"Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon..." Top Bollywood Songs 2012: January-April

Song: Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon
Film: Yes Boss
Composer: Jatin Lalit
Playback Singers: Abhijeet & Alka Yagnik

A third of the year 2012 is already over! Can you believe it??? Anyway, I compiled a list of my favorite Bollywood songs of 2012 so far to let everyone know which songs have been most memorable for me this year.* Honestly speaking, I meant to make this list when March ended (the first quarter of the year), and do it for every quarter of the year. However, this works just as well, and now after every four months I will post my favorite songs that have been released in that time frame. This list will include songs from films that came out in early 2012 (even if their music was released at the end of 2011). Here they are! (in no particular order).
  • Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (Film: Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu): Although this song is completely auto tuned, it's still soooo catchy! However, I do believe that Amit Trivedi's creativity far surpasses what he did for this song. Nevertheless, it's still great! Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
  • Aahatein (Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu): I am easily attracted to sad or depressing songs, including this one, also by Amit Trivedi. The song has the lyrics "par kuch kami hai" (meaning: "but there's something missing"); however, I don't think there's anything missing in the song! Nice.  Aahatein
  • Voh Dekhnay Mein (London Paris New York): I feel bad for Ali Zafar that this movie fizzled out, but I still liked some of the songs he composed for this film, especially Voh Dekhnay Mein! The lyrics (also by Ali Zafar) are super cute, and his voice...*faint* Voh Dekhnay Mein
  • Teri Yaadon Se (Blood Money): I honestly love all of the Blood Money songs (I would be lost in life without music from Bhatt brothers films). This song, composed by Pranay, is probably the most sad/depressing in the album (no wonder I like it), and Mustafa Zahid is amazing as always. Teri Yaadon Se
  • Raabta (Agent Vinod): I love this song so much, I made an entire post on it earlier this year. Pritam is back with his loveliness, and Arijit Singh's voice sounds fresh, new, and sweet. Awesome. Raabta
  • Jannatein Kahan (Jannat 2): I enjoy listening to most of the Jannat 2 songs (see my review here), especially this one because it uses the Zara Sa theme from the original Jannat. I appreciate how Pritam did that with this composition, there can't be a Jannat sequel without Zara Sa in there somewhere! Jannatein Kahan
  • Pareshaan (Ishaqzaade): As noted in my recent review of Ishaqzaade, I believe this song is just amazing. It's so amazing that I'm 'pareshaan' (worried) that a song can be this good (just kidding). This is probably my favorite song in 2012 so far. Congrats to Amit Trivedi and singer Shalmali Kholgade for this song, I hope it gets some awards! Pareshaan
  • Pani Da Rang (Vicky Donor): This song is beautiful, and the Punjabi lyrics make it sound so unique!  Ayushmann's voice is perfect (I still can't believe he's so good as a singer) and he even helped compose the song with Rochak Kohli. The lyrics are what I like most about the song (even if I can't completely understand them). "Akhiyaan cho anju rul de...Pani Da Rang
Don't be shy and please post comments on what your favorite songs in 2012 have been!

* I haven't listened to all the songs released this year, so this list may be edited once I do listen to them all.
