Hindi film songs – we love them and so do you. A music fan can find whatever song they need to meet their mood, whether it be happy, sad, mellow or dancing around your room with your hairbrush (you know you have done it) because they come from all genres of music and some fusions as well. They are what make the scene not only in the film, but sometimes in our lives as well. You hear a song and not only are you transported to the movie but many times to where you were when you first heard that favorite song. 2009 had an abundance of fabulous songs and we had a terrible time narrowing it down to 25. However, we prevailed and after much discussion and many many versions we now present our picks for the Best Songs of 2009.
