Do you remember the time when you sat on your couch before your favourite serial began just so you could enjoy listening to its title track?
Let's refresh those old memories with these 14 title tracks from the serials of DD1 and DD2.
1. Surabhi: This hugely popular show not only had the distinction of being the longest running cultural show but was also noted for it's signature tune & imaginatively chosen animated visuals. Music was composed by classical violinist L Subramaniam.
2. Byomkesh Bakshi: The crime detection series based on the novel written by Sharadindu Bandopadhyay had an outstanding opening theme by Ananda Shankar, with a fusion of Indian classical music and electronics and synth-based score.

Thread: Geeta Dutt
Geeta Ghosh Roy Chaudhary, the singer who not only entertained us with her dulcet voice but also successfully survived the Lata onslaught was often hailed as the female counterpart of KL Saigal.
Taking music lessons first under her mother and then under Pt. Hirendranath Chowdhary, Geeta made her singing debut at the age of 15.
In this thread, we will explore the astounding versatility of this melody queen by revisiting 7 of her most popular numbers.
1. Mera sundar sapna beet gaya: Geeta sang this melancholic love ballad when she was just 17. Her young but plaintive voice was beautifully able to capture the litany of woes of a woman who has lost everything in love.

Thread: Indipop
90s was an era when tasteful music flourished outside bollywood. Indipop was a full-fledged parallel industry giving serious competition to bollywood which was stuck with cheesy lyrics (choli, khatiya) and dreadful tunes.
Here is a playlist of 10 songs that is bound to take you tk a trip down the memory lane and make you reminisce over the bygone era.
(Jas Arora 😍😍)
1. Paree hoon mein: This boldly themed song about a high school girl having a crush on her professor made Suneeta Rao an overnight start.
Composed by Leslie Lewis, this mellow n pensive song from Dhuaan, complemented by Sunita's sharp vocals became a chartbuster.

This thread is dedicated to women who shaped the bollywood music industry before Lata and Asha arrived and changed the scene forever.
The sheen of golden era would have been halved without the full-throated husky voices of these amazing singers.
1. Zohrabai Ambalewali:
Zohrabai belonged to the first generation playback singers of hindi cinema. She started singing in the pre-independence era and laid a strong foundation for today's billion dollar Indian music industry.
Starting her career at a young age of 13, she initially recorded thumris for gramophone companies & then went on to make a mark by delivering unforgettable melodies in her distinct, inimitable style.

Shakti Samanta's quixotic romantic drama "Aradhana" was a trendsetter in many ways -
Catapulting Rajesh Khanna to dizzying height of stardom, reviving Kishor Kumar's playback career, and presenting the story of a woman unapologetic about her pre-marital pregnancy. 1/7
However, the one thing that left viewers go bonkers and blushing was the tantalizingly seductive number "Roop tera mastana, pyaar mera deewana". 2/7
Set amidst the backdrop of a thunderstorm, the song shows an impassioned Khanna looking wantonly at Tagore draoed in a candy-orange blanket.
A sweeping accordion sparks off the current and Kishor Kumar's sensuous voice sets the screen on fire. 3/7
