'Zor ka jhatka': Even though the film failed to take off at the box office, this song from Action Replayy flew higher and higher on popularity charts. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan crooned the moderately paced romantic track with such expertise that it made people sit up and take notice. 'Tere mast mast do nain': Dabangg gave another hit in 'Tere mast mast do nain', but this time the composers were brothers Sajid-Wajid. Composed by Lalit Pandit and sung by Mamta Sharma and Aishwarya, 'Munni badnaam hui' from the superhit film Dabangg is still ruling the roost. 'Munni badnaam hui': One of the most popular item numbers of the year, the fast-paced, catchy song with a rustic flavour created a nationwide sensation. Composed by Amit Trivedi of Dev D fame for Aisha, the fast number instantly made its mark because of the unpredictable orchestration and the fun element woven together intelligently. 'Gal mithi mithi': This track is an amazing folk outing by Tochi Raina and is not like any run-of-the-mill Punjabi number. It also contains traces of Sufi elements that add edge to the song. Pritam Chakroborty's composition and Mohit Chauhan's voice have spelt magic for the song. 'Pee loon': The soft love ballad from the crime thriller Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai still occupies air time on most of the radio channels. The simple lyrics were beautifully rendered by Shafqat Amanat Ali with ample support from Sunidhi. Composed by director duo Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravijiani, it surely is a soulful and melodious number. 'Bin tere': The song from I Hate Luv Storys managed to bring out the hidden romantic side in all of us. It was a winner all the way and made everyone dance to its tunes. The hit number appealed even after a makeover because the composers retained a few original lyrics. Sung by Mika Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan and Sajid Khan, it revisited Amitabh Bachchan's popular song 'Apni to jaise taise' from the 1981 superhit Lawaaris. 'Aap ka kya hoga (Dhanno)': An interesting remix was packed into the Housefull album by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy in the guise of 'Aapka kya hoga (Dhanno)'. The sounds of tablas and dholaks were moulded together so beautifully that it helped the song become a chartbuster and stay on top for a long time. Once again sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan along with Shankar Mahadevan and Richa Sharma, the Sufi number tugged at one's heartstrings. 'Sajda': Composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy mesmerised listeners with this song from the film My Name Is Khan. The sound of the accordion was prominent in the composition and was reminiscent of Raj Kapoor songs. Vishal Bharadwaj directed the music and roped in Rahat Fateh Ali Khan to sing the song that instantly struck a chord with listeners. 'Dil toh bachcha hai jee': It was a melodious beginning to the year with the romantic number from Ishqiya. But amid singers it was Rahat Fateh Ali Khan who made it big with a couple of hits. From Pritam Chakraborty to Vishal-Shekhar, all enjoyed a fair share of the spotlight. The year cannot be dedicated to any one musician. While raunchy numbers like 'Munni badnaam hui' kept the adrenaline pumping, soft and romantic numbers such as 'Dil toh bachcha hai jee' and 'Pee loon' caressed listeners' hearts and the Sufi number 'Sajda' spelt bliss for music lovers. The year 2010 offered a wide range of Bollywood songs.
