Brilliant!.......2005-05-30

Having had no clue about Bollywwod music I bought this on a whim and I LOVE IT! It made me go out on a shopping spree on amazon trying to find more CD's like it.
If you are the least bit adventurous and open minded when it comes to music, when you are prepared to try to sing along - in Hindi!, then by any means, buy this compilation.
It opened up a whole new world for me.

Good Selection of Songs from Hindi Films.......2005-03-24

Bollywood is the popular term applied to Hindi films. The term came to existence sometime in the 1990s and has became a catch-all phrase for all Hindi films.

The selection in this 3-set disc spans about 40 odd years of Hindi songs and features a range of artists like Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, etc etc. The selection of the songs give us a good sample of Hindi songs, but whoever produced this album forgot to add some all time favorite songs from Shammi Kapoor's film "Tesri Manzil," the song "Monica" from Caravan or any of the numbers from "Aradhana."

I am not sure how they came up the title "Beginner's Guide to Bollywood," by omitting some "must-have" songs, but if you overlook this oversight the selection of songs is a pretty good one.

Incredible introduction to Bollywood.......2004-05-21

By the time I got this collection, I was no longer a Bollywood beginner. However, only 3 of these songs were reproduced on the other collections I have, and this is by far the best value on the market. The first disc is stellar, incredible, full of classics which you will love instantly. The second disc is very funky, with breakbeats, sound effects, and hot dirty grooves. The third disc is my least favourite, though still full of great moments - it has a decidedly '90's slant to it, sounding quite a bit like American sountrack pieces from the same period. Overall, very very highly recommended, especially for the first two discs.

keeps me grooving.......2003-12-01

this collection beats all this western crap on the radio. these singers (asha bohsle, mohommad rafi, lata...) offer a very wide spectrum of vocals and instrumentation not commonly found in today's digitally enhanced pop junk. the cd makes you dance and i find it quite hilarious too, which is a good thing. it's absolutely fabulous.

The Best Bollywood Compilation on the Market.......2003-10-09

This 3-cd set features an outstanding selection of Bollywood songs, spanning over five decades, at a very reasonable price.

Album Description

The Beginner's Guide To Bollywood 2' is another voyage through Hindi cinema, exploring music culled from the six decades since Indian independence in 1947. CD1 introduces us to the faintly ludicrous but hypnotically funky world of Bollywood Disco, plundering dance tracks from the late '70s and early '80s. CD2 goes back a few decades to explore big band rock 'n' roll tracks from Hindi films of the '50s, '60s and '70s. CD3 is a collection of much-loved kitsch and exotica - novelty tunes, comedy ditties and children's songs from Bollywood's golden age. You'll hear these shrill vocals, thunderous folk rhythms, crunchy guitars and ramshackle string sections blaring out of radios and televisions in most of the Third World, from Indonesian taxi cabs to Kenyan bars to Mumbai restaurants. It's the music that greeted the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan. It's the sound of Bollywood and it's the most popular music in the world.

Album Details

The Second Triple Disc Anthology of Great Music from the Films of Indian Cinema Introducing You to Artists Like the Queen of Bollywood Song Asha Bhosle, Nazia Hassan, Vijay Benedict, Kishore Kumar and Many More.

Customer Reviews:

Stay clear of this one!!.......2007-02-26

I have always enjoyed listening to the Beginner's series of music, but this is the first time I was not so impressed. Some very poor soundtrack recordings spanning from 1947 -77. I have only listened to cd 3, could the other 2 cd's be better? To be honest, what is the big deal about Bollywood!!! Like most popular Asian music, they can only mimic other cultures.
