If you're looking for reasons to jam with your dad, check out these evergreen ghazals in Indian movies.
The thing about music is we never seem to stop discovering it. The older we get the more songs we're introduced to and each fits perfectly with that phase of our lives. One can automatically guess what mood we're in by listening to our current playlist and that's awesome. It's said that a human being starts developing their own music taste in their teens, mostly despising their parents' music choices and going for what their friends are listening to because obviously, it's cool. But as we grow old, we realize our parents' playlist is too good to be ignored by us, and one genre that tops it is ghazals. And just like our playlist, there have been various ghazals in Indian movies that keep getting better with time like fine wine.
But as a person who finds comfort in songs and considers it as a love language, one can never be old enough to fall in love with a new genre of music. We know that our parents have better playlists mostly because we understand the songs better now. Ghazals take up most space in their playlists and we can never be upset about it. There's something electric and extraordinary about ghazals that just transports us to another dimension. Tbh, there's nothing better than spending weekend evenings with our parents listening to some good old Mehdi Hassan, Gulam Ali, and Jagjit Singh songs and vibes like we never vibed before. Cinema had also understood the power of ghazals and included them in their movies that went on to become evergreen.
Listen to these masterpieces!
