Bollywood top xx year fundas

And I thought about how

1. It has become fashionable to have a profane word in a film title or a film song
eg: Kaminey, Pappu cant dance saala, man lafange, Lafange Parinde, etc

2. How diseases have been explored in last 5 years for film scripts
eg.: Khamoshi, Black, My name is Khan, Taare Zameen Par, Guzaarish, Lafange Parinde, etc.

3. How names have become important to songs. (no comments on what they do to their namesakes)
eg.: Kabhi Kabhi Aditi, Munni Badnaam, Sheila ki jawani, aisha, blah blah

4. How Hindi language is gaining momentum again through songs...
eg.: many egs but can't write the whole songs, but many of vishal bharadwaj, gulzar, prasoon doshi songs...

(if i have 6 more, i can send it to a magazine! you are invited to contribute)

oye lucky, etc..
and even using a regional gravy to prepare ur global dish i would say. in film songs moreso.
like mainstream commercial cinema songs having a heavy punjabi gravy in the lyrics and music.

also the amit trivedi brand of likeable music. u articulate it for use.. cant really do it right now.

and khamoshi (if its the sanjay leela bhansali one) surely isnt in the 'last 5 yrs' bracket i think.

and again "aali re" ! while talking bout the borrowing from regional flavours..
