Back in the 2000s, mornings weren’t about Spotify playlists or Bluetooth speakers – they were about MTV Beats, 9XM, Channel V, and B4U Music blaring from the living room TV while we got ready for school. Those are the Bollywood songs that we fall in love with.
Toothbrush in mouth, shoes half-tied, and mum yelling from the kitchen – we’d still wait for one last song before leaving. Those few minutes of music were pure magic, and the tunes still live rent-free in our heads today.
Here’s a throwback to the songs that made us late for school – but totally worth it!
Tera Hone Laga Hoon (2009)
That soft strumming, Atif Aslam’s dreamy voice – it was the morning anthem. Every time this played, we’d pretend we were in our own Bollywood rom-com, probably running in slow motion with a school bag instead of a bouquet.
Pehli Nazar Mein (2008)
Romantic, intense, and just the right amount of filmy. This song made every bus stop crush feel like destiny. Admit it – we all imagined this playing in the background while locking eyes with someone.
Tum Se Hi (2007)
The perfect rainy-morning track. You’d stare out the window, toast in hand, feeling all sorts of emotions for someone who didn’t even know you existed. Classic 2000s teen drama.
Jaane Kyun (2008)
Instant serotonin! This song was pure joy – cheerful, colourful, and the perfect beat to start your school day. Probably the reason half of us were dancing while brushing our hair.
Zara Sa (2008)
That guitar riff hit differently. Whether you were feeling cool or contemplative, Zara Sa made you believe your life had a mysterious edge (even if you were just going to maths class).
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi (2008)
If sunshine had a sound, this would be it. Every time it played, it felt like the world was lighter – the kind of song that turned boring mornings into Bollywood montages.
Aahun Aahun (2009)
The energy! The beats! The madness! This was the soundtrack to every imaginary dance battle we had while packing our tiffins. If this didn’t wake you up, nothing would.
Desi Girl (2008)
The ultimate confidence boost. You’d see Priyanka Chopra owning the screen and suddenly start walking around like the main character – even if you were just wearing a school uniform.
Tera Mera Rishta Purana (2007)
For the melodramatic souls – that one song that made us feel heartbreak we’d never even experienced. Perfect for days when you wanted to stare dramatically out the bus window.
Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai (2006)
This one was pure emotion. Atif Aslam again (of course). We didn’t know what love was, but somehow this song made us feel everything.
Those MTV mornings weren’t just about songs – they were tiny moments of joy, hope, and filmy daydreams. Even today, when one of these tracks randomly plays, we’re right back there – hair half-combed, bag half-zipped, heart completely full.
Here’s to the era when Bollywood Songs made our mornings magical – one song at a time.
