Used time and again to denote the love between a daughter and her father, this song’s sentimental value was enhanced by Reshma’s soulful voice.

4. Oh Laal Meri

If you’re a fan of hard hitting music with not-so-soft beats, ‘Dama Dam Mast Kalandar’ is the one for you. The beautifully crooned song is still considered to be a test for a good singing repertoire.
