Hindi Songs - Style and Format

Style and Format

The language of Hindi movie songs, generally termed Hindi, can be complex. Some songs are saturated with Urdu and Persian terms and it is not uncommon to hear use of English words in songs from modern Hindi movies. Several other Indian languages have also been used including Braj, Bhojpuri, Punjabi and Rajasthani. Occasionally a few lines in other Indian languages are used as well.

Most of the times, the composers just copy songs from other musicians. Recently, however they have started calling it "Inspiration." In a film, music, both in itself and accompanied with dance, has been used to for many purposes including "heightening a situation, accentuating a mood commenting on theme and action, providing relief and serving as interior monologue."
