Zindagi Na MIlegi Doobara (ZNMD) translates to You Ain't Getting This Life Back Again. This 2011 Bollywood coming-of-age film was a huge success in India, Europe & North America. Shot mostly in Spain, the film was directed by Zoya Akhtar & music is by the trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (SEL).

Mercifully, you can use acronyms in Bollywood big time. Feel free to say ZNMD when referring to the film & SEL for the music directors.

The album has a combination of high-powered tracks combined with slow, dreamy numbers.The songs of ZNMD were a big hit in India and Europe when the film was
released.

Play any track. Note that I have mentioned the language of the song in brackets. Note - Track 7 is spoken to a music bed.

1. Hi energy tune with a strong rock n roll feeling. Note the guitar/drums. Also note the user of that All-American rock phrase - Baby, Baby, Baby
Singers: Suraj Jagan & Joi Barua (Hindi)
2. Starts soft & slow & picks up steam at 00:30 & then turns into a peppy tune. The song pops right at you & you want to play it again & again. Infectious tune.
Singer: Vishal Dadlani (Hindi & English)
3. Dreamy, melodic tune that lulls you into a happy mood.
Singer: Alyssa Mendossa & Mohit Chauhan (Hindi)
4. This fusion of Spanish, English & Hindi song works in an
interesting way. Flamenco inspired track.
Singers: Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan & Abhay Deol
5. Slow, mellow tune with a philosophical undertone about life.
Singer: Shankar Mahadevan (Hindi)
6. Peppy tune that mixes up Western musical influences with Hindi lyrics. This is a Bolltywood version of a round.
Singers: Dominic Cerejo, Clinton Cerejo & Loy Mendosaa
7. Spoken words in a poetic form about life & living life.
Spoken: Farhan Akhtar (Hindi)
8. High-powered dance version of #2. Party song. Dance tune. Play it loud. Remixed by DJ Shiva (Hindi & English)
9. Fast, Spanish influenced number. You may find yourself doing a little Flamenco ditty in the studio when you play this track. (Spanish & Hindi). Remixed by DJ Shiva
