About this room
Built for the hours rather than for a subject. Hindi film music spent the 90s and 2000s making records that are better at eighty than they are sitting still - Chaiyya Chaiyya on top of a moving train, Dil Chahta Hai on the Bombay-Goa road, Rang De Basanti in an open jeep, Swades across a whole country, and Taal, Guru, Lagaan, Dhoom and Jab We Met behind them. This is that music with one rule applied to it: nothing anybody would reach past four hours in. No item numbers, no dirges, no heartbreak. Put it on when you leave and it is still right when you arrive.
1990 to 2007, in the order the room deals them. The player shuffles this list on every visit, so the sequence on screen above is not the sequence here.
