Commentary:
Starting from the mid-2000s and continuing up to the present day, Hindi films and their associated soundtracks have become more of a corporate business akin to the way things are in Hollywood. With the proliferation of smart phones and the digital-music ecosystem, the primary means of distribution of Hindi film songs is now digital. The business of creating Hindi music now generally follows the corporate model, and with few exceptions most Hindi songs have become virtually indistinguishable from Western songs.
While there is certainly an audience for this kind of music which is popular in Modern Bollywood (primarily among the youth), there is no resemblance to the Hindi songs created in the latter half of the twentieth century. Thus, you will find my lists of songs becoming more and more sketchy for this period, primarily because of my lack of interest in the style of music being created.
Having said that, I think there were a few soundtracks in the 2010s worthy of mention:
Aashiqui 2, Chennai Express, Dabangg, Ek Villain, PK, Queen, Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
There may be other great albums missing from the above list, but as I have already stated my knowledge of Hindi music from this period is limited. If you believe there are other songs or albums that should be added to the list, please share your thoughts by filling out this form.
