here is my list starting from the best
Bol na halke halke -Jhoom barabar jhoom: This is the best song of the year. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was simply superb. One of the best songs from SEL
umre lagi lago kehte huye
do lafz the ek baat thi
wo ek din sau saal ka
sau saal ki wo raat thi
kaisa lage jo chup chap dono
pal pal mein poori sadiyaan bitade
O re pakhi- Khoya khoya chand: Among the best slow heart rendering number heard in a long time. One of Sonu's gems....he was so restrained in this song
O meri jaan-Life in a Metro: Loved this song...the year definitely belonged to KK and Pritam and they were in top form...the beats were amazing..the antra was soul stirring....
Tu aa gaya yun nazar, jaisa subah dopahar mein
madhoshi yunhi nahi dil pe chayee
niyat ne li angdayee
chhuaa tune kuch is tarah
badli fizaa, badla sama
o meri jaan
Tose Naina- Anwar: Guest composer Mithoon provided 2 excellent numbers in this movie (Maul being the other one)...even though just 21 yrs of age this guy has tremendous talent..check out how he used the sound of water so effectively when the song starts
Main agar kahoon- Om Shanti Om: One more addition to Sonu's repertoire of classy romantic numbers...the song has heavy use of violins especially during preludes/interludes..also check out the use of santoor (very soft...only can be captured if heard at full volume) during the interludes...
Taare zameen par- Taare zameen par: Whenever I listen to this song, the entire movie comes in front of me...the video brings tears to one's eyes...though Shankar doesnt sing much he has sung this beautifully...he should be given more oppurtunities...the song has beautifully used many similes/metaphors a la Ek Ladki ko dekha
jaise aankhon ki dibiya mein neendiya
aur neendiya mein Meetha Sa Sapna
aur sapne mein Mil Jaaye Farishta Sa Koi
jaise rangon bhari pichkari
jaise titliyan phoolon ki kyari
jaise bina matlab ka pyara rishta ho koi
yeh to asha ki lehar hain
yeh to ummeed ki sehar hain
khusiyon ki nehar hain
Main jahaan Rahoon-Namaste London: Another winner from Rahat Fateh Ali Khan....Krishna too complements him well.....Himesh's music was also superb...both the singers showed tremendous range.
Halke Halke-Honeymoon Travels: Wish this song could have been promoted well...among the better romantic numbers in recent times
Thirak Thirak-Khoya khoya Chand: I love the way the prelude builds up the song...shantanu has given good music and Sonu-Shreya do full justice to the number.
Maula mere-Anwar: Roop Kumar was at his best...even better than Sandese Aate and Khamosh Raat....
Dil Kya kare-Salaam-e-ishq: Adnan sang this song beautifully...the lyric were innovative
din bhar kuch miss karta hoon
jaane kaise khwaahish karta hoon
bheed mein tanha rehta hoon
dil kya kare
bhool gaya main din saal mahina
january mein bhi aaye pasina
aata hai aaraam kahin na dil kya kare
Ek din teri- Naqaab: Another winner from KK....brilliant number...even the video was beautiful...
Some other better numbers of the yr are listed below.....
In Dino- Life in a Metro
Aaoge Jab tum-Jab we met
Chak De India-Chak de India
Kholo kholo-Taare Zameen Par
Teri Tamanna- The Train
Maiyya maiyya-Guru
Tera Mera Rishta-Awarapan
Yahin hota pyar- Namaste London
Baatein Kuch Ankahi- Life in a Metro

Taare Zameen Par : One of the best movies I have seen
innumerable movies have shown child's plight in a really sensitive way...the latest release Taare Zameen Par is at the top of the list.....
first of all lemme talk abt Aamir....even thgh this is his first movie as a director he has come across as an excellent story teller....he has conveyed the pathos/pain/grief of the child in a very apt way....many of the scenes are the movie are excellently handled....he is even not afraid of showing the child's name as the first name in the credit rolls even before his....he has the guts to tell a story which no big actor would have liked their name associated with....being a superstar Aamir could have easily directed a big budgeted highly publicized movie with lotsa entertainment factor...but he has gone on a totally different tangent and has come up with a masterpiece....no director has attempted this subject till now and Aamir has the courage to take this big risk in his first film...if u think Aamir is perfectionist as an actor and watch out this directorial debut and u will have to eat ur words....it proves that he is a perfectionist as a director as well....he again turns up aces as far as acting is concerned...specially the 2 confrontations scenes with Ishaan's father first at Ishaan's home in Mumbai and then when Ishaan's father visits him at Panchagani...this scene even shows how talented the director is......another Aamir scene that stands out is the climax scene of the movie...this movie has one of the best impactful climax in recent times....
coming to Darsheel...he is the real scene stealer....this child deserves the highest award for 2007....even filmfare award for best actor would not do justice for his portrayal of Ishaan....just watch out how he emotes/cries/laughs throughout the movie....u really feel for this child throughout the movie....some of his scenes that stand out are his fight with the child during cricket, day on Mumbai streets, climax scene....
Tisca as Ishaan's mother is perfect...she needs to be given more roles....she is a very good actress....he first stint as actress (i guess the movie was Platform with Ajay Devgan arnd 13-14 yrs back) was not successful..but now she is back with a bang.....
Animations and camerawork are A class......moreover they blend really well with the proceedings.... screenplay by Aamir and Amole Gupte (creative director) is spot on....songs are hummable....title song is the pick of the lot...the video is even more beautiful (both during the movie and when the credit rolls in the end)....video of jame raho is also goood.....kholo kholo and bum bole too are good numbers.....
This movie needs to be seen by every parent...this conveys a strong message...one cannot expect each child to be a topper in all fields...some excel in academics while some excel in sports....each child needs to be given creative freedom....parents should not have any ambitions from his child....ambition and pressure kills the child.....
no more senti stuff.....go watch the movie....not to be missed at any cost at least in this life.....
