The Hindi film song now began to make its presence felt as a predominating characteristic in the culture of the nation and began to assume roles beyond the limited purview of cinema. The Hindi song was such an integral features of Hindi mainstream cinema, besides other characteristics, that post-independence alternative cinema, of which the films of Satyajit Ray are an example, discarded the song and dance motif in its effort to stand apart from mainstream cinema but each having songs embedded in them such that it is incorrect to classify them as "musicals". Within the first few years itself, Hindi cinema had produced a variety of films which easily categorised into genres such as "historicals", "mythologicals", "devotional, "fantasy" etc. In 1934 Hindi film songs began to be recorded on gramophones and later, played on radio channels, giving rise to a new form of mass entertainment in India which was responsive to popular demand. Right from the advent of Indian cinema in 1931, musicals with song numbers have been a regular feature in Indian cinema. However, the practice subsided and subsequent films usually featured between six and ten songs in each production. This was closely followed by Shirheen Farhad (1931) by Jamshedji Framji Madan, also by Madan, which had as many as 42 song sequences strung together in the manner of an opera, and later by Indra Sabha which had as many as 69 song sequences. Hindi film songs are present in Hindi cinema right from the first sound film Alam Ara (1931) by Ardeshir Irani which featured seven songs.
The Indian music industry is largely dominated by Bollywood soundtracks, which account for nearly 80% of the country's music revenue.
In addition, Punjabi is also occasionally used for Bollywood songs. Urdu poetry has had a particularly strong impact on Bollywood songs, where the lyrics draw heavily from Urdu poetry and the ghazal tradition. Linguistically, Bollywood songs tend to use vernacular Hindustani, mutually intelligible to self-identified speakers of both Hindi and Urdu, while modern Bollywood songs also increasingly incorporate elements of Hinglish. The first song recorded in India by Gauhar Jaan in 1902 and the first Bollywood film Alam Ara (1931) were under Saregama, India's oldest music label owned by RPSanjiv Goenka Group. Though Hindi films routinely contain many songs and some dance routines, they are not musicals in the Western theatrical sense the music-song-dance aspect is an integral feature of the genre akin to plot, dialogue and other parameters. Hindi film songs are now firmly embedded in North India's popular culture and routinely encountered in North India in marketplaces, shops, during bus and train journeys and numerous other situations. Hindi film songs form a predominant component of Indian pop music, and derive their inspiration from both classical and modern sources. Derived from the song-and-dance routines common in Indian films, Bollywood songs, along with dance, are a characteristic motif of Hindi cinema which gives it enduring popular appeal, cultural value and context. 1735 (Rajasthan)īollywood songs, more formally known as Hindi Geet or filmi songs, are songs featured in Bollywood films.
