2. The classics relied on instruments along with vocal strength of the singer to dish out superhit numbers. Today, beat is the king.
3. Remember playing antakshari and knowing the lyrics of most of the songs? With songs like ‘Palang tod ke’ making the rounds, forgetting the lyrics is easier than remembering them.
4. The old music scene relied on subtlety to praise the charms of a woman. The current ones leave nothing to the imagination. Munni badnaam hui, seriously?
