The 90s: My Top 15 Music Albums (Movies) in Tamil, Hindi & Telugu

Jeevan tagged me on Facebook a while ago to list my Top 15 Music Albums (Movies in which I loved all the songs). Since I was actively listening to music during the 90s and early 2000s, most of my selections are from that era.

Movie (Language) – Music Director

1. Mouna Raagam (Tamil) – Illayaraja 2. Chinna Thambi (Tamil) – Illayaraja 3. Thiruda Thiruda (Tamil) – A R Rehman
4. Bombay (Tamil) – A R Rehman
5. Minnale (Tamil) – Harris Jeyaraj
6. 7G Rainbow Colony (Tamil) – Yuvan Shankar Raja
7. Nerukku Ner (Tamil) – Deva

8. Geethanjali (Telugu) – Illayaraja
9. Gulabi (Telugu) – Shashi Preetam

10. Baazigar (Hindi) – Anu Malik
11. Dilwale Dulhaniyan Le Jayenge (Hindi) – Jatin Lalit
12. Rangeela (Hindi) – A R Rehman
13. Lagaan (Hindi) – A R Rehman 14. Taal (Hindi) – A R Rehman
15. 1942 – A Love Story (Hindi) – R D Burman

Just choose any of the above movies and listen to any song in it – you’ll love it.

Those days, more than the movies, the songs connected with me. I wonder why I dropped this passion later on, except for a short while in 2011 when I did a Top 10 Songs every month and for the year. I have neither been an active listener nor have I followed the trending songs – unless they reach me somehow.

Time to reconnect 🙂

        ARR is a good music director. But in my personal opinion he is over-rated.

      Good to see that you listen to Telugu music too!

        Geethanjali was popular in Tamil Nadu because it was dubbed into Tamil here. But the songs and the movie was better in Telugu, I must admit. Gulabi was a movie I saw during one of my trips to Nellore – I returned with an audio cassette.
