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi to be the first song for my wedding :D I loooove Shaan's voice. It's a cute college first love type of movie :D
17. A song that you know all the words to
"O O Jaane Jana" - Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya. No kidding, hahaha. This is my all time fave Sallu song! I was so excited when Sallu performed it at the 2006 Rockstars concert :D The film will always hold a special part in my heart cause it was the first Bollywood movie I ever saw in the theater :D
18. A favourite patriotic song
I thought Zameen was an underrated film and remembered "Hai Ishq Ha" sung by Shaan, who I adore. Film stars Ajay Devgan, Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu
19. A song that you love but be embarass to admitting it
"Tu Mera Superman" - Dariya Dil - haha, not really embarass now but I do cringe when I see it every now and then but it's so cute and funny at times. I know others say, I know you like Govinda but come on!
20. A song picturised on your favorite Bollywood star yester years/current or male/female
How about the movie that peaked my interest in Bollywood and starred two of my faves back then? The wonderful, Dharmendra & Hema Malini
"Zindagi Hai Khel" - Seeta Aur Geeta

30 Day Bollywood Soundtrack Challenge: listing 1 - 10, Part 1
I am blogging again, hahaha! It's been forever. I am on Twitter more just with random thoughts, bitchiness, rants, anything. I tweet a lot about the movies I watch...anything from Hollywood to Bollywood to Telugu to Korean to Hong Kong to Thai to Filipino.
I learn about this challenge on Twitter and I copied this entirely from Beth Loves Bollywood because I liked her format a lot.
Entries 1 through 10 of the 30 Day Bollywood Song Challenge, brought to you via Bollystalgia and originating with the facebook group of the same name. Join the game on twitter with the hashtag #30daybollysongchallenge! Now that I'm caught up, I'll be putting my entries there, but I will also do summary posts like this with a lot more text. (Who me? Want more text? You don't say!)
But this part are my choices :D
1. A song that makes you happy
The Govinda-Neelam jodi is my fave jodi of all times. I absolutely looooove them. I always get upset when people bash Govinda. He was the dancing king back in the days. No other jodi danced their hearts off like Govinda-Neelam and had chemistry. I love them. I miss them soooo much!
My fave Govinda-Neelam song is "Main Pyar Ki Pujarin" - Hatya
(I actually reviewed this movie, with lots of caps)
2. A song that makes you sad
Every time I hear this song, my heart sinks. The clip that is right before the song is soooo heartbreaking, Kunal accusing Chandra of being with another man, insulting her calling her a hoochie like her mama, what he doesn't know is that she cannot reveal the truth who that man is.
"Mana Teri Nazar Mein" - Ahista Ahista
(I actually reviewed this movie, with lots of caps)
3. A song that you like driving to
I loooooooove this song and used to play it nonstop in the car back then. Oh, how I miss Preity and Rani!!
"Piya Piya O Piya" - Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega is so upbeat and lifting to me.
4. A song that you like walking to
Yes, I know that "Yeh Ishq Haaye" - Jab We Met is a remake of the Indonesian-French singer, Anggun, ‘Être Une Femme’but I still love it. I actually like the Hindi version better. Plus the gorgeous cinematography of Manala is an icing on the cake, to top it off with cherries with having tribal people in the background wearing outfits similiar to Hmong people :)
(one of the first movies I reviewed with thoughts and some caps)
5. A song that reminds you of someone
My daughter used to watch and listen to Bollywood music with me when she was younger. Now, she doesn't :( since she is into animes and prefers Japanese music. So every time I hear, "Kahin Se Aai Rani Kahin Se Aaya Raja" - Raju Chacha, it reminds me of the little girl who used to want to watch this movie. She used to watch it all day long and imitate the dances. She used to call Ajay Devgan, Raju Chacha a lot and thought that was his name. Ooooh, memories.
6. A song that you can chill to
Aashiqui is actually my favorite Bollywood soundtrack *ever*! I fell in love with the Bhatt's music since then.
"Dheere Dheere" is just chilled and laid back. I love it. I feel serenity when I listen to it.
(I actually reviewed this movie, with lots of caps)
7. A song that you like dancing to
I swear, every time I hear "No.1 Punjabi" - Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, I just wanna dance. I am humming the lyrics right now, ready to get up!
8. A favorite item number song
Can I do my fave item girl??? Malaika Arora-Khan??? I loooove her! MILF! To me, "Chaiya Chaiya" - Dil Se is the best item numbers hands down but Malaika has had other wonderful item numbers too like "Maahi Ve" - Kaante, & "Munni Badnaam Hui" - Dabangg. She even had a Telugu item number in Athadu, okay, I'll save that for my Tollywood Soundtrack Challenge :D
(BTW, I did a list of item girls back in 2009 too...)
9. A favourite song from a Yash Raj movie
Since I was just thinking about item numbers, I might as well, kill two birds with one stone and say "Sharara" - Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai. Shamita is the younger, underused sister of Shilpa Shetty. I like this song a lot and used to play it a lot back then. The movie wasn't as bad as everyone said it'll be either.
10. A favourite song often that is played at Indian weddings
I'm not Desi. I'm a Hmong Chick who Loves Indian Cinema. As much as I love Indian Cinema, I have N-E-V-E-R gone to a Desi wedding. No kidding! I live in Atlanta where a lot of Desi people live! Anyways, whenever I hear a Desi wedding, I think of "Aur Pyar Ho Gaya-Koi Jaane Koi Na" - Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya. I looooove Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. RIP.
That concludes part 1, come back for part 2
