SRK 90s Quarantine Quiz!

With the Quarantine season getting longer, the nostalgia from yore also gets re kindled with lots of time at home and reminiscing about the childhood glory days. Music always had a role to play growing up and the numbers from King Khan's movies had a nostalgic element entwined to it. They were largely eye catching and tended to have an appeal of it's own. Hence a thought to do a quick quarantine quiz tribute to SRK by paying homage to few of his selective wonders from the good old evergreen 90's.

Listed below are clips of songs played along with answers for the SRK Insta Quarantine 90's quiz. I am just referencing them as Song #1,2,3 etc up to 10 and deliberately refraining from naming the song till the very end so as to enable those interested can take a crack at the number from the little bit that has been played.

Song #1
This one was a musical blockbuster on all fronts and virtually every song from the soundtrack hit the bull's eye. A much celebrated album of it's time. This one's a lustrous melody and has a really catchy tone to it.
Song #2
This one has SRK in a baddie avatar and a role which he reveled immensely. This is more in the lines of a dance number with a peppy tune to back up.
Song #3
A mushy sugary sweet number in the background of a lush meadow with SRK romancing the heroine forms the base of this song. A movie which identifies with his moniker but didn't really set the cash registers ringing.
Song #4
This soundtrack would stake claim to be one of the best musical outputs of the 90's. The songs of this movie took the nation by storm. This particular song is high on energy and intensity.
Song #5
Negative shades of King Khan got exhibited in a major way in this release. This particular number is extremely hard hitting but the interesting thing is it slows down at intervals giving it a diverse variation.
Song #6
The songs from this film were quite popular though the fate of the movie turned otherwise. Foreign locales with King Khan being in his elements in this one.
Song #7
Easily one of the biggest super duper successful jubilee breaking hits from the attic of SRK. This movie catapulted him to all time greatness. The song is largely a heroine oriented song and set to a fast paced melody.
Song #8
This can be considered to be one of his earliest releases. A small time boy making it big in the industry and kind of akin to his real story. This one's a flowing melody packed with a lot of fun quotient.
Song #9
This film has a flavour of patriotism associated with it. Again one of the finest albums of the 90's where almost all of the songs ended up being pretty popular. This one is pulse driven and of the get set go variety.
Song #10
An immensely popular dance number portraying King Khan in a funky avatar. This one's of the hip hop kind setting your feet to tap in unknowingly and automatically.

And now time to divulge the answers for the SRK 90s Quarantine Quiz:
1) Bholi Si Surat - Dil To Pagal Hai (1997)
2) Yeh Khali Khali Aankhen - Baazigar (1993)
