2020 is coming to an end with it another decade. Time has flown by but we still hold our teen memories dear. So the 90s kids dug around a bit into the pop-culture archives and found some of the most iconic 2010 moments that we had completely forgotten about.
From songs that were stuck in our head to movies that made a mark, here are some of our favourites:
1. Band Baaja Baaraat released in 2010 marking the debut of Ranveer Singh and giving us the hit dance number “Ainvayi Ainvayi“
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was the highest-grossing film of the year and marked the beginning of the end.
3. Disney gave us one of the most realistic Disney characters of all time – Flynn Rider with Tangled.
