Hindi movie songs is a vast ocean and so far we in this blog have only been to the surface with occasional plunges. We have only covered a small fraction of all the songs that are lying out there.

While posting those songs, I had not realised that all these songs were sung by female singers. As many as four female singers had sung in these songs. The heroine Jayshee in fact has sung her own songs in this movie.
