Wait, what are you missing out? Whats Holi, without music and dance? Are you thinking of playing those same age-old songs for Holi this year again? Its high-time you updated your Holi playlist. Here’s an ultimate guide for you:
Badri Ki Dulhania (Title Song) from Badrinath Ki Dulhania
Remember this song where Alia and Varun dances off to its tunes all smeared with colors? It’s a fresh new Holi song that will set your mood right. Like Badri asks his Dulhaniya, what color should he add to her kurti, “blue ya laal”?
Balaam Pichkari from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Remember this crazy song where Ranbir and Deepika bring out the beauty of the festival? Not just Ranbir and Deepika, Kalki and Aditya Roy Kapoor equally raise the bar for some badass Holi dancing and bhang. All thanks to Vishal Dadlani and Shalmali Kholgade !
Go pagal from Jolly LLB 2
In this song Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi come together to recreate the magic of this festival of colors. Akshay Kumar in the song happily joins the people enjoying this festival without any inhibitions. And so does his love interest Huma. From smearing colors , fooling around and chugging some bhang they do it all.
Tum tak from Raanjhanaa
It is a tender but fun folk classical featuring Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor and it reiterates A R Rahman’s magic. The track is melodious, romantic and is a lovely fit for your Holi playlist.
Do me a favor let’s play Holi from Waqt: A race against time
This is an extremely peppy and funky number. The catchy lyrics come to life thanks to Anu Malik and Sunidhi Chauhan. This song featuring Akshay and Priyanka became an instant favorite for Holi and you need to include it in your playlist.
Besides these dance numbers there are a number of songs celebrating this festival like Lahu Muh Lag Gaya from Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. It is an incredibly sexy song, where Deepika and Ranveer Singh charm each other and surely the audience. There are a few oldies like the one from Silsila playing which has emerged to be a ritual – Rang Barse in Amitabh Bachchan’s very own voice. Download these and you are all set to celebrate this festival of color and love.
