It was not easy deciding on which song to include in this list. What I was looking for was 25 kannada film songs that are full of romance, life and melody. And there are plenty of songs to choose from.
Initially I was confused about inclusion of few songs. There are many beautiful "love songs" that I initially considered but excluded from the list for the simple reason that what I was looking for was more expression of romance in the song and not the melody or expression of sweet love, divine love, whatever. And yes I excluded the solo songs as well coz it was getting difficult to decide!! That is why you will not see awesome songs like "tunturu alli neera haadu", "anisutide yako indu", "nannede kogileya", "onde ondu kanna bindu" etc., in this list.
So here I ended up with the list of 25 beautiful duets. And there is a list of solo songs coming up. :)
I still might have missed to include better songs than these. But mind you, this is just my list and I am calling it "My fav songs" and not "best songs ever". And of course my bad memory might have stopped me from including my past time's most fav songs! Feel free to tel me if I missed any song that deserved to be in the list. I am no sarvajna in this matter; I shall add the song to the list.
Lastly, all said and done, I just love each and every song in this list. If you are a romantic person and lucky to have someone to share the romance, I am sure you will love this list too! ;)
So here goes the list. Enjoy maadi.. (Scroll down for the list in English transliteration.)
