Evergreen Bollywood Songs: A Blast From The Past!

Last New Year, I was sulking in a corner at some boring-ass relative’s place; well obviously! I mean what do you expect, I missed out on THE party of the year just because family time is important, not safe blah blah blah. UGHH!!!! Someone then came up with the idea of listening to classic Retro-style Bollywood Songs over the decades. I don’t know what happened after that but as we rolled back the years, covering playlists decade-wise, starting allllll the way back from the ’50s!!
