Best Hindi Songs of 2014: Top 20

For music lovers, 2014 was a fantastic year with quite a few songs that topped the charts for weeks. While the music albums of big films disappointed, smaller films were helped immensely by chartbuster music.

Music plays a very important role in the success of Bollywood films. A popular song can sometimes result in films with hardly any face-value taking huge opening at the box office. Take for example ‘Galliyan’ from ‘Ek Villain’. The popularity of the song helped the film open at around the same level as Salman Khan’s Jai Ho.
