New Year Revelers To Miss Bollywood Chartbusters 

Hyderabad: A big disappointment awaits the New Year party revelers, as they cannot groove to some of their favorite Bollywood hit numbers like 'Kala Chasma', 'Baby Ko base Pasand Hai' and 'Tere Sang Yaara'.

The fear of landing into legal troubles due to copyright act violation is said to be the reason for the DJ's not incorporating these songs.
