Brace yourselves, Holi is coming. The whole of India is excited about this festival, which allows us to go wild and celebrate like a maniac. If you’re throwing a party on this day, make sure these superhit Bollywood songs are part of your playlist.
Balam Pichkari from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Music director: Pritam Chakraborty
Sung by Vishal Dadlani and Shalmali Kholgade, this song from the hit film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a total riot. Good luck finding a single Holi party where this song isn’t played. Tune hawa mai bhaang milaya, indeed.
Rang Barse from Silsila
Music directors: Shiv-Hari, Shivkumar Sharma, Hariprasad Chaurasia
The most popular Holi song ever, this one starring Amitabh Bachchan is bound to be played at every Holi party worth its salt as you enjoy the phenomenon called ‘rang barse’.
Aaj Na Chhodenge from Kati Patang
Music director: R. D. Burman
Well, if it’s Holi, you can use the opportunity to play pranks on anyone. Whether it is your girlfriend, your crush or your friend’s wife – everything’s accepted on that day. Not. You still need consent from the person you’re playing with and a no means no. Bura mat mano, Holi hai is not okay.
Holi Ke Din from Sholay
Music director: R. D. Burman
No other day brings people closer, and this song from Sholay celebrates just that. After Rang Barse, this is the next best quintessential Holi party song.
Holi Khele Raghuveera from Baghban
Music directors: Aadesh Shrivastava; Uttam Singh
Also starring Amitabh Bachchan, this one from Baghban shows how Holi brings out the youth in even old men.
Ang Se Ang Lagaana from Darr
Music director: Shiv-Hari
From one of Shah Rukh Khan’s best films Darr, Ang Se Ang Lagana is another peppy track that’ll add energy and create the vibe in every Holi party.
Badri Ki Dulhania
With around 650 million views on YouTube, this is likely one of the most streamed songs on the website. Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan’s chemistry is sizzling and so is the song.
Jai Jai Shivshankar
Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan have better chemistry in this song than anyone else listed on this article. The abs, the pectorals and the colours make this song a must-watch.
