The songs were melodic and featured heavy use of live instruments, the storylines focused heavily on family values, and the stars had a "larger-than-life" persona that modern cinema often lacks. Whether it is the soulful voice of Kishore Kumar in the early 80s or the playback magic of Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik in the 90s, the music alone makes this list worth revisiting.
