Talk:Hindi film music

message: Who ever wrote the some representatives songs section made a terrible mistake. 
Why isn't Mera Joota hai japani in the list. It is Raj kapoor's most famous song, and it is one of the songs that represent him. Please folks, edit this section and put this song in there please.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.59.10.33 (talk) 02:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Could someone who is knowledgeable in Urdu give the Urdu translations of the songs in the artice? I noticed someone has already done so for one of them. Thanks.
: I'll try to transliterate some of the songs into Urdu, but since I'm not a native speaker, I'll probably make mistakes.  But I'll try to see what I can do, no guarantees though. --Basawala 17:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Urdu Translations of Songs

message: I think one of the songs has an incorrect title.
It has: "ho koyal kuke huk uthae";
I think this should be: "ghar aa jaa pardesi"
:Thanks. I have made the correction.--Vikramsingh 00:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Some listing of yearly hit Hindi songs is given on page Binaca Geetmala but it stops at year 1980. Is something similar available somewhere for period 1980-till date. Vjdchauhan 21:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Which site have ''Year wise listing of Hit Hindi songs''

message: Do you really want to put representative songs. There are too many to put in and through each edit some will keep adding more (their own favourite). It can make the article unmanageable.
:Yes, there are too many. However I think the current list is a well selected list of representative songs. So far, no one has added any songs to this page after my initial selection. Howevr I have seen them added to other articles.--Vikramsingh 17:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The only capitalized song title is Chaiyya Chaiyya (possibly because of its own wikipedia page), but why aren't the other songs capitalized? I'm not sure if they should be capitalized, but songs in America, etc are indeed capitalized... why not these Hindi songs? --Miss Burkle 00:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Does the page contain all of any songs, or most of words in a song? If so, that song is a copyright violation, and may not appear in Wikipedia. To be a copyright violation, all that is necessary is to copy all, or a substantial part of a work of art. If that work of art is only a few lines long, it's still a copyright violation.

thread_title: Copyright violation

message: 1) "Most of them are easily understood by anyone in the Indian subcontinent."
Really? I'm a Bengali speaker from India and don't understand most Hindi songs, and definitely not most Bollywood songs with Urdu in it. Same with other non-Hindi speakers.
2) "The lines of Bollywood songs are some of the most memorized and repeated expressions in India. Yet, since Bollywood has not been considered formal literature, the lyrics of the Bollywood songs have not been studied in an academic setting."
First line: Huh? Maybe in states where Hindi movies are hugely popular. Second line: What? 172.162.118.208 (talk) 20:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

message: All four external links were personal to commercial websites - most probably promotional / spam links. None of them added anything more to this article.Removed them all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.244.193 (talk) 21:26, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The terms "Bollywood" and "Hindi film songs" are being used interchangeably which is quite confusing, because Bollywood song lyrics are not always completely in Hindi, as well as Bollywood films, which often incorporate other languages of Indian origin.
