As someone who grew up in the era of Bollywood melodies and romantic dramas, I must say that each of these films has left a unique imprint on my heart, and more so on my playlist! However, if I were to pick one that truly resonates with me even now, it would have to be Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.
Hindi films are famously recognized for their captivating and enduring melodies. Sometimes, Bollywood directors delve so deeply into the music that it overshadows the entire movie. Yet, is there anything wrong with that? There have been numerous instances when we’ve chosen to watch a film solely due to its enchanting soundtrack. In this article, we’ve compiled a list of Netflix movies whose music we believe stole our hearts more than the films themselves. Take a look!
9 movies on Netflix whose songs we loved more than the film
1. Mr And Mrs Mahi (2024)
- Director: Sharan Sharma
- IMDb Rating: 5.9/10
- Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor, Kumud Mishra, Rajesh Sharma, Zarina Wahab
- Genre: Sports, Drama, Romance
The newly-released sports-drama movie centered around a pair of enthusiasts with a passion for cricket. Though the film’s aim was spot on, it didn’t quite deliver the emotional punch we anticipated. Instead, we found ourselves humming the poignant tunes from Sachin-Jigar’s soundtrack, such as “Tu Hai Toh” and “Agar Ho Tum,” long after the closing credits had finished rolling.
2. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023)
- Director: Luv Ranjan
- IMDb Rating: 6/10
- Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Anubhav Bassi
- Genre: Comedy, Romance
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must say that without the dynamic duo of Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha paired together and the classic Bollywood flair from Luv Ranjan, the movie wouldn’t have been the same captivating experience it was. It has been over a year since its release, yet the energetic party number “Pyaar Hota Kai Baar Hai,” the enchanting romantic track “Jaadui,” and the poignant heartbreak anthem “O Bedardeya” by Pritam continue to dominate playlists everywhere.
3. Love Aaj Kal (2020)
- Director: Imtiaz Ali
- IMDb Rating: 4.7/10
- Cast: Kartik Aaryan, Sara Ali Khan, Arushi Sharma
- Genre: Romance, Drama
This upcoming movie was highly anticipated. While the romantic drama may have followed its own course, we’re thrilled that it provided an exceptional soundtrack by Pritam. Given Imtiaz Ali’s reputation as a skilled filmmaker, it’s no surprise that he never skimps on music for his films, and this is indeed a feast for the ears and eyes.
4. Zero (2018)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGPmFSB8qVY
- Director: Aanand L Rai
- IMDb Rating: 5.8/10
- Cast: Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhay Deol, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub
- Genre: Romance, Comedy
Did you find yourself humming the iconic tune from that movie when you heard its title? This romantic-drama film had both heartwarming romance and comedic moments, but the story of a little person’s struggle to balance his love for a scientist with cerebral palsy and his infatuation with a Hollywood star seemed somewhat forgettable. However, we still appreciate Ajay-Atul’s musical contributions that have left us with songs we still cherish today.
5. Ok Jaanu (2017)
- Director: Shaad Ali
- IMDb Rating: 5.3/10
- Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Sarika Singh
- Genre: Drama, Romance
Following the success of Aashiqui 2, there were high hopes for Ok Jaanu due to its star-studded cast. Indeed, witnessing Shraddha and Aditya’s chemistry is a delightful experience. But instead of watching an entire movie, we found ourselves captivated by their magical performances in timeless melodies crafted by AR Rahman such as the legendary Humma song and Enna Sona. In this way, dealing with the film’s narrative became more bearable.
6. Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017)
- Director: Imtiaz Ali
- IMDb Rating: 5.1/10
- Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma
- Genre: Romance, Drama
Without the collaboration of Imtiaz Ali, Shah Rukh Khan, and Anushka Sharma, there’s a good chance the romantic-drama wouldn’t have left such a lasting impression on us. The plot was well-structured and filmed across various locations, but perhaps it fell short due to an excess of reminiscent feelings from Love Aaj Kal.
As a devoted admirer, I simply can’t get enough of Pritam’s enchanting, heart-fluttering tunes, particularly the captivating duets like “Hawayein.” These melodies have a magical hold on me; they keep me spellbound and glued to my screens.
7. Fitoor (2016)
- Director: Abhishek Kapoor
- IMDb Rating: 5.4/10
- Cast: Katrina Kaif, Aditya Roy Kapur, Tabu, Ajay Devgn
- Genre: Romance, Drama
Let’s avoid discussing a film that stands out uniquely! This movie is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless novel Great Expectations, but it presents a contemporary tale instead. In this modern version, we follow the journey of a budding artist named Noor, who finds herself captivated by Firdaus, a wealthy and stunning socialite. However, their love story is entangled with the haunting past of Firdaus’ guardian.
Despite the movie appearing visually impressive and almost artistic, Amit Trivedi truly delivered on the musical front for its soundtrack.
8. Gori Tere Pyar Mein (2013)
- Director: Punit Malhotra
- IMDb Rating: 4.9/10
- Cast: Imran Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Shraddha Kapoor
- Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama
Wasn’t that story about the love between carefree and charismatic Sriram and passionate social worker Dia a bit nostalgic for you? The tale unfolded as they navigated a series of unexpected events after Sriram lied to Dia, leading to a challenge to win her back. Despite its twists and turns, we’ve still been humming along to the catchy tunes of Vishal-Shekhar, like Tooh, Naina, and others, ever since.
9. Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012)
- Director: Shakun Batra
- IMDb Rating: 5.8/10
- Cast: Kareena Kapoor, Zenobia Shroff, Imran Khan, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Ram Kapoor
- Genre: Comedy Drama, Romance
In closing, let me mention Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, a romantic comedy that tells the tale of Rahul, a traditional and somewhat somber man, and Riana, a carefree and vivacious woman. Despite the film being years old, Vishal-Shekhar’s music continues to transport us back to its soundtrack.
Which of these films according to you has the most beautiful musical album?
