Only a few movies are the whole package in themselves. Good acting, befitting casting, gripping or entertaining storyline and brilliant music. 

However, there are some movies that have nothing in place but still hit the right chords (excuse the pun) with their exceptional music.

Some of the worst movies in Bollywood have given us the most unforgettable songs that we still listen to on loop after all these years. These are films that were saved just because of the good music they had.

Here are seven such really bad Bollywood movies that are remembered only for their amazing soundtrack:

Disclaimer: Major musical nostalgia ahead!

1. Delhi 6

People were literally offended and felt betrayed when ‘Masakali 2.0’ dropped. That’s the kind of impact the music of this film had on fans. 

2. Cocktail

While the plot of this movie gave us a headache, the soulful soundtrack and hard-hitting songs were the ultimate relief and gave us a musical hangover for years.

3. Anjaana Anjaani

We all jammed to the songs of Anjaana Anjaani although the movie sucked big time. We sang ‘Tumse Hi Tumse’ for our crush and ‘Tujhe Bhula Diya’ when they broke our hearts.

4. Bluffmaster

Those who watched this movie still aren’t sure what happened in it. However, no soul would resist tapping their feet if a song from it is played even today (yes we remember the hook steps too).

5. Kareeb

It’s physically impossible for the 90s kids to recall this film and not hum the tunes of ‘Chura Na Dil Mera’ or ‘Chori Chori Jab Nazare Mili’.

6. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Composed by Pritam, the soundtrack of this movie is unmatched. ‘Channa Mereya’ and the title track are still on our playlist.

7. Raaz Series

Barring the first part of the series, which can still give us nightmares, Raaz 2 and Raaz 3 and Raaz Reboot were bearable to watch just because of their hauntingly beautiful songs.
