On Christmas day we premiered the Greatest Filmi Hits Ever, eight hours of classic hit film songs as chosen by you on our website. Listen again to this show on the BBC Radio Player.
Here were some of your suggestions.
Chura Liya Hai Tumne - Yaadon Ki Barat "Just a classic... created 10 years before I was born!" - Ankit Jajoo
Aadmi Jo Kehta Hai - Majboor "I like this song because first of all the lyrics are very meaningful and are very true! Also a bonus is because it is sung by Kishore Kumar which makes the song very melodious and is picturised on Amitabh Bachchan and he carries the sad mood of the song very well!" - Munpreet Kaur Mangat
Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyar Sajna - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge "Great song! Sung really well and the film part of the song is great. I think the song is the greatest because it is catchy, singy and explains the films narration" - Tejinder Bilkhu
Koi Kahe...Kehta Rahe - Dil Chahta Hai "An upbeat funky new sound for a funky new era" - Punita Bhakta
Yeh Wada Raha - Yeh Wada Raha "Exceptional lyrics and a great beat... All time classic" - Bhupinder
Humko Hamein Se - Mohabbatien "Lata, Udit (always sounds like he's smiling), Shahrukh, Aishwarya: a killer combination and a beautiful song" - Poppy Robertson
Dhire Dhire - Aashiqui "It is one of the romantic songs that can still be heard today" - Ashie
Suraj Hua Madham - Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham "Amazing lyrics, fantastic location and plus the most compatible onscreen couple- Shahrukh Khan/ Kajol. So much passion and sensuality" - Sarika Prashar
Mera Joota Hai Japani - Awara "This is probably the first Hindi song that made headlines internationally and Hindi films/actors got noticed. Remember the public hysteria in Russia when Raj Kapoor, Nargis and Nirupa Roy travelled there in early 50's?" - Arvind Rai
Chalte Chalte Koi Mil Gayaa Thaa - Pakeezah "One that contains the best lyrics, music composition, filmisation, choreography, and the acting of all the actors involved in the song. Truely, one of the best song I have ever heard." - Mr. Mushtaq M. Shaikh
