Hindi film industry, also renowned as Bollywood produces thousands of movies every year. One of the most common features of these movies is 'Song and Dance' sequences. Not only Hindi movies but all regional movies also have songs as their integral part. These songs and dance scenes are quite elaborate and lavishly filmed.
Hindi songs are basically related to Bollywood or Indian film songs. The retro styles of the classical era were very evolving. Everything from arrangement, rendition and recording was about simplicity. Folk music was the base in the cinema though in parallel there were great borrowings from the classical Hindustani gharanas. The thumri, ghazal, devotional songs and the geet are different forms of Hindi songs.
