2010s Ringtones

The Bollywood sound of the 2010s

The 2010s contributed 300 ringtones to the ToneVault library, sourced from 131 Hindi films across the decade. The decade's most-represented voice in our cuts is Arijit Singh, who appears on 46 of these tracks. Behind the scenes, the most-credited music director here is Pritam with 59 compositions. The single film whose soundtrack we mine most heavily for ringtones from this decade is Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, with 6 separate ringtone cuts.

The 2010s were the streaming-era unbundling of Bollywood. Soundtracks shifted from album-as-product to single-as-product, and Arijit Singh became the defining voice of an entire decade.

These ringtones are the most numerous on ToneVault simply because the 2010s produced more chart-topping Hindi songs than any decade before it. Pick a year and dive in.

Mood-wise, the 2010s in our catalogue leans romantic — a fitting reflection of where Hindi film music's gravitational centre sat during this period. The 7,643,031 combined downloads on this page are a useful proxy for which moments of the decade still feel current on a 2026 phone. The high-download cuts tend to be the songs that have outlived the films they came from — the kind of tracks that play at weddings and family gatherings decades after release, and that feel right as a ringtone precisely because they've never quite stopped being part of the cultural conversation.

If you're building a ringtone collection that maps to a specific period of your own life — the years you were in college, the years your kids were small, the years you worked your first job — pick the decade that lines up and scroll. The right ringtone is almost always a song you already half-remember.
