Hindi films are known for their beautiful and evergreen tunes. Many times Bollywood filmmakers get involved in its music to such an extent that it dominates the entire film. But there’s nothing bad about it, right? There are many instances where we have watched a movie just because of its beautiful album. In this article, we have listed some of the movies on Netflix whose music ruled our hearts more than the film. Check it out.
9 movies on Netflix whose songs we liked more than the movie
1. Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (2024)
- Director: Sharan Sharma
- IMDB Rating: 5.9/10
- Mould: Rajkumar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor, Kumud Mishra, Rajesh Sharma, Zarina Wahab
- Style: sports, drama, romance
The latest released sports-drama film was about a couple who had a shared interest in cricket. The film’s intentions were in the right place, however, it did not leave the impact we expected. Rather, it was the soulful tracks from Sachin-Jigar’s music album, like Tu Hai To and Agar Ho Tum, that we couldn’t stop singing after the credits rolled.
2.Tu Jhooti Main Makkar (2023)
- Director: Luv Ranjan
- IMDB Rating: 6/10
- Mould: Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Anubhav Bassi
- Style: comedy, romance
Had it not been for the refreshing pairing of Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha and Luv Ranjan’s glamorous yet quintessential Bollywood-style cinema, the film would not have been the same. It’s been over a year, yet everything from the epic party number, Pyaar Hota Kai Baar Hai to the romantic track Jadoo and the heart-breaking anthem O Bedardeya curated by Pritam continues to top everyone’s playlist.
3. Love Aaj Kal (2020)
- Director: Imtiaz Ali
- IMDB Rating: 4.7/10
- Mould: Kartik Aryan, Sara Ali Khan, Aarushi Sharma
- Style: Romance, Drama
Expectations from this film were very high. Although romantic drama may have its own destiny, we are happy that we got to see the most beautiful music album of Pritam. It is no surprise that master filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has never compromised with the music of his films and it is simply a treat to the ears and eyes.
4. Zero (2018)
- Director: Aanand L Rai
- IMDB Rating: 5.8/10
- Mould: Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, Shahrukh Khan, Abhay Deol, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub
- Style: romance, comedy
Did the film’s iconic music ring in your mind after hearing the title of the film? This romantic-drama film with a romantic storyline also had comedy elements. Still, the story of a mentally challenged man trying to balance his love for a scientist with cerebral palsy and his love for a movie star seems to be wearing thin. Thanks to Ajay-Atul for their contribution in giving us songs that we continue to enjoy.
5. OK Jaanu (2017)
- Director: Shaad Ali
- IMDB Rating: 5.3/10
- Mould: Aditya Roy Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Sarika Singh
- Style: drama, romance
After Aashiqui 2, expectations from OK Jaanu were sky high following its lead cast. Absolutely right, Shraddha and Aditya’s chemistry is worth watching. However, instead of watching the entire film, watching him spread his magic to the timeless tunes composed by AR Rahman such as the iconic Humma song, Enna Sona and OK Jaanu was our way of dealing with the story of the film.
6. Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017)
- Director: Imtiaz Ali
- IMDB Rating: 5.1/10
- Mould: Shahrukh Khan, Anushka Sharma
- Style: Romance, Drama
Had it not been for the trio of Imtiaz Ali, Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma; It is uncertain whether the romantic-drama would have remained fresh in our memories. The story was set on location and filmed around the world. Still, perhaps we missed the catch as it had so many memories of Love Aaj Kal attached to it.
Pritam’s beautiful and heart-touching music along with the lovely chemistry in romantic tracks like Hawaayen keeps us glued to the screen.
7. Fitoor (2016)
- Director: Abhishek Kapoor
- IMDB Rating: 5.4/10
- Mould: Katrina Kaif, Aditya Roy Kapur, Tabu, Ajay Devgan
- Style: Romance, Drama
How can we not mention a film that is truly one of its kind! An adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic novel, Great Expectations, the film tells the story of a young artist, Noor, who falls in love with a rich and beautiful socialite, Firdaus. This relationship is linked to Firdaus’ troubled past involving his guardian.
As aesthetic and artistic as the film looked, Amit Trivedi did full justice to his music album.
8. Gori Tere Pyar Mein (2013)
- Director: Punit Malhotra
- IMDB Rating: 4.9/10
- Mould: Imran Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Shraddha Kapoor
- Style: Romance, Comedy, Drama
Did the nostalgia take a toll on you? The romantic-comedy drama story tells the love story between a carefree and charming boy, Shriram, who falls in love with a passionate social worker, Diya. Things go unplanned after he lies to Diya and he has to fulfill a condition to get her back. It may sound funny, but it was only Vishal-Shekhar’s catchy and upbeat tracks like Tooh, Naina and many more that we keep singing till today.
9. Ek Main Aur Ek Tu (2012)
- Director: Shakun Batra
- IMDB Rating: 5.8/10

Last but not least is Ek Main Aur Ek Tu, which is a rom-com that tells the love story between a conservative and stoic boy Rahul and a cheerful and happy-go-lucky girl Riana. Although it’s been a long time since the film released, still, it’s always Vishal-Shekhar’s music that takes us back to its music albums.
