 To sing in joy and remember God on important devotional occasions has been a part of our films since ages. Lord Krishna’s birth marks the festival of Janmashtami or Gokulashtami in India. And if we peep into the past we will discover the strangest thing- although the festival is not touched upon by many filmmakers, but the essence of songs featured on super-stars earlier are still fresh in the memories of Indians. Janmashtami or Gokulashtami is around the corner; so here we are enlisting the famous ever-green songs, which showcase the fondness of B-Town for the festival of Janmashtami.

 This week came as full of surprises for both industry people and cine-goers. Firstly, Love Aaj Kal though still over-riding has almost 65 percent reduction in its business in the second week.
