The idea behind this compilation is to put together a brief list of 11 to encourage our readers to join in with their choices. Eleven\u00a0is an incredibly limited number and we had to leave out stalwart music composers such as Naushad, Anil Biswas, Chitragupt, Husnlal Bhagatram, Ghulam Mohammad, RC Boral, Pankaj Mullick and so many others in this tiny list. But why eleven? Well, we just thought of being different from the regular list of \u00a010 and pick a number which is auspicious in our culture. Therefore,\u00a011 it is.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the songs and don&#8217;t forget to put in your most loved romantic number in the comments box below.

Oh yes, you have the liberty to a dash of tongue-in-cheek humour.<\/p>\n<p>Sample this:<br \/>\n<em>yeh bholapan tumhara ye shararat aur ye shokhi<br \/>\nzarurat kya tumhe talvar ki teeron ki khanjar ki<br \/>\nnazar bhar ke jise tum dekh lo woh khud hi mar jaye<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Bees Saal Baad<\/em> (1962) was a remake of the Bengali whodunnit <em>Jighansha<\/em> (1952) and marked Hemant Kumar&#8217;s foray into film production. The edge-of-the-seat thriller was a runaway hit but despite its undertones of suspense, Hemant Kumar utilized his musical skills to compose some ever-lasting songs along with Shakeel Badayuni. The film&#8217;s haunting Lata Mangeshkar number <em>Kahin deep jalee kahin dil<\/em> completed a hatrick of Filmfare Awards for best lyrics for Shakeel Badayuni.<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to teasing your beloved with flattering praises, this romantic solo from singer-composer Hemant Kumar takes the cake.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c2150a;\">(<em>Bees Saal Baad<\/em>, 1962) \u2013 Hemant Kumar \/ Shakeel Badayuni \/ Lata Mangeshkar<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y15gnDhOJq8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><em>Kitna haseen hai mausam<\/em>\u00a0(C Ramchandra)<\/h2>\n<p>The weather sparkles, the birds sing, the breeze flows, the journey is bliss &#8211; only when you have your loved one with you!
